Here are a handful of 4.5" blocks that I've made recently.
I just decided within the past two weeks that I'm going to make a hundred twenty or more different 4.5" pieced and appliquéd blocks that depict some of my favorite things and life experiences. I have an appliqué white and gray cat to represent my long time (former) quilting helper, a paper pieced walking shoe, an apple, a block that my late mother-in-law made, etc. I will make blocks that represent July (birthday month) such as an American Flag and an ice cream cone. I may also appliqué a map of my state onto a block, and use some of my favorite traditional pieced blocks too. |
Looking good! Can't wait to see the finished quilt. I bet it will be awesome!
|
Really nice blocks! Keep us posted on your progress!
|
What a novel idea. Sort of like a fabric charm bracelet.

what a wonderful idea and keep track of what each mean that way when you pass down the quilt the person will be able to see what each meant.

Thanks for the nice comments! Here are a few more I've made in the past month: Also, my little kitty wanted me to play with her. She said "Enough of those time consuming blocks. Oh, some have a crinkly sound. I like the crinkly sound"
(Some are paper-pieced, some are appliqued, some are traditional pieced). |
nicely done... can't wait to see the finish
|
What a wonderful idea -- a quilt made up of reminders of various things and times in your life...don't think I'd ever have the patience to do that for myself, and it wouldn't mean a thing to anyone else if I did, probably. But I can't wait to see what your quilt looks like!
|
How very creative! It will be wonderful when finished! :)
|
great idea...there is a story in everything, may as well bring it to life. Very cute so far.
|
Great! I like it. Hope you don't get bored with it before you finish it. Would love to see pics when you are done.
