Making adjustments...

As random as I was trying to make this look, the wavy lines still need to meet up from block to block so they run the length of the quilt. This takes some of the improvisation out of the process (no more swiping that rotary cutter willy-nilly across those batiks!) -- now I've had to lay it all out ahead of cutting and need to be much more careful and calculating in how I slice up the remaining curves and strips.

Chalk it all up to a mild case of OCD, I just can't let those waves run into nothing!

After stepping back from my wacky wavy sewing for a few days to figure out what I was going to do, the layout's pretty much set, though of course each time I walk by, I change a couple blocks out:

Sorry, bad kitchen lighting = washed out colors

It needs enough squares for one more row so it's long enough, and a few others to fill in the blanks and get the color balance right. Once those are chosen, I can start making waves again.

In the end, it's still going to look as organic as I knew it would -- just with a little more thought behind it than I intended!
