Here are my first 4 blocks for a king sized quilt I want to make.  I've been wanting to make one for my bed for awhile now but have been worried about quilting a king sized one.  I decided to just start piecing the top.  I still don't know how I will fit a king size quilt on my home sewing machine but I will think about this later.  Perhaps i'll just have it quilted by someone with a long arm machine.

I decided to make my blocks using mostly solid fabrics.  Solids I am using are: Shot cotton, Kona Ash, Coal, Medium grey and Tomato.  Printed fabrics are Lotta Jansdotter, Kumiko Fujita, American Jane print, Neptune, Hope Valley.  These blocks are improvisational in that I just start cutting fabric and piecing together whatever I have available around me.  Each block, however, will be approximately 17" unfinished.  I am thinking about just piecing each block together the way they are or possibly adding white sashing.  I haven't decided yet.  But I do have 11 blocks finished so far and I do like the way they look together!
