Still fiddling with sand castles

I've got the yellows a little better than they were, but still need to fuss some more arranging these blocks.  (They're showing up way brighter in the photos than they are in real life.)  There's no reason to rush this process, so I'll just keep playing with blocks until I get tired of it, then I'll say 'fiddlesticks!' (or words to that effect) and just sew them together.


Though now I've got an empty bin.


Whatever shall I do?


Linking with SoScrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday with my Sand Castles from last year's RSC, and with Quilting is more fun than Housework for Oh Scrap!  Come join the fun!

Fiddlesticks! Empty bin. Congrats! A quilt like that do need some fiddling time. It will all come together in the end. Enjoy! ;^)

I like your Sandcastles more every time I see them, Gayle - such a fun and colorful design! You've done a great job with your fiddling!

Lovely blocks and a lovely empty box. How long will that last? Enjoy your rearranging. Happy stitching!

I'm thinking it won't be long before that bin is no longer empty. ;-)

I find my bag only stays empty for a millisecond. Funny that. Moving blocks around is one of my favorite parts of the process.

Fiddle dee dee...fiddle dee dum...Fiddlesticks. I'm glad I don't have a design wall or floor because if I did I would never get anything finished. Not my fav thing to do because nothing ever looks right.

Empty box! Oh my...can't have that!

If I finish one project, there are already at least 5 more in the works waiting for me to get back to them. No matter how you fiddle with them they will make a wonderful quilt. I love it.

As Scarlet O'Hara said, "Fiddle-ee-Dee!" Your Sandcastles are beautiful. Love the colors! It's been a few days since your post. Is that empty bin still empty??!!? I'm betting it won't be empty for long! Have a great rest of your week!

Very cool looking blocks! You'll get them to a place that 'clicks' I'm sure. You are so good at taking these simple but complex looking blocks and turning them into great looking quilts!:)

Bet your bin won't be empty for long! Your Sand Castles are amazing and have fun playing with the arrangement - after all you have heaps of time! By the way I like the fabric in the backing for the Temperature quilt.
