This is my percolating project that I’ve been playing around with and I still can’t make a definite decision. So it will continue to percolate.

The sashing between the blocks didn’t work for me. The houses need to make a statement about being “a crowd” and the sashing separates them too much. I also decided late last night to make a subtle change to one other house which means ripping out some stitching. Thankfully I haven’t sewn the blocks together yet. Next, some decisions about borders…

I keep leaning toward the reds, but I think it’s because I *like* red, *a lot.* I want to fuse words in the border so I’ve settled on a yellow (not the one in the pic) and I’m going to use red for some of the words because I *like* red, *a lot.*

Then I was playing around with this for the inner border… I’ll need more if I’m going to use it. I’m undecided.

Late last night I also came up with the words for the border. I was planning on something about “standing out from the crowd,” but decided instead of a phrase to use words with opposite meanings about blending in vs. standing out–lead/follow, comply/rebel, etc.

Okay, I’m off to watch “Bones” and then finish loading a quilt on the frame…
