More Sun-worshipping ... and Auditioning Fabrics

Auditioning Center FabricI'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.

Love the block combos and the fussy cut centers on your sunrise blocks. The yellow stripe is perfect in between those rays.

This is a really interesting quilt. Quite different elements in it but they tie together well.

The 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.
