Bargello center progress

So i've fiddled around with the fabric choices from before (purchased online so things tend to be a bit differenc once they arrive)and pulled some and inserted some and moved some into a different order and i have come up with these! ignore the socks and the charging cellphone please
the fabric all the awy to the left and the one all the way to the right are the same fabric an dthis is what they will "touch" in the wrap for the bargello strips.

instead of the original (smaller pic) on the right which i think looks like that because the flash might not have gone off?
and below, just for someone one who shall not be pointed out (?) there is a monochrome pic for value.  I really want to work in a rainbow color order and i tried to break up the layout some with some light lights and a couple of dark darks! so here is the monochrome/value pic for you Q.  oops! snickering

and here is the link to a bargello "look" I like and think I will adapt the pattern in the magazine to have these breaker bits in it as seen here

Great news!

so I can officially announce that I'm going to be a grandmother again! My oldest son and his wife are pregnant!

This will be my 2nd and 3rd :)

yuppers twins! so the lovely bargello center fabric in the post below is for their special quilts.

I plan to make each center the same but the borders will be different. One using a portion of this pattern found here

and the other using these fish for the border found here

mom is into dots and ladybugs and dad loves to fish (like his mom!)

so that is my very happy news for these days.

enjoy the thought process of what I'll be making from these fabrics and patterns.
