Nine blocks from Sara. I used some non-black, but very-dark colors for some of the diagonals.
This looks like a good way to use up some more of my 2.5" strips while making a quick charity quilt. Bonnie has lots of good designs for that, as well as the mini-pieces she uses in her mysteries. [New mystery starting on Nov. 18; check her blog for it at quiltville.com.

I avoided using anything but black in my first few blocks but now I see blocks with dark colors instead of black, I can see how that choice of fabric makes the blocks more dimensional when they are placed together. Some blocks receed, some pop out (usually the black ones) but it just adds another dimension to the flow of the blocks.
