Whew! Every which way but right way down to the last seam of EM. Doris was a sweet one to do. So happy Em is done, too.

Love your blocks, QNS. Doris is almost Christmasy and Em very pretty. Thanks for your compliments on my color choices--that's the hardest part of quilting for me. I'm pretty confident in my sewing/piecing--but picking colors takes me longer than making the whole block. And I'm still not always happy with my choices. That's why I like these quilt alongs--it's nice to get someone else's thoughts and encouragement.

Thank you JanRN for your kind words. the photos changed some colors in Em, the 'pink' looks red in the photo, but so be it. It is done.
The storm never came in like they predicted, but we did get rain no hail no tornado here Any body else have Doris and Em ready to show?

Jan I love your batik choices. I would never trust myself to do an all batik quilt. All my colors would be dark. But yours are bright and I like the purples. I like how the white square almost looks 3 dimensional on Em. QNS your Doris does look Christmasy, love it!

What a nice variety of fabrics...Will we ever get over our amazement at how different the blocks look with our fabric choices. Must say the umbrellas are sew cute.
Dare not use an umbrella today...gusty wind blowing through..Work today...have a good one

I was beginning to doubt whether I'd ever finish Em. Whew! Not the most difficult so far, but certainly the most time consuming. Such pretty fabric in everyone's blocks this week. I think I have some scraps of that umbrella fabric somewhere. It's in the quilt on the guest bed, so I must still have some tucked away.
