Freebird Sneak Peek

My productivity continues after a great First Friday Night Sew-In experience.   While I was browsing quilting blogs the other day I came across this quilt (and really nice tutorial) by Burgundy Buttons.  So rather than finish the binding on pink and chocolate quilt, I decided to start another project.  I used a layer cake of the Freebird line by MoMo for Moda.  Here's what I have done so far!

Each square needs to be trimmed down to 4.5" and I think 

these scraps are too pretty!

The pattern calls for brown sashing between each 4.5" square.  

But I think I like the way it looks now better.  What do you think??
