I've started making the 10 Sunrise blocks for my Mod-Mod (queen size) sampler quilt.I wanted to add some pale yellow into the mix. I pulled out some of the existing blocks to make sure they would all play nicely together. I like the yellow with white stripe, fussy cut into the background between the sun's rays ... now I just need to make five more.
The sun will be set into a white background, but I haven't decided yet what color/fabric I'll use for the small circle in the center. Neither of the centers in the photos feels quite right ... I am thinking a pale gray or a minimalist sun with a white (background fabric) center is the answer.
My plan for a slow-stitch Sunday evening is to hand-appliqué the centers in place on as many sun blocks as I can piece this afternoon.
Have a great stitchy day! Love the beads on a string blocks!

ReplyDeleteWow this is a stunning quilt that you are working on : )
ReplyDeleteLove the block combos and the fussy cut centers on your sunrise blocks. The yellow stripe is perfect in between those rays.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really interesting quilt. Quite different elements in it but they tie together well.
ReplyDeleteThe sampler is looking good. I like the color combinations. I think I like the center on the one with the other blocks best. The stripes are fun.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your block! Your quilt is looking wonderfully mellow.:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks! I love the yellow!
