BLOCKS OF THE MONTH - 1st of the Month, 2011
#651
Hi Nicky..........I think the three of us were all on the same wave length today, as I was working on mine too!! The pattern of the quilt from MCCall's, is called America the Beautiful. It came in 6 parts, of 6 different issues of the McCalls magazine. I only have the last part 6 issue & it is dated November/December 2011, Volume 18 No.6. It is called McCall's Quilting the Best of American Quiting. I hope this is of some help to you. Please be sure to post pictures of your house quilt when it is finished, okay?

Nicky and Sulabug,
Thanks for the kind words.
Nicky, here is a picture of the quilt: http://www.mccallsquilting.com/articles/America
Actually, I planned the quilt row by row, my house blocks were all different sizes, as I didn't try to make them all the same size as I made them, so I would pick a house or two and then make blocks to make it the size I wanted, on to the second, third etc until I ran out of house blocks,lol. I really liked the mountain scene from the magazine, and the bottom "fields" so made those to go in my quilt. Hope this helps you. A lot of math scribbling was involved, lol.
Thanks for the kind words.

I also have a mountain scene, made from 3 identical 6" blocks from Carol Doak. Oh boy this is STILL so much fun!

Nicky........I love your Teepee pattern, it's wonderful. Would you mind telling me where you got this pattern? I just happen to live in the Yakama Indian Nation, not on the reservation, but pretty close. That would make a great block to go with the rest of mine too. All of my blocks are also 12 1/2" & I need to make a couple more. You are so right, this project is still tons of fun!!
