Black and White 'Paradigm Shift'
Here are the first 3 rows of the back and white blocks sewn together. They look really interesting don't you think? After working on it for a few more days I finally sewed all seven rows of blocks.
Thankfully I am now wise enough in the ways of quilting to know that one needs to lay the pieces out before sewing the rows together for a final check. And thank heavens I did!
I had not noticed a mistake in block arrangements in the first 3 rows. There are 2 triangles the same which are touching each other. Can you spot the mistake in the photo below??/
Look carefully...
Look carefully...
So I had to take a couple of blocks apart and switch a row and now I should have no conflicts! :)
See photo below:
Next time I make this quilt pattern, I will have to remember to make 44 blocks instead of 42. It was very difficult arranging these 42 blocks according to the pattern without having the same fabrics touching. With 2 extra blocks to insert as needed, it would have been much easier to arrange them. (Live and learn...)

I have decided that I definitely will use this idea to create a baby quilt, with 2 colors ( not black) and maybe smaller blocks, instead of 8 5/8 inch blocks I would try and make 6 inch finished blocks.
More about that later!
