First pic is of the new blocks.

Second is of a wall hanging lay-out--it will be a gift for a neighbor.

Third is of one doll quilt and looks like I need to make more blocks to finish more. :D I have over 40 more blocks started, but finishing 12 at a time is more fun. I keep collecting fabric for these because I plan to make them between projects for as long as I can.

I'll get the tops done, then I may start that floral Bargello before completing more of these blocks.

You absolutely took my breathe away with these. Wonderful!

With strips so narrow, those have got to be really teeny, tiny floral prints! So pretty though, I can see why collecting them takes awhile, & you have to look everywhere you go for them!

Every post and thread I read about these just makes me smile and smile and pat myself on the back. And the little kid in me is just chanting "neener neener, it's all MINE!" I guess I should be ashamed. But I'm not!

:lol: :lol: :mrgreen:

I'm shocked these get so much attention. But I like it.... :wink:

Actually, I like small prints, but many medium prints work well too. I always look at an inch of the print and make a judgement. Sometimes it's the color I want and the actual flower can be in partial form. :-D

No reason feel ashamed, on the contrary, feel proud of your accomplishments & enjoy your work & designs to the fullest! And just think, since you are sharing here, we can all do the same, if we are so inclined! Love it!...
