I got all excited about this one because I thought using black and white fabrics with a few pops of the teal color could be fun. It turned out pretty much how I imagined it...I have lots of black and white fabrics in my stash and tons of scraps, so I wanted the pieces to be small enough that I could use up some of the scraps.
I designed the quilt in Inkscape, adding different sized rectangles and squares until I had a section that was about 20". Then I flipped, rotated or repeated the section before changing the size/shape of some of the pieces to fit and interlock with the other sections.
Once I had the design on my computer screen, I just clicked on each piece, mentally added seam allowances, cut the piece and added it to my quilt layout. It actually went together pretty well, considering that the sashing wasn't exactly the right size on my computerized design. I ran into a few places where I was off by 1/4" or so, but I only had to re-cut 2-3 pieces so it wasn't a big deal.
I decided on fabric placement as I went, so it got a little crazy in my quilting room while I was working. I ended up with everything spread out all over the floor because it was just easier (and I don't have enough table space for this kind of operation).
This quilt needed several partial seams to make it work. This means I had to sew part of one seam, finish one or more other seams and then go back to finish the initial seam. It was actually kind of fun to figure out the order I needed to sew the pieces in - kind of like a puzzle but with fabric!
