Atomic Strips

I've been playing with more scrappy strip sets, this time using them to make improv atomic shapes. I created the look of hollow centers or cut outs by matching the strips on either side of the white fabric in the middle.

The shapes strike me as bold and masculine with a lot of hard edges, so I opted for mostly low contrast gray and white.  It's not turning out exactly as I envisioned, but I have a fun idea for the quilting.
