Lyn & Toverly, love your blocks. I have about 10 more to do but I'm running out of ideas for color combos. I seem to be stuck in a "blue" mood. Need to lay them out and check what colors I'm missing. Here are my Nevada & New Hampshire.[ATTACH=CONFIG]484397[/ATTACH]

Toverly and Jan--great job on finishing another block (or two)!

Jan--have you made plans for your blocks yet? Don't let them end up in "the box"!! They are too pretty for that. You can make 2 or maybe even 3 smaller quilts if you don't need/want another big quilt. Do you many green blocks?

janRN

Thank you, Carrie. What block arrangement are you using for your 2 quilts? I'm probably going to make 2; or maybe a big one and a wall hanging. Not sure, but hopefully they won't end up in The Box--it's pretty full right now LOL. I flipped thru my blocks and noticed that I have a lot of blue, purple, green and teal blocks. Not many red or yellow and (to me) the dreaded orange. Better concentrate on those colors.

Here is my New Hampshire for this week, still keeping up, but running out of ideas for fabric placement, why oh why did I work with a limited colour palette, always sounds like a good idea when I start

mirabelle--I like how you did the red with the bit of yellow among all the shades of gray.

Jan--I am planning to do at least one of the quilts on point with sashing...will just need 18 blocks for that one. Then if I do the other 4x5...I am thinking no sashing for this one, just off setting the blocks in each row. I have the coordinating stripe fabric for the "shimmer" line (the butterflies) so will use that for borders.

Hi
I have enjoyed seeing evones blocks this week, Mirabell you had me looking back on what I had done your block looks different with the way you have done all white and just the colour middle, It realy make the red stand out. I know what you mean about colour combintation, I have been cutting and thinking that they are all the same but when they go together they are all so different. I have been putting them in a spreadsheet to keep a easier track n what I have cut.

Jan , Toverly your colours a lovely.

I have 4 more to sew and 4 more to cut and sew, then I can see how much fabric I have left to see how I put it together.

happy sewing everyone.

Mirab, I'm loving your colors. And wishing I'd have done mine that way instead of scrappy. The plan was to use up a lot of my stash; not happening--seems to be growing!

toverly

I'm with janRN, I like the planned colors stars better than my scrappy too! It's going to be interesting pulling all my colors together to get a cohesive look. It's so funny, my stash hasn't gone down either. Love everyone's blocks!

Hi everyone. I did this with the last group. I haven't been on here to look at your beautiful work in some time. Wow the blocks are gorgeous. Any of you guys who are getting frustrated. I was talked in to entering mine in the county fair. It won overall best of show. They all come out so beautiful.

meanmom, I've had a copy of your quilt on my computer as inspiration to keep going! Mine will be scrappy also but I love your dark background. Congratulations on Best of Show!
