This is where I am on the project as of last night. I rearranged blocks and made three new blocks. The oranges in the pale blocks in the center are way more subtle in real life. The camera seems to want to emphasize them. I have several blocks that I may remove and make replacements for them as well as making the last 5 blocks.
I just want to recap some information for the people who just happened upon my blog and don't know they can just read the previous posts from the past week to see my progress from the beginning and for the no reply commenters that are asking questions.
1. This block is Northwind, not corn and beans which is similar but not the same.
2. I'm using my Studio die cutter to cut the triangles, 6" and 3" finished sizes (the size after all seams are sewn).
3. I am using 2 different batik fabrics in each block, no fabric is repeated. With 80 blocks I will have 160 different fabrics. That involves pressing out the fold marks from storage on the shelf, cutting a strip and returning the fabric to the shelf 160 times (and I love doing that).
4. I sew all of my quilts by machine.
