scrappy blocks

Here are my first scrappy blocks.  These are fun!  I've decided to have a touch of every color in each block (red, black, yellow, green), which I think ties them together.  So far, I'm loving how they're coming together.   My plan is to work on a few every couple of days.  The 4 I made last night came together really quickly.  I already have my prints picked out for the next batch and can't wait to make them.  Putting these fabrics together is so fun and freeing - definitely my kind of playing!

I love how those squares are coming along! The colors are beautiful! I noticed each of your squares are a little different as far as pattern goes. Does it take a while to figure out the math or are you 'winging' it? :)

Please post more of your squares as you finsih them - love them!
