Part 2, LONG TIME COMING

OK, I know, posting two days in a roll. I guess I'm on a ROLL.
This is how "Tic Tac WOW" evolved.
If you have been following me for any time at all, you know, I can't leave well enough alone. 
I have to keep adding, cutting, whacking, and, sewing till I get what I want. 
And, I always get what I want. 
I wanted something to add some punch, but, I knew I didn't want plain ole strips around every
block, so, let the playing begin.
 
 After a few trial and errors, (and there were a LOT) this is what I came up with. 
The lay out was the easy part, then, I had to figure out how to sew it together. 
Not so easy part, at least for me. 
So, I had to sew it by sections and the more I sewed, the more I loved it. 
If you can tell, by doing it this way, the rows didn't match up in any direction. 
Oh yeah, liking it even more. 
 I had to do a trail run on the bed to see what was next for the quilt. 
I tried a couple of board ideas, this is just one that didn't make it. 
Ignore my other black and white quilt and bed skirt underneath. 
 This is the finished quilt top with it's stripped boarder.
