SCHOTTISCHE - A traditional folk dance with two sidesteps to the left, and then two to the right, followed by a turn in four steps ... because it's OK to change my mind

Centering

 

And back to Bramble Blooms:

We are tasked with creating the background for a centerpiece block to which we will be adding applique.  Again, no specifics; just encouragement to use several fabrics in assorted-size-pieces to achieve a casual assemblage in the 20-ish inch range.  The example was done in light neutrals, but I felt like starting with color instead of neutral to establish my project's style and to reinforce this block as a focal point.  I have more color ideas flitting around in my mind.

My chosen proportion for my overall project is a 3 x 4 rectangle, and I'm aiming for this block to finish at 18" x 24".  Right now, it's 20" x 26", which allows for take up, trimming, second-guessing, etc.

So I'm off to a solid start ...
