Such precise piecing, Anael. Love your whites with the scrappy fabrics.

Oh Sew Niiiiiiiiiiice! :D

Quilting Nonnie 06-03-2012 07:42 PM

Very, very pretty. Love the contrast in the last one.

Anael 06-04-2012 09:46 PM

Thank you ladies :D

Nicky...welcome. Such a nice introduction you've given us of your work. Beautiful blocks.

Anael...I've been missing you! I really like your blocks.

OMH! I am so glad to see people still working on these! I started when everyone else did, but dropped aaround here. I am picking them back up and I AM GOING TO FINISH IT!!! I had started these two, but I scrapped them and cut new ones last night. When I get them sewn, I will post them.

Nicky, you are most definitely not the last! I will be right along withh you. And we get an advantage seeing everyone's blocks,tips and suggestions. I think I am not going to stick to 2 blocks a week, though. I would like to get it done faster, and I am not working, so I am going to work on them as I can. I will do at least 2, thhough. I love you 11 7 12! Your piecing looks so precise!

Anael those are awesome! I wish mine looked half as good!

So, is it just us 3? who else wants to join us? the more the merrier!

Very pretty! You are motivating me to start making these again! I am at #18 or so.

Hi Stef, thanks for your encouragement. I need to start working on these again, but have been working on about five different projects!

:o Thank you! I won't be doing any blocks in the next few weeks as I'm off to France Sunday night and will be back June 24th. I still have to do some BOM's, maybe I'll manage those before I leave.

QuiltingNinaSue 06-05-2012 04:07 PM

Have fun in France; love your color combinations and how well you do each block. High scores for each of them.

oksewglad 06-05-2012 04:08 PM

Have a good trip, we will know why you are missing from FWS and PC. G

I got these 2 finished, just need to square them a bit. Going to make a few more today and post pics. Are you posting them in the threads they go in? Thats what Im going to do.

Anael 06-06-2012 08:35 AM

Thank you NinaSue! I'm doing the best I can :D

No, I'm not planning on buying fabric there because I never saw quilt shops where we are staying. I would have to do a search for them, maybe I will!

gardnergal970 06-06-2012 01:26 PM

Stefanib...I worked on the FWQ last fall and have about 30 to go. That was before I was even on the QB. I guess I need to take a few pictures and post what I can. I have two quilts to finish the binding on and enough other projects to keep me busy and hadn't planned to pick up this PUP for awhile. Posting what I have done will keep me accountable and be the push I need to keep it active.

Here are mine for week 6. Finally getting them posted[ATTACH=CONFIG]340685[/ATTACH]

Lovely gardnergal!

Quilting Nonnie 06-08-2012 01:56 PM

Love all the rust and gold you are using. I have been collecting rust colored fabrics for quite a few years. I'm getting closer and closer to having enough for a quilt. I keep switching from one pattern to another. Haven't decided yet.

oksewglad 06-08-2012 03:37 PM

Oh yes I like it too QNonnie and she sneaks in a soft blue/ taupe combo and then a dash of cheddar. This will be such a lovely quilt.

QuiltE 06-08-2012 06:51 PM

GGal ... oh so nice!


All who are working on FWS
... I'm SO happy for all of you, that you have several working on this together right now. We're all here to help with the oohs and aaahs and with encouragement along the way. Though I know it's fun and provides a different level of motivation to see other doing blocks and posting along with you!!

So keep at it, All ... we're here as your Cheerleaders!

gardnergal970 06-09-2012 04:45 AM

Thanks, ladies. The colors aren't completely accurate but IRL they do go together
