I enjoy paper pieced projects, but I'm learning that my usual approach of layout and color doesn't work well. I have a much harder time envisioning the final product before I start. This project changed directions twice since I started, and halfway through the second revision I thought of yet another (but I no longer had enough fabric to change directions - so I forged ahead).
I had anticipated my next step would be to assemble the blocks. However, I first need to fix a couple of blocks (the ones sewed together as I was changing my mind how it should look). Then I need to let this stew. I generally don't like starting another project while one is in progress. It's not how I work. However, this needs to hang on the wall for a while and let me stare at it and tinker with some pieces before I put it all together. I know it will look better when I fix the oddball blocks, then hopefully it will speak to me and tell me what to do next.

Your quilting process is much the same as a fine art painter. You have a good sense of color and balance.
