Making the individual pieces is slow, but I'm getting into the swing of it, so prep a few, then sew, prep a few, then sew. At the same time I am playing around with grouping them. I started off with everything in a line, but am now having a go at staggering them a bit. I'm not really making any firm decisions, just seeing how things look, getting a feel for it all.
So here are a few blocks, in slightly different configurations. I'm going to make some next in a 3rd size, somewhere between these big and small squares, then possibly add another element in, though I'm still on 'keeping things simpler' road that I started with the second walls piece and Quiet Quilt.

All the stripes go horizonally. Since you're still designing, have you tried turning some of them crosswise?
What fun. The colours are singing. This will keep you cheerful for weeks. AFM
Love the stripes in circles.
They look good together, no matter the layout. All those stripes are fun.
Beautiful colors! I like layout number 1 the best.
Your circles are so pretty. I love the fabrics you've used.
The play is looking lovely!
Very nice! I like the differences in sizes that you're playing with. The second layout is my favorite.
Middle one - the big circles look like a smile to me!
Simply wonderful --- love watching this evolve.
This is so interesting to see develop.....so many possibilities already
Good mix up, lots of interest.
Love the circles in different sizes, and the colours are great. Aren't the Oakshotts a dream to work with?!
Loving this!
The fun shines thru.... looking good!
Love it.
Love the stripes, love the colors, keep going!
Wonderful setting!!
This is looking good. It's very planetary.
Really nice color and pattern choices.
I find with stripes you either go for perfection in lining them up, or make them wonky on purpose. If you want perfection and one or two are wonky, it is awful, so I always go WONKY! Love the colors.
Fantastic mismatched sizes, love the effect! Also love that beautiful jade /turquoise colour :)
I am loving this, everything about it, it just does something for me!
