On the Wall

I saw a blog yesterday that had a "on my design wall segment" . I liked it so much I'm adding one to my blog.

I am presently working on a row challenge and have been in a quandary about what to put on this quilt I' m working on. I need to add a row above and a row below. But as I've tried a spool block, which I like, there seems to be something missing. So I tried adding some other blocks I've been making as "leaders and enders". I like the two different blocks so far, and that also would put me almost finished, which I like a lot.

My favorite setting is the first picture. This uses both blocks and best of all it uses my stash of 2 1/2 strips and squares. All in all very satisfying.
