Design Wall Monday - Primavera

Urban Beads is done and off my design wall.  Piecing a back for it now so I can have it quilted. 

I decided to put my Primavera blocks back up.    I rarely work on this quilt.  Its a really old project (it was a Design Wall Monday post in 2010!).  I want it done and out of my head.  So I decided to not do any more of the applique blocks.  Instead I'm piecing blocks to fill in spaces.  Already made some sawtooth stars. 

 I have to rearrange what I have made so far and then do some math to figure out how much I need to piece.  I also have to do all the embroidered bits to the blocks I have.  Just thinking about it makes me want to pull them all down again!   Focus, Cindy!

Linking to Patchwork Times Design Wall Monday.

Women of the Bible Sampler Blocks 24 - 26

And here are the last 3 that catch me up.  These are all 10 inch blocks too.

Block 24 - Dorcas/Tabitha

Block 25 - Crippled Woman

I completely changed the construction of this block.  Directions called for all half square blocks to make design.  I wanted to eliminate seam lines and some sewing!  This was much faster and it looks the same.  And it allowed me to fussy cut that center.  

Block 26 - Mary Magdalene

Huge shot of color with this one.  Not sure what I'll think when I lay it out with the rest of the blocks.  I may end up remaking this one.

I've stopped taking the blocks out to arrange and choose fabric/colors.  Handling every two weeks was starting to cause more fraying than I want.  So now I'm relying on coloring a black & white pic of the final layout.  Its not perfect but its better than nothing.

Women of the Bible Samper Blocks 21 - 23

I can't believe how far behind I am in posting pics of my sampler blocks. I thought it was just the latest two but I have 6 to show!    Gonna break that up into two posts.  Just cuz.  :)

Block 21 - Hannah

There wasn't much orange in the fat quarter set of Mimosa fabrics I bought. I debated using them as I don't love the shade of orange. But then I thought what else was I going to do with them.  As busy as this quilt is going to be I think they will meld nicely into the whole picture.  I also changed fabric placement again....making the background light rather than dark.

Block 22 - Delilah

Block 23 - Shiprah & Puah

All three of these blocks are 10 inches finished.  

More tomorrow.  :)
