This month, our Quilty Improv Group explored the fifth Score, \u201cRhythmic Grid,\u201d in Ms Sherry Lynn Wood\u2019s book.
\nAs I looked over my meager stash, I found a lovely bag of \u2018destash\u2019 scraps with blue and aqua 2\u201d strips, reds and pink 5\u201d squares, plus a bit of extra fabric. There isn\u2019t a lot to work with, but that makes it more interesting, right?
\n\"2016SquaresGotRhythmA\"<\/a>Skimming the instructions, I started building my grid by adding red strips to blue squares.<\/p>\n

\"2016SquaresGotRhythmB\"<\/a>As I laid these out in my normal 18\u201d format, I realized that they were too predictable, so I switched to a diagonal. \"2016SquaresGotRhythmC\"<\/a>Still an expected layout, but I\u2019ve yet to work the blue, stripped red squares into the Score.

\nAs my precut squares are used up, I let the borders drift into instability with more rectangles, but keep up that zigzag feeling.\"2016SquaresGotRhythmF\"<\/a>The most interesting part of the layout turns out to be the zigzag, even if the sizes are grid format.\"2016SquaresGotRhythmE\"<\/a>Ultimately, I\u2019m pretty pleased with my results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
