"4TH OF JULY BASKETS" DECISIONS

                                                    4th OF JULY BASKETS
                Here they are as of last night on my design wall
                                    16 blocks in all.

They could be configured as below;

what do you think?-- 
or do you like them better all in rows????
then the "baskets" look👀👀 like baskets....
or in long, vertical columns....

Amazing how different they can look.....

                                                   Ojos Di Dios fashion....💗💓👸
                                                     Decisions decisions....
*******************************************

I am also auditioning different fabrics for sashings....
         the left one is the same as the handles; 
               center  is blue/gray with polka dots--
so far my favorite (I think??) 
                and that lovely batik iris piece on the right....

Here are a couple blocks featuring Lizzy's  {click}
thoughtful and generous 
scrap bundle she sent me:      ↶↶↶↶↶
                                     See that brilliant red and gray,
                                      the little patterned batik, and
                                      the plaid angled piece...they
                                     were all part of her bundle....

Thank you, Lizzy--you really inspired these baskets for me...;)))

I had been riffling through my container of leftover hubby pj's and
shirts to see what I could use and these helped me to pull it all
together....sometimes, I think just a few little pieces can send 
a spark of "AHA" to your brain and you say: 

                                "Yup--this is how I want/need to go".

So now comes the waiting and the re-arranging and 
the decision time....
I will set them all four ways over this Memorial Day
weekend and see what happens....

I am wishing you and yours a safe and happy 
MEMORIAL DAY weekend...please wear your mask
and social distance for everyone's safety.....
