Keeping My Options Open & Putting A New Spin On Ideas!

Since my last post about Country Corners, I took time to digest what was going on with my prints.  The more I looked at the photos the more displeased I became.  My two small prints were fighting one another.  They were too similar in scale and I realized the cream background of one was making the cream background of the other look dirty.  Can't have that!
I pulled out the eight 2x2 blocks and spent a couple of days digging in Stashzilla again.  I came up with several almosts, but in pure daylight was still not happy.  Finally!  A light cream on cream surfaced from the depths.  I cut my 8 new squares last night and sewed the block together late this afternoon. 
I think my first Country Corners block and I are going to be able to co-habit happily now! 
Originally, I was thinking that this would be a square set quilt, but after seeing Cindy's wonderful on point block in Lynn's recent post about her Sew'n Wild Oaks Class, (click there!) I had one of those Ta-Da! moments!  I've always loved on point settings, so I'm probably going to be assembling the upcoming blocks with that in mind.
In this setting I really like that all my colors are drawn out to the outer edges and that with this placement I've created a double star.

 

 

Have you spun a block recently to see how it works on point?
