Wedding Bento: update on rows three and four

With so little available time in the evenings, I have to make a choice between blogging and sewing and this week, I went for sewing. Above is the last brown block for which I had to cut fabric. Now I will start composing from the fabric I've already cut and put in a little basket. (More on that this weekend.)



These are the final two orange and green blocks for which fabric was cut.



These are the four most recent blocks to go together for rows three and four.



This is a detail of one of the brown blocks. I try to contrast the fabric designs when I compose. Not only light and dark, but traditional with modern or geometric with floral. I think it adds a richness to the block.



Here's a detail of one of the green blocks. This quilt will have something like 96 different green fabrics, 56 different browns, and 48 different oranges. Coach Fisher is out for Battle of the Books practice.

Wedding Bento progress: I still don't have enough orange fabric!

Most of Sunday was spent in Safety Pin Studio working on the wedding bento. Above a new section of blocks is pictured.



I also cleared everything else off my work table to make room for the fabrics. They are arranged in color families from light to dark values.



As I compose each block, I cut two sets of each fabric--one for the outside of a square and one for the inside. And even though each fabric will be used twice and there will be half as many orange blocks as green ones, I still don't have enough orange fabric! I suppose I shouldn't complain about needed to go fabric shopping.
