Great results from your week. I love the OBWs, but the book puts them togethers with straight, not Y seams, which are so much easier, I would do them with straight seams. The fabric you've used has some lovely colour ways in. You all got so much done, very rewarding. I would love to have a go at a bargello.

{/quote} This tumbling blocks pattern is a bunch of fabric tubes WOVEN into the tumbling blocks pattern. You assemble it on a piece of styrofoam. Turning the tubes inside out was tedious and I gave up and didn't make mine reversable like the patterns suggested.

Holy cow! That's even harder than regular tumbling blocks which I'm too intimidated to try.

I just finished making some fall centerpieces of large 6 piece octagons. They are so simple if you sew 3 triangles together and then the other 3 and then match the center seam --a nice centerpiece. Trying to figure out how to send the image with the note..someone want to walk me thru it. Is it from a picture file, scanner or camera or what? Sorry I'm new to this ...

Wow, you guys sure accomplished a lot! Lots of beautiful projects.

Excellent job! Isn't it fun to sew together?

Sure was and I am so grateful for Katrine who mentioned that the blocks could be assembled with straight line sewing. I looked at the book again and she was right! That will really cut down on the aggravation factor of Y seams... AFTER I rip them all apart!

That looks like you all had so much fun. And you got some beautiful quilts out of it too. Great job on all of them.

busy as a bee. you are so lucky to have sister's that love to quilt with you. :D the quilts you made are very pretty. you need a few more sister's week.

Hey what fun you had! I love those bargellos and the OBWs especially (glad Katrine sorted you out with the Y seams - hope you don't have to do too much ripping!) Can I be your sister and come next time? :mrgreen: :lol:
