Had an afternoon this time, so made some components to finish the "Posey Patch" pieced blocks:
This unit combines squares and triangles to surround the centers that I've already made...
I really like the way this is going to look in the quilt!
I laid everything out on the floor and then transported one block at a time to the sewing machine. This is a pretty big finished block, 16", so I used my 18" x 24" cutting mat to move the pieces. I use this method a lot when it is important not to get things mixed up.

After making 20 of the pink and burgundy units and 20 tan and cream four patches, the blocks are ready to be sewn together. I used several different tan fabrics in the four patches and wanted the various prints distributed through the quilt top, so didn't run the risk of mixing them up during the block piecing.

And definitely a wedding! My last wedding pictures turned out awful, but maybe I'll have better luck this time....
