Betacarotin Top done


I am well pleased how this turned out. When I made the last couple of blocks I thought it was all going to be one big orange blob with no value changes, but thanks to some yellows and reds it does not look too bad. As for the top name, well have a look at the close up - photorealistic carrotts. So I started thinking about pumpkins and other orange fruits and vegetables and that is when the common denominator came to mind: betacarotin. This means that the wild brother's top is done and next is the blue one for the older brother.

Brothers' Blocks done and new project

I have finally finished all my blocks for the two brothers quilts, so will start the laying out and sewing together shortly. First however as the season is coming up, I have been inspired by Garden Fence and had to try it for myself. The contrast for the fence is not quite as strong as I would have liked, but it will be a little 9 block seasonal hanging (on point if I can figure out how to hang it), so I regard it as learning experience. The fabric is all stash and has been for ages, so I am happy to find a home for (some) of it.
