Dragonfly update round robin latest row

 

The prompt for our first row after the center on the Stay at home round robin (SAHRR) challenge is

Hourglass blocks. Our choice of size, color and placement

(I'm having a lot of trouble making decisions right now)

I made these hourglass blocks first

but wasn't sure I liked the placement... 
oooo pretty colors and fabrics!

love them! 

I had decided I want to make lots more even! but.... are they too dark for placement next to the dragonflies? 
so.... what if I gather light sky batik colors and make some more? okay!
2  5" squares, face to face,  chalk in a diagonal line, sew quarter inch from it on both sides of the line
cut in half and open up, press. Place the HST units face to face (opposite color over the other) draw diagonal line the other direction, sew quarter inch away on both sides of the line, cut on yellow line, open press and
oooo pretty colors again! pretty batiks!
start arranging them on top this time...

more confusion.... I'll need to have a clearer head to decide on a fabric to go between the dragonflies and the hourglass blocks. 

batiks are so pretty!


so is this garden scene, but it's a change from the painterly looking batiks...



so all I know for sure is I like hourglass blocks, and batiks, and 
DRAGONFLIES!
