The collection of Wisdom blocks is gradually growing to a number that I can use for a quilt. These finish at 9" and seem to look good set on point or laid out in straight rows. I'm not sure yet which layout I'll use.
I did lay the 26 current blocks out on the floor to see what I have. The backgrounds are varied, from plain white to minimal neutral prints.
A photo often reveals something we haven't noticed before. There is a 4-patch in the center of each of these blocks and when I tossed them onto the floor I didn't worry about which direction they went. Hmmmm - I think I need to make sure they are more random when I actually sew rows together. My natural inclination would be to lay them all the same direction but it looks better random.

How about alternating directions by row to get both variety and a recurring pattern?
I love that scrappy block. What a great way to use up scraps.
I love this block. I think I would switch the 4 patch every other one instead of random. It might not look random when it's put together, but every other one would be pleasing to the eyes. I love when I get enough blocks made that I can lay it out and see what else I need to make.
So pretty! That is a great block pattern and you have a nice variety of fabrics and colors.
I see what you mean about the nine patches, I am cdo so I would be forced to face them all the same way! :)
I didn't see the 9 patches till I read your text. It will be fun quilt random or not. I have a hard time with random, I'd have to do some type of ordering.
