Changes!

We had a great work day last week.  We were able to get through the final planning of the color placement of the blocks on the quilt top.  We figured where we wanted each of the main colors and then decided which of our remaining blocks should carry the colors we still needed.  I drafted it out and we played with it from there.

We have ten more to complete and then we'll be ready to start on the sashing!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, there were some changes in the wind for some of our existing blocks.  Here they are:

"Comfort Quilt"

                     

Above (before) and right (after), in which the background was changed from a light print to a "darker light" print:

"Rosebud"

Above (before) and right (after), and yes it is the same block pattern!  Isn't it amazing how color choices can entirely change the look of a block?!?

"West Virginia"

Here's how it looks with the rotated center block.

I decided to change my "London Square,"

and Annie is still deciding what she wants to do.

We discovered an interesting thing when we went to Tillamook last week

and viewed part of the antique quilt collection at the Latimer Quilt and Textile Center.

Apparently pinks didn't really come into use until the 1880s.

So.  I feel good about ousting the pink in this block

And, here is the design wall with the current placement of the blocks we have finished.

We have another work day planned for this week, so we'll see where we get then!
