While at the Gwen Marston Retreat I put together four "confetti" blocks into a larger block. Then I slashed them and inserted narrow strips, like chopsticks. Here are two corner areas blown up so you can see how the blocks were constructed.
I thought I would calm down the chaos by using blue sashing strips and yellow cornerstones. [When I said that to my Bee they all chuckled. You mean that doesn't calm it down?]
Here's the whole thing, 47" x 60", not big enough for a twin bed, but a "snuggle" quilt. For someone who likes bright colors! Another UFO bites the dust.
Oh yes, here is most of the back:

Ilove quilts that are graphic and this one sure is!
looks like it was such a fun quilt to make.
congrats on finishing it. A nice memory of the retreat I am sure.
very fun to look at too.

Fun quilt! If the sashing doesn't calm it down, at least it contains it. You are doing great on the UFOs.
What a cool quilt.
Love your Chopsticks! When I saw the title of the post, I thought you had worked with that Chopsticks pattern and templates from years and years back.
It's one of those things like Doreen Speckman's Peaky and Spike. It rest comfortable in a box or drawer somewhere, long hidden from the light of day.
Your version is wonderful, and yes, I like the blue and green added to calm things down. Great finish Sara! Hugs and Happy Turkey time, Finn
I love this QUILT!!! wow!
