With my checkerboard blocks well underway,
and my nice neutral for the sashing in hand,
I've started assembling blocks for my "Are We There Yet?" version of Long Time Gone.
The left side is shaping up nicely.
I think I'm going to really like this!
Since this quilt is all about the scraps and the neutrals and the neutral scrap, I'm linking up with SoScrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday (late again!) and with Quilting is more fun than Housework for Oh Scrap! See you there!

Excellent choice!
I love how you quilt is coming along. When my kids were little and we would be on a trip they would ask me "Are we there yet?" I would always tell them "We're not going there". That's going to be the name of my Long Time Gone quilt....lol Hugs
I love where this is going! It's going to be gorgeous!!
Your orange is so neat with those blocks--who'd a thunk it?? LOL Great work hugs, Julierose
I love the randomness and variety of the blocks you're including in this quilt and I think your neutral orange looks great. The puzzle of fitting all those blocks together makes my brain tired. Did you choose a a particular size as a standard variation - like 1 1/2", or 2", or 2 1/2", or...?
I had no doubt you would be making a perfect choice for your sashing. This quilt is going to be amazing. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
Love what you're doing here! The orange is perfect! I can't wait to see the rest.
applause! so great with orange. Such an interesting setting... great job Gayle!
Ah, it looks wonderful, great choice!
Hey, Freddy Moran declared red to be a neutral in her world so why not orange in yours?! I'm loving the way this quilt is shaping up. Makes me wish I'd learned about it sooner so I could make one like it!
Looks gorgeous with all those orange strips in there. Keep on going. I won't tell the quilt police.
Orange really was the only choice.
I love the orange sashing! You nailed it, Gayle!
SO glad you chose the orange - makes the whole quilt sing!
Orangen't you glad you picked orange? Hehehe! It looks fabulous! Enjoy the piecing. ;^)
Love, love, LOVE the orange! Now I know you were steering me away from orange so I wouldn't steal your thunder. Especially love the clarity of your blocks.
The orange is just assertive enough to hold up against all the colors and patterns. It unifies them all. Can't wait to see the rest, and neither can orange piglet sneaking a peek.
Yup, I knew it would be orange right from the first sashing previews. And it looks great.

Orange has become my favorite color too - which is odd because I hated it in the 70s after seeing it everywhere. All of your blocks are gorgeous and look so good together.
looks wonderful. great choice!
What a feast for the eyes! I give three thumbs up (out of 2, LOL) to your selection of orange!! Insert all the heart eyes here!!
It looks amazing! :)
I think its time to claim orange as the new neutral. What a great choice!
Wowza!!! Orange was definitely the way to go, this is stunning!
