Here's Martha and Margaret. For Margaret, I didn't want to make another star-- so I sewed the triangles into squares, and the squares into rows, then I sewed the top two rows together and the bottom two rows together, but instead of sewing the center seam as in the pattern, I sewed the bottom seam allowance to the top seam allowance and made that the center seam. But, after I made it, then I thought, well.... maybe I'll make the pattern again and make it the way in the book!

Great blocks, ladies. Givio, I like your creativity--I have a couple blocks I changed out. Like you, I thought there are a lot of stars so one I changed to a heart and another one to a basket. I like the beige background fabric in Martha--do you know the line?

The beige, rust, and black prints are all Kansas Troubles fabrics by Moda. They seem to produce different prints in different collections, as I noticed there are Kansas Troubles fabrics under specific names. I think the main thing about them is they use little calicos and small designs in burgundy, navy blue, dark pine/olive green, rusts, browns, and various dark beiges. This web site shows some collections-- http://www.ktquilts.com/shop/KT-Fabric-Collections.htm The KT fabrics have great contrast. There are definite darks, mediums, and lights.

The prints I've used were from my local quilt shop two years ago, so maybe they are out of print. They offered a Block of the Month program, where I bought a kit with scraps to make a 12" block in January. In February, I brought in the block I sewed to show them, then they gave another baggie with scraps and a pattern for that month, and so on. I never bought yardage. I've just finished the quilt top using what I had. I have very little bits and pieces leftover. I'd offer to send you some of this print, but it's all gone now. However, if you like this style, there surely is a lot of fabric available in the KT line.

Where are the rest of your blocks located?

Bettia, the pictures of the blocks we made are all posted on the thread that was made each week for them. You can simply scroll down the list of threads here to find the previous weeks posted.

If you want to make these blocks too, you are welcome to post your pictures of your blocks each week with us and join in the fun!

QNS, loooove your individual fabrics and your combination of them that you used, along with how you placed your pattern pieces for Margaret! I like the octagon look you achieved. :-)

JuneBillie 03-21-2016 09:09 PM

Givio all of your blocks are so pretty. I like the way you know how to change things around if you decide too.

QuiltingNinaSue your blocks are very creative and striking colors. Both are very pretty.

givio 03-22-2016 07:41 PM

Thank you, Susan. I love to see what everyone is doing. It's so fun to do this project with others, isn't it? :-)

Love your colors, JeanieG! I think this project lends itself to more color than the other two books did; love everyone's use of color in each block, so unique from each of us, yet all are based on the same block each time. So who will finish in a timely matter? Time will tell us. I hope I can finish in less than the time it took me to finish the PC project.

JuneBillie 04-16-2016 06:05 AM

JeanieG those blocks are just so pretty. Your colors are so nice.

What a contrast to the one pictured below it. Yup! It's a bright one, alright!
