A Thousand Pyramids Quilt for Spring in Progress

Like Spring, my Thousand Pyramids Quilt is coming along.  This quilt has turned out to be more challenging than I had expected. 

The solid color triangles don't have a defined up or down.  I had put the quilt blocks up on my design wall and evenly distributed the colors and the one patterned fabric.  But I found I kept inadvertently flipping both the 2 and 4 block units when I took snipped them off the chain piecing strings. 

Back to the design wall.  I resorted the blocks for the quilt and carefully stacked them up in order to make sure I'd sew them together as planned.  Sewing the strips together I'm finding the blocks have shifted again!  (Maybe there is a Night Block Fairy who comes and reshuffles my quilt blocks)!

The color distribution in the finished quilt will be far more random than I'd planned. But I think that is very much in the character of this pattern so I'm happy with the way it's coming together.  

Wait! What's this?  Could it be the Night Block Fairy??
