Indigo Challenge on Design Wall

I didn't have that much Indigo (only 2 - 1 yard pieces) for Judy's Monochromatic Challenge, so I though it was going to be mixed with lots of white and probably very small. Then I found this OLD indigo/white floral, which looked like a good filler and I had 2 yards. Starting with one block -- a big one, I added 3 more! Each section is 6" so the finished block is 18".

I only had enough of the first Indigo fabric to make the four blocks. Then I pulled the second 1 yard piece and made a small 1" finished border against the 2" white border and to piece the corner units.

The corner units came from a large weaving block found in "The It's Okay If You Sit On My Quilt Book" by Mary Ellen Hopkins.

What started out small is now about 60" square -- I still have a little floral to make a small border, or maybe I will use more white. From the picture, I can already see I want to change a few corner unit pieces and will sew everything together, then decide on the border. The wall may stay like this for a while until I finish quilting a couple of tops.

I am also waiting for the "Drunkard's Path" to come back from the Long Arm Quilter to add binding - then off it goes to raise funds in the memory of two special young men who died in the path of a drunkard driver last July.
