    gorgeous blocks, makes me want to start another

    Quilter starts on mine the May 1st, I'm trying out the new (or new to me anyway) Pellon cotton batting, feels like warm and natural. She is going to use a pantograph with swirls and stars.

    before and after of my stack of greens attached. I used 7.5 yards of the background fabric.
    Just the greens were taller than my 6600. Afterward the were clear down by the tensioner.

    I used a ton of the green all up, but gained in the pinks courtesy of some good frends

    Kalama that will be a great quilt! Thanks Barb for posting what is due when. I'm working them ahead so I don't lose momentum. I usually lose it during the summer months, too much going on. I love, love, love looking at everyones blocks! Even if you aren't on the same week, post what you've done. It's fun to look and see how everyone interprets them. I'm in that phase now of what colors to pull next. Here is mine for this week.Kentucky[ATTACH=CONFIG]473383[/ATTACH]

    Barb--I am sure I will still be working on these next year. Maybe I will just start on the May blocks so that in January we can work together. I only have one block completely finished...due to shoulder pain in January I wasn't able to start like I wanted to then!

    Maybe I'll join you people next year too. I'm only working on my 9th block. When I finish that one, I think I'll jump ahead to May too. Sounds like a plan!!!

    Such a beautiful selection of fabrics KalamaQuilts, can't wait to see your finished quilt. Such a creative way of bringing all those blocks together in one cohesive quilt, well done

    Beautiful fabric....greens I love them!

    I am not blind yet, as the optic nerve swelling has gone down a bit, so there is hope yet. Nor am I ready to jump back into action, but I am getting back into action in the quilting room. Sooooo much to do, sooo many projects. I am following all of you along, cheering all the way. On my recent Quilt Bus Trip of two days and four states, I picked up more fabric and projects....so much fun and laughter. Loved every minute of it. Enjoy this quilt project journey.

    I am still here as well but wow did my schedule get shaken up, lol. My teen age girls have me out 4 day a week with sports and my mom decided on a whim she would move back to Texas from Florida and had to stay with us for a few weeks while she found an apartment and got settled. Anyway, I know I am a bit behind but here are they are thru Indiana.
