Designing

I've been trying to come up with an entry for a challenge with an August 1 deadline.  Try as I might, fitting the 18" x 40" format is a real bear.  On the right is Attempt #1.  I sliced off the bottom 10" and it suddenly improved.  On the left is Attempt #2.  Too boring.  I laid a piece of Hawaiian print across it to see if it added interest.  In the center is the beginning of Attempt #3.

At this rate, I may use up all of my beachy ocean fabric, but I'm probably not going to have a finished quilt by August 1.

Then again, stranger things have happened.  Thanks for stopping by.
