Five-Inch Squares

This new project will become a cloth for my kitchen table. First I accumulated fat quarters (18" x 22") of various materials - anything I liked. I was sure to look for light fabrics and dark fabrics. These were cut into 5" squares and then into smaller squares and rectangles and sewn together to make a pattern. This first picture is some of these pieces. The second picture shows them arranged and ready to be sewn into a block. The design of this small quilt will come from the play of light and dark.
