Design Wall (and floor) Monday

 I've been working on a specific project - and playing a bit.  Two weeks ago, I taught a class at Chestnut Bay Quilting using the Jaybird Quilts Lotus pattern and Hex-N-More ruler.  This was my FOURTH Lotus quilt - and the first time making the twin sized version.  I think I am going to need a bigger floor - it got a little bit tight laying this one out.  This pattern goes together so quickly, though - I started cutting this on May 17 - and as of last night I have 4 of the 6 rows assemble and attached together.  This quilt will be a Christmas gift, so I have a bit of time to figure out the backing and the quilting, though I do have some good ideas.

Using the same ruler - I decided to try my hand at a one-block-wonder.  I had previously done a kaleidoscope technique, and from the reading I had done on OBW, I figured that it was not all that difficult.  With the Hex-N-More ruler, and some great floral I picked up at a bargain basement price, I set to work stacking and whacking.  I was cutting 3.5" triangles, and these little blocks were from the leftover tails of each strip - not wide enough for the 3.5" so I cut out a 2.5".  I think I will put this together into a tote bag panel - perhaps to put the final quilt in?
