Meanmom those are some lovely blocks - they are going to look great in a finished quilt.
Vintage Nice bright colors you chose. I like the way they look together! |
Thanks for all the compliments. I am very happy with how they are coming out. I never thought of putting flamingos in my florida block. I love flamingos. I have a collection of flamingo fabrics just waiting for the right project to come along. I just might have to redo Florida. My guest bathroom is done up in flamingos.

Nicky, Re: your idea of pink flamingos. That would have been a fun fabric quest, to make each star with something to do with the State.

Hi Vintagemotif, your block is very pretty and gay. I was wishing I had some Pink Flamingo fabric for my Florida block!

in case anyone wanted to know the state colors (not flag colors) ... not all states have official colors http://www.americanflags.com/statefl...FUlntgod6Czh-w here's the flags if you want to see the colors for them |

Still no Florida from me this week....made this instead for a friend at the LQS...she wouldn't hush about my purse but didn't want to make a "da*n" purse herself (although she make unreal quilt tops) -- so I made a Bow Tuck for her and a little zipper pouch just to hush her up.:D Guess I'll be busy next week making 2 blocks.

Very pretty! You can make one for me anytime!

Moonwork, love that purse. Good job. You may have started something.

I love looking at all these blocks. They are so pretty. Seeing all nine together is fantastic. I really am working on mine. 2 finished and 2 almost finished. Have just about given up thinking I can catch up, but will sew on!
