It seems to me I have alot of roses in my fabrics...everytime I go looking in my piles (this really is a scrappy quilt) I come up with roses. Whenever I went to the scrap bins in the quilt shops I guess I picked out alot of roses :-D :-D

Here are my blocks 75 & 76. The purples in the Sawtooth are so much prettier than in the photo. I like how both of them turned out!

My those blocks turned out big! I did them their usual size but they look huge. Maybe it's the new website. (Always nice to have something to blame it on! tee hee)

They sure are big on the screen, aren't they? .... I can't even get one of them on my screen all at once!
All the better for us to enjoy!

I sure to like your fabric choices and ITA with OKSewGlad, not sure which one I like best.

Ladies, are these Civil War fabrics too?

Here I am again, Ladies, with mine completed, at last!

I smiled when I saw MiraBelle's Easter Greetings to all ... and here it is New Year's Day. It also made me wonder, how much the season/weather influenced many of your fabric choices. Spring and Easter seemed to show thru on many of the blocks. Lovely work, Ladies.

84 done .... 27 to go!

#75 ... Rosebud ... mine isn't quite so rosey and pretty. When I stash shopped, I just wasn't pleased with what I had to make it a real pretty rosey showing. So went a little more subdued.
and
#76 ... Sawtooth ... not that it has anything to do with "saw teeth", I'm working a little on getting fabrics in now, to help blend with the sashing/cornerstones I'm likely to use.

You're reallying churning them out, Quilt E! Your flower basket is beautiful. I love the flowered fabric. You are doing a wonderful job of piecing. All your blocks look excellent. Are you pp?

What differing intensities in these two blocks! Amazing how the sashing brightens the Rosebud while it subdues the Sawtooth. These two will be blocks that you will switch around in the mix as you try to brighten one area of the quilt or calm another area down.
Question--Another QB is making FWS on the sly (I'll get her to post them, as I've picked up persuasive tactics from QE HAHA). She wants to know where the PP directions come from--are they on the Yahoo group forum?
