Rectangles, sewn and designed
I have sewn the first 2 rectangles for this quilt. I need to make 4 rectangles of each of these colors.
I have designed 2 purple ones but didn't have the energy to sew them last night.
This is the first light one I have designed. I need to cut a lot more light fabrics before I can make 4 different color groups. I need to be a couple steps ahead of my students that are coming next Saturday but I don't have to have the whole quilt sewn.

Hi, Wanda!
I don't think I'd want to own such a large collection of Kaffe Fassett fabrics, myself, but I like to look at them. (I do own a few of his books.)
Thanks for sharing these. I look forward to watching this quilt's progress.
Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.
Love how the corn pieces look like jewels on the rectangles.

I have heard others too stay that they have to stay ahead of students - it is a way to keep on top of things and get things done!

It's going to be a pretty quilt. I love all the greens in the light rectangle that you did. My favorite color.
Lovely colours! This one is going to be a beauty!
I just love the way you combine colors! There is something rich about it....as in exuberant! :) Thank you for sharing.

Hi Wanda, I'm behind on my reading! I discovered I just don't have as much time lately as I'd like to, so I can savor all the blogs I like to read!
Interesting rectangles, I especially like the light colored one. I look forward to seeing the finished piece; I know it'll be gorgeous because you have such a great sense of color and design!

Beautiful colors you have chosen, it is hard to believe you don't have enough light strips cut.....have fun getting them ready.
I love the way you coordinate your colors!
More' luscious' fabrics to frame the diamonds. I always enjoy watching your progress.

Your color sense is so fabulous! I'd doing a Pie in the Sky pattern for my daughter's college quilt, and I'm using a lot of Kaffes in it, along with batiks and other brights. Looking at your quilts I have learned the value of having lights in there too. Thanks!
This quilt is one that helped convince me to buy this particular Kaffe book. I really haven't bought many of his lights. My mistake.
The darker ones catch my attention, and that's what I order. Your posts have shown me the error of my ways, if I want the contrast that quilts need. Time for some lights to head this way.
I love the colors and can't wait to see the finished project.
I am with Pat (comment above) .... the colors are awesome and I am looking forward to seeing the process and finished project.
