Little Brother

 

After my pieces were all cut I had to see what they looked like, so I paired up a few and sewed them up.

I threw them up on the design wall, and it's clear this is going to work.

I took my Mom out shopping and then we had lunch. I showed her this quilt and when I said I wanted this quilt to relate to the Partly Sunny quilt she commented, "Like the new quilt is the little brother, right?"

Thanks Mom, for naming the new quilt.

Partly Sunny - Partly Cloudy

Here are my golden yellow blocks.

Julie gave me a boxful of grays, and I added these from my own stash. I waned a few grays that had some extra colors in them. One of the things that makes Julie's Partly Sunny quilt so special is her use of a wide variety of grays - lights, medium and darks. So I made sure to add some light grays and some dark grays.

Here I have randomly set out the gray blocks on top of the yellows just to see if I have an equal (or close)   number of yellows and grays.

Next up: I get to play matchmaker!!
