Am I missing something?

 Hmmm.  I have some bits made that I like.  In fact, I have quite a few.  I have been happily shuffling them about on the floor and have, I think, a vague sense of where I want to go.  
I have also done some unpicking and made some bits that just didn't work.  See that green strip above?  That's gone now.  I'm still using the green, but not in the centre of a block that wants a blue strip.  You can get the gist of what I am doing, I'm sure.
But here's the thing, the sticking point of the moment.  I kind of feel I haven't got enough.  Maybe I need another fabric or two, since I have abandoned a couple that were in my original pull.  Maybe I need another shape in the mix.  I can't quite put my finger on it.  What I know is that I shuffle and shuffle, but always get to a point where I haven't quite got what I want next.
I have pulled out a couple of shirts that might go into the mix and am doodling away, trying to think about shapes that I could try out too. Fingers crossed!

I like your progress report, it encourages me to be fearless and unpick if I need to. And your colors mixing this way and that with Flying Geese and strips of sawtooth is exciting. Looks great!

I am curious to see which speaks to you: a new shape, new fabrics/shirts, or both!

Doodling is so much fun and you do it so well!

I love the bold stripe in the purple and blue pieces, It looks like you could go in a million different direction with this piece so it will be fun to see where this takes you.

My first impression.... there is something missing. But I cannot get it right at the moment. Perhaps an eye catcher is missing? Pattern or color... I´m not very helpfull I guess.

Orange would be one of the first questions I would ask... but I know you'll find the right question. Liking the flying geese alot.

I love the challenge of improv. So many possibilities and none of them are wrong. Looks like you are on the right track. I agree that if you had more units to play with, a design will emerge. Unsure of more shapes, though. This will be fun to watch.
