My #pasdedeuxquilt designed by @stitchedincolor has not been touched since July. This week I decided a relook at things was well overdue.
'Still point' was quite a tricky ensemble, with the blocks utilising y-seams to create a flurry of dancing twists and turns. It wasn't sitting flat, so I threw it back into the basket!
The other day I spent some time unpicking a few seams, re-stitching, and am much happier now ...
Then I tackled another ensemble, 'Transparency'. I chose a similar colour combo as my 'pinwheel star' block, as I've learnt that a sampler quilt can really benefit from a little repetition ...
And then, today I also made up the 'hourglass' group of blocks ...
I thought I better lay things out again, just to check on how my colours were all working together. It's a big quilt, and as you can see, it's all spilling over the edges of the design bed! Finished size approx. 64" x 76".
Only two more ensembles left to make now, so I'm carefully deciding on the last few fabrics.
It's getting exciting!
See you soon, Linda

This is a beauty Linda! I hadn't realised how large it was, when I first saw it come up on her blog I was very tempted but passed on it. You have a lovely mix of colour here.
How pretty, Linda! I'm glad you resurrected this from the basket and have determined to make it "right." I can see how those twist blocks would be challenging to keep flat. But with the yummy colors you chose to put together, you sure can't stop now! Love seeing your version of this, as I've watched several of them come together. I thought (briefly) about joining-in, but as always, I'm glad I didn't... not because I don't love the design (I do!) but because I too often take on more than I can handle, which leads to frustration and unhappiness. Thanks for sharing your Pas de Deux. It's looking great!
That's an amazing and very complicated-looking set of blocks, Linda! But your colors are so lovely. I always admire your knack for color and fabric choice!
