Journey 2 Nebula - Gazebo: Cutting & Layout

My slow-moving-projects continue this past week. I finally managed to get the cutting done on my Journey 2 Nebula project, Gazebo. For this project, I dug deep into the stash/scrap bin. These 2.5" strips were leftovers from a previous Jaybird Quilts project that I made, Snack Time. Since I don't have many pictures of this week's layout, I'm happy to show Snack Time. I made this over seven years ago, so I don't remember all of the fabric that I used, but I believe that the strips were a Robert Kaufman jelly roll.

Gazebo was early to cut using just half hexies and two sizes of triangles. The colors remind me of a Lite Brite, so I've had the commercial's song from the 80s/90s in my head. I adored my Lite Brite. I wouldn't turn my nose up at a new version either. :)

I placed the teal in the center of the layout and worked my way out to the brightest lime color. Since the fabric is older and has been around the scrap bin for a while, there are many frayed edges, but I'll trim those when I go to sew it. I might try some fancy free motion quilting when I get to that point, but we'll see!
