Unlike David Bowie's new song, this one is growing on me

Am working on my latest commission, twin quilts. Two almost identical, but with some artistic licence :)
Suggested block layout, in bad light


Not a palette I would choose for myself, and to start with I found it hard to like the colours, though I really enjoy making star blocks - simple but effective. Slowly, though, the colours are becoming more appealing and soothing. It is good to work out of my usual comfort zone, and the results are worth it. 

I won't sew anything together till I have the two quilts laid out side by side where I can check for block position, but in the meantime I have quite a star production line going on. I find it easier to make half a dozen or so together, then I can batch iron and chain piece. Happy hours!
