I combined the marbles with other small printed fabric to make a pile of half square triangles. Placement was the really fun part. I started by making 9 patch groupings by color and then banded them with a small black and white print. From there I segued to this configuration by interrupting the single color nine patches with the black strips and occasionally I included a six patch. I often let an adjacent color play with a nine patch. It was a total joy to work with these colors. I think it's true of most quilts, that adding some layer of complexity causes the viewer to look a lot longer. that is a goal of mine in creating.

I have always loved the marbles... I want every color, and act like Elaine on Seinfeld before using them..."is this quilt marble-worthy?"

Stunning - love how well balanced the piece feels, the contrast of warm and cool colors and selecting a curved motif for an all over design on a piece of full right angles.
Love your color play here! Really wonderful. The quilting is perfect for this piece, as is the choice of sashing. Awesome!
