JanRN, Your blocks are so beautiful. I love the hot pink but the blue one is so so soft and pretty.

Pretty blocks everyone, it doesn't seem like it's been 40 weeks tho. It has been very addictive.

You quilters have really done an outstanding job this week. I thought block 79 Silver Lane was tough. I like the way Deranged Damsel arranged your fabrics in Silver Lane. Honchey, Jan RN, Weezie, Quilting Nina Sue all have beautiful blocks too.
Everyone, keep up the good work.

janRN 05-04-2011 08:32 AM

Wow-what great blocks everyone. We all used such different fabrics; I love them all. 40 weeks???

Me too auntjo! The two blocks a week are just perfect. I have not gotten bored at all, I guess because they all are different and you are not repeating the same one over and over. I was showing my siblings my lap quilt for my hubby that is 1/2 of this and they thought it was just beautiful.

Hi Quilt Queen
We are all making the Farmers Wife Sampler Quilt by Laurie Aaron Hird. You can join in if you wish, we make two blocks every week and are up to blocks 79 and 80 (there are 111). You must have the book for the patterns though. Hope this has helped..

I know this is off-topic - but to my quilting family on this journey, I'll be taking a short break. My dear husband passed away suddenly & quite unexpectedly yesterday afternoon. Will be back when the dust settles and I really need something comforting to help me keep my sanity.

Give your loved ones a hug this morning...

janRN 05-07-2011 08:06 AM

Auntjo I'm so sorry!! Prayers and hugs and warm thoughts are coming your way. Take care of yourself and let us know what we can do to help you. Sincere condolences.

deranged_damsel 05-07-2011 08:21 AM

I am so sorry Aunt Jo
God bless you

weezie 05-07-2011 11:53 AM

My condolences to you & family, auntjo. You will be in my thoughts & prayers.

Honchey 05-07-2011 01:43 PM

Auntjo, So sorry for your loss--Anne

mirabelle 05-07-2011 03:27 PM

Auntjo my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time. Sending you a hug from across the ocean.

grannyQ 05-07-2011 05:32 PM

Auntjo, my prayers and thought are also with you and your family.

rwquilts 05-08-2011 08:12 AM

AuntJo, I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am for your loss! Please know that we will be here when you're ready to come back. Prayers and hugs coming your way!

Evie 05-08-2011 01:34 PM

AuntJo, my condolences to you and your family and lots of hugs. I know the feeling, and hugs helped a lot!

laurieaaron 05-09-2011 08:33 PM

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It must be so difficult for you and your family. :(

Abigail's Mimi 05-10-2011 04:53 PM

Yay!! It's Christmas vacation! Today is my first day off...and I'm quilting. All day. Every day I can all through break. Of course, FW is my priority. I have about 21 more blocks to go. I'm hoping to get 15 done by Jan. 9. I'm being very conservative because I have other fun stuff too!

I loved looking through all of your blocks to help me decide what fabrics to use. As you can see Jeanne that I loved you color selection too!

Here are the two I finished today, so far.
