Once all 35 WOF pairs were pressed, it was time to make a decision on Abendrot's design.
I have always loved the Candy Coated design from Amanda Jean Nyberg's book Sunday Morning Quilts.
So much so that I've made two scrappy quilts using that design - Metamorphosis and Groundhog Day.
Now Abendrot will be the third.
Step one was to calculate the sub-cut length - after some time with the calculator I decided to go with 8.5" (8" finished) segments.
Step two was to sort all those segments onto nine plates in order to evenly distribute the fabrics amongst the rows.
I have at least 2 extra segments on each plate so I'll be able to edit as I stitch each row.
Once the rows are created, I'll arrange them on the design wall.
I'm not in any particular hurry to get Abendrot done (which is a good thing) but I do want to get the first row sewn to satisfy my own curiosity.

Nice work getting all this ready to sew into strips...you have found a good way to distribute colors:))) Your plates work in so many ways for you;)))
Hugs, Julierose
I like the pattern and the color on this one. Will be watching for progress.
Love these happy sunshine fabrics and am pleased to say I've just put "Sunday Morning Quilts" on hold at my library!!
'Abendrot' will be an antidote to gloomy days. :)
Hugs!
The color palette on this one is going to be a game changer for the quilt design look. It will pull together value and color wise in an interesting way. I went down the rabbit hole and looked at all the links. Thanks for including them.
Have fun with that, Julie! I put together a purple one in October. I altered the row heights to suit the scrappy strips being used and turned one small section to run horizontally, avoiding additional cutting.
"Satisfy curiosity" -- that happens to me all the time. I make a few units, then make the blocks, then put them on the design wall because I am impatient to see how they go together!
I've always liked this particular pattern from Sunday Morning Quilts, your yellow colour palette is beautiful.
