On The Modern Quilt Guild's blog, a tutorial was recently posted for an Octagonal Orb quilt block.

I decided that I wanted to make a quilt using this pattern. I like the color scheme of this block, but I thought it would be cool to alternate the color where the red is in the block above for each block I make. One block could be red, another green, another purple, etc.
Last weekend I started going through my stash and began cutting my grey and white fabric into squares per the tutorial. I realized I don't have very many grey/white fabrics, so I ordered some and plan to seek out some more as I visit fabric stores over the near future. The biggest challenge is finding grey and white fabrics without black or other colors. I want the look of just grey and white with the accent color. This will probably be a longer-term project.
These half yard cuts just arrived last night. The color is off a bit since this photo was taken late at night and the lighting wasn't great. They're all grey grey and white fabrics.
What did I do with them? I began cutting them all up!
I still have a bunch left to cut, but hey, what else will I be doing without my sewing machine? CUTTING!
