Like a Sunny Day, Design Wall

I was a kid with a pile of blocks to play with over the weekend.  At first I was rearranging then on the wall then I took them all off and sorted them into piles of mostly yellow, mostly blue, red, green and purple.  Like a kid with Halloween candy.  Then I would start at one corner and pick and choose and work my way across the wall and move things around. Then step back and hmmm and hmmm some more.  Then they would all come tumbling down again to start the process over a third or fourth time.  The last time up I started with the yellows and blues, arranging them diagonally and alternating. That just looked like clutter.  I liked them better when I grouped 4 yellows then 4 blues.  The groups of spun out from there.  In the top 2 photos the blues are together but not by value.  The greens at the bottom of the first 2 photos were moved and regrouped.  The third photo the yellows and reds on the right side have been moved.  In the last photo the blues were grouped more by value and the green at the bottom was moved to the right so the two puddles of green were not lined up in the same row.  All the while I'm arranging these blocks I'm jumping up and down from my sweet 16 machine quilting on the white on white quilt.  I could just sit and study the quilt but I see the problems better with a glance.  I believe this is the final arrangement.  There are two of each block and they are at least two rows apart.  I like the way my eye moves around the quilt.  Today I sew the blocks together.  Linking to Judy's DWM.  --Ann--
