Chock A Block fun

 
A new package arrived yesterday, a few yards of batik fabric that I had ordered. I've been wanting to get out of my comfort zone and do something in some bright colors ... boy oh boy did I ever.  Some Plumeria Marine, some Turquoise, some Gold and some Orange.

For a few weeks, I've been looking at a 9 patch variation I found over at   


While the blues were okay, I was really drawn to the combination with orange and yellow.

Last night I pulled out my new AccuQuilt and sliced up the yardage into 2 1/2" strips and set to work





And after some slicing and dicing, this is how it looks




Updated ....
 
And here is the finished quilt. It came out a bit differently than the draft copy above, but I like it so much more!
 
 
 
I still want to try Chock-A-Block, but I have many many others I need to complete first.
