The FWS 30's Quilt-Along Week 9 Block #17 Bride & Block #18 Carol
 

Hi Everyone, Week 9 and time to have a show & tell of Bride & Carol

I'm not sure if I'll have access to the internet at the guest house that's why I'm posting tonite..

Bride was a bear to sew and Carol was a pain..Maybe because I rushed to get them done..Carol is a little wonky and the middle of Bride is off.. but they are done, done, done....

Yours look great, Honchey. Nosegay gave me problems, but they are what they are. Nosegay was carried in Victorian Days to hide their body odors from not bathing..brides picked up on the idea and carried spray of flowers with them. [ATTACH=CONFIG]532059[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]532060[/ATTACH]

These look wonderful! I haven't started yet but have been collecting my 30's together in one place. I had many more prints than I thought at first. While I was cleaning and looking for more 30's I came across a full box (plastic) of 30's! I've had to buy more solid colors and before this is finished I will probably have to buy more. Will be posting soon....

Sorry, the second block is for next week, not this week! the correct block is Block 18 Carol...[ATTACH=CONFIG]532063[/ATTACH]

Such bright pretty colors!

Beautiful blocks Honchey and NS. I will start my two today. I think I will use a piece of your gorgeous fabric NS.

In those days, people bath themselves once a year and not a good bath either...every one would get in the same water, the baby would be the last one and the water would be black by then. It's a small wonder people were dying like flies of disease in those days. The saying, "don't throw the baby out with the bath water" as the water was so black that you could very well do that.

The bride would bath in June before the wedding lol.....

Oooohhhh! They're flowers! All I could see was a weird looking partial star. I was so uninspired this week, I didn't make mine yet. Seeing others popping up is giving me some ideas. :)

Here is my 18...it is the only one I did for this week:

Anne, have a fun trip. Ladies, love the bright and cheery blocks for this week and they're all so well done. Any PC riders remember my donkey friends?[ATTACH=CONFIG]532067[/ATTACH]

Jan...nice of you to let your ponies make an appearance in this "ride" too. :) Great fussy cutting and the brown batik matches perfectly.
