Two by two, strips of blue...*

My husband worked a bunch over the weekend, so I had some unexpected time to work on the Starry Night quilt.  I spent Saturday afternoon ironing fabrics and cutting strips, mostly at 2.5", though quite a few are smaller and some are 3" to mix it up some.

The pink tags mark how long they are.

Then I sort of randomly sewed them together.  I wanted a good distribution of the fabrics and shades.  I did sew them together in pairs, and then together until I felt like the panel was large enough.

And then I did a lot of ironing, of course.  And then this:

The good news is a friend on FB said this reminded her of Van Gogh!

Next I will cut 11.5 x11 blocks out of them at weird angles...which means that all that work will only make about 10 blocks, and I need about 30.  And I'm out of decent navy blues.  Y'all know what that means!  ...(fabric shopping, of course)....
