Last of the Modern Lap quilt blocks

This has gone a lot faster than I expected - having the week off from work probably helped. It is like each block is it's own little quilt; I get to decide what material I'll use, cut the pieces, sew them together and then take a picture. I get so excited about the one I just did, I have to do another and pretty soon, the afternoon is gone and I have all these wonderful blocks. Ahh!

So below are pictures of the rest of the blocks and a couple pictures of them laid out on the bed. Each of the blocks looks great on their own but when I saw them all together 3 of them don't quite fit so I'm going to re-do those with some different fabric. I'll take before and after pictures and post those when I get them done.

The next step is to decide what order the blocks go in. There will be 6 blocks per row and 6 rows - that will make a lap quilt for 2 - about 6' x 6'. The pictures of the blocks on the bed show them laid out as they came out of the book - in number order.

My plan is to put the blocks together with a 2-tone sash but I haven't settled on the material yet. I'll go look tomorrow to see what I find. I'd like to find a really pale green and a taupe that complements it but I never know what will jump out at me when I'm surrounded by fabric.

So here are the final blocks:
