First I put all of the blocks up on the design wall and then I auditioned some more fabric choices to add in new blocks. The sun is coming in from the left and I don't have a light that shines on the right side of this particular wall. It is hard to get a good picture, but this was the wall that was empty to work on.
In the design process the blocks are left in quarters because of the offset layout. I made 4 new groups of quarters.
I felt it needed some more of the brighter green in it. Some of these blocks were used to fill in the half block areas on the edges. Next step is deciding how big this quilt will be. Right now it would finish at 66" x 72" if I just finish the right edge. Not a good size.
I kept seeing the fabrics laid out that are ready to sew on Wed. and couldn't resist sewing this group together.
They joined the group of beigeness and I can see they will fit in nicely.
It got down in the 50's last night, really good sleeping weather.
Rosebud quilt is going to be gorgeous. You have some fabulous fabrics in that one.
ReplyDeleteI love the rosy batiks you are adding to the beige blocks.
ReplyDeleteI love the addition of the bright greens!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your blog and your comments so please continue with them. I love the greens in the rosebud quilt!
ReplyDeleteI just love the rosebud quilt! Those are some of my favorite color combinations. Just beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing how your 9-patch beige quilt works up.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the softness your biege quilt will have with the new additons . Sometimes we need a little quiet in our lives.
ReplyDeleteThe additon of green ( your new neutral )in the rosebud's really perks up the colors.

Gorgeous, gorgeous! That pink batik with the seeds on it is so beautiful. I'm thinking more greens is looking good. I wish we were in the 50s, but I'll settle for 60s.
ReplyDeleteI like the roses with the vanilla!
ReplyDeleteI like the soft pinks with the vanilla. Can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteHi Wanda,
ReplyDeleteThe rosebud quilt blocks are looking yummy. Makes me realize I "need" to collect more batik greens and pinks.
I am enjoying the cooler summer in the upper midwest this year. Still time to heat up, though!
