The FWS Pony Club Quilt-Along 45 Block (Halfway) Milestone
 

It's "Time" for all you show off's to do some showing off!!! Isn't it incredible???? we're still plugging away at these blocks...Aren't we a great group of gals???? I'm starting to think about sashing for the blocks I have done and cannot figure out what color I'm going to use...I'll have to take my blocks to the quilt shop and take a look see. Anyway...I'm anxious to see your "works in progress". H.

Me, too. Love seeing all the lovely blocks. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.:o

OK it looks like I am going to be the first.
First pic if Rows 1 to 5 and the second is rows 6 to 10.
I couldn't fit them all in :o
I have started sewing my sashing on and using Laurie's layout plan I have started to sew blocks together. I also auditioned my cornerstone fabric, tiny stars on pale blue and I am happy with it.
Hope you like them..

Just looking at them I can't tell if I have too much of any one fabric so please feel free to let me know if one fabric is jumping out at you:eek: I see a lot of red but I also see the dark blue

Lovely!! Wonderful!! I am green with envy...(not quite green yet, since I have had no time to work on last week's and this week's!!) Great job!!

Oh I love them! I think the reds & blue look balanced especially with the sashing you've chosen. How different they look all together like that.
I think my sashing is the same color as yours; will try to post later today.
Beautiful, beautiful work!!!

Mirabelle, I'm impressed!!! All 46 blocks....with the sashing no less! H.

Thank you everyone, without this group and all the wonderful encouragement we receive I never would have made either the FWS or the Pony Club quilt..

Thank you QuiltE, now where are all the others???? I need eye candy:D

Here's a not-very-good pic of my first 45. I have them on a sheet in the front yard and the grass is very lumpy. Like Mirab said, please let me know what colors I'm lacking. (Other than yellow which I will force myself to use.)[ATTACH=CONFIG]343564[/ATTACH]

Beautiful. I love it.

Wow!!! another with all the blocks up to date!!!! I'm jealous!!! Yes, Yellow, I like the coral color too!

Here's my next 15. I don't have room to lay them all out and the color is really off but I do have them done. As you can see I need to make up some more sashing but that will be next week. I got the wrong picture the first time so here are 16 through 45.

Great combination of colors, Ggal--they all work together. I think you & I had the same concerns about mixing novelty fabrics and "normal" fabrics. But it works doesn't it? I think all laid out like that shows how a quilt is a sum of it's parts--the individual blocks combine to make the final product. Very nice job.

mirabelle, your blocks look just beautiful all together. But I agree with you, I see lots of red, especially in the 2nd picture, 3rd row. They'd look nice spread amongst the others maybe but I'm no expert.

JanRN, just beautiful!!!! The colors look balanced to me.

gardnergal, really lovely seeing all your blocks together. The sashing and cornerstones look great!!

[QUOTE=QuiltE;5307361]JeanieG ... So wonderful! YOur brown sashings are a perfect pony colour! Are you using cornerstones or keeping it all to brown? I like the looks of your non-pony PC blocks on the design wall, so what about white sashings? A month's holiday ... wow!!!!!!!!! Will this be with your camping group entourage? .... do you ever get to check out LQS' when you're away? Have fun ... we'll miss you!

I am thinking black or dark brown cornerstones. I had some black squares, but could not locate them, I had stuck them up earlier.

Yes, I kind of like the white also, maybe go with a cream - white seems so harsh to me, for the other quilt.

We are traveling for around 8 days with our friends, who are also in our camping group. We travel with them a lot. Then they are returning home, and we are going on to Toppenish, WA, where I have a grandson to visit. Then over to Whidbey Island, WA where our best friends live on 3 1/2 acres. They have a spot with full hookups for our motorhome, so we usually stay a couple of weeks with them. Then we will head back to California.

We will have WIFI quite often during our trip, so should be able to keep up on the Board. My friend and I always go shopping for fabric when I am there. There is a wonderful fabric shop in Annacortes, that I purchased a lot of my Pony fabric last year.

I always take my little light weight Brother machine for piecing, so hope to stay caught up on my blocks. The problem will be with the fabric, I'll take the box I have all the Pony fabric in, but I often open my dresser that has all my smaller pieces to pull others for the blocks. Can't take the dresser - LOL! I also have some other projects that I can work on that I am taking along.

We are leaving next Wednesday.

Jeanie, I like the idea of 2 quilts. And I love all the blocks and colors you've chosen. Have a great time on your trip!

OOOOOooooooooOOOOOOOOOoooooooooOOOOOOHHHHHHhhhhhhh hh
PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY

JeanieG, Your blocks look great together!!! I like the sashing for your PC quilt. You're going to have 2 beautiful quilts. I hope you have a great time on your trip.

Finally made it.

GrannyQ..I must have missed some of your earlier blocks. What a wonderful creation you have made with all of those blues. Stunning!

I love it GrannyQ-you have such great contrast in your blocks. Love all the shades of blue you've used. I can't wait to see it all done. Have you decided on the color for your sashing?

GrannyQ! those are BEAUtiful :D lovely lovely quilt in the making!

I cant wait to get mine laid out and take a picture :D

Very nice; makes me wish I could catch up and take a picture of my 45. Meanwhile, I love the eye 'candy' . Great job.

GrannyQ, how beautiful all your blocks look together. You're going to have a stunning quilt!!!!
