Oh so bright! I love the contrast! I didn't do the basket either 'cause it didn't go with my fabric, or my fabric didn't go with it. :) So I did a substitute. We each do what we want for our own quilts. I love this board!
|
Nice Betty block fryguym. What block are you going to make for a substitute if you need it?

Better late than never. Here is my Betty's Delight. I didn't make the other block because I know it would bug me to have the basket on it's side.
I love the squirrel video, I think I'll fill my bird feeders so I can watch the squirrels :) |
Thanks.
I have decided to make a block called Basket Puzzle to replace the basket. I did make the quilt in my avatar. I think it was the most fun thing I have ever made. It was a gift for someone very dear to me. I made it with a lot of help them the members on the site. Here is a close up of it: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...e-t128868.html You have to click on the above words to see it :) |

Here's another block done! Betty's Delight and 5 more to catch up! Glad folks like the squirrels![ATTACH=CONFIG]316724[/ATTACH]
|
Oh pretty ... and just a hint of blue hiding there in those flowers.
Betty would be very Delighted with your work, OKSGlad! I counted mine tonight ... 5 go as well, to catch up!! I haven't posted all that are done as a lot aren't in pairs! I think I'll try to get one more done, to make a pair and post it before I get back into FWS mode!!! :) |
You blocks are all awesome but where is the letter that is usualy with them? LOL I didn't join the group because I knew I couldn't keep up but I have been following along with you guys and have really enjoyed seeing your blocks. Thank you for sharing these.

Betty62 what I find is I try to keep up with the current week (I say try) and then back track to get others done, I started late and got behind so now have 4 blocks left as I'm going to post another tonight. Thanks for the kind words, too. We all appreciate hearing them.
|
OK - Your block is so warm! Nice lovely points. I Love it!
Betty - Could you do 1 a week? What about 1 every-other week? You could catch up latter, or just make 'em at your own pace. Come on & join, show us your lovely blocks! (See I already am anticipating your making 'em!) |
Great contrast in your block oksewglad!
|
Oksewglad, I like your block and fabrics. Are those more Kansas Troubles?
|
OK...great block.
Betty...do one a week and have a lap quilt. With this gang, it's hard to stay one the sidelines. They are all so encouraging. |

Oh that dark blue and yellow/gold color are wonderful together QuiltE! Great basket too!
|
Oh, oh, oh such great blocks! They'er so pretty! How did ya git 'em done so fast???
|
JeanieG ... I thought that blue and gold was a real cowboy fabric ... on sale at my LQS when I bought it. And yes gold/bling!!
DublB ... don't kid yourself, I really have not been that fast! I had one in each pair done, some time ago, and hadn't posted them. And the Apple Tree had been done for a while, just that I hadn't photo'd the pair. The other way I can be fast .... Remember, I don't have a life!!!! Plus I promised myself that this weekend was all about quality time with my sewing machine! :) |
QuiltE....I really like your Betty's Delight block. Great contrast.
Question: For those who didn't do the basket block what did you do in place of it?? I am not crazy about that block, so will be looking for something to replace it when I get there....thanks in advance!! |

This was the second block that I substituted. I just made up my liberty block with the leftover pieces from my arrowhead block.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]326173[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]326174[/ATTACH] Here's how I made my arrowhead block. http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...ck-t92447.html Since then I have bought the book 501 Rotary Cut Quilt Blocks by Judy Hopkins. |

QuiltE .... Great basket and flowers.....two lovely blocks......good choice, as usual, of fabrics......
|
QuiltE, your blocks are beautiful!!! That beautiful shade of yellow really makes the other colors pop.
|
dublb, your patriotic blocks are beautiful!!! Nice job.
|
Aw Shucks .. *blush* ... Yinz are all so kind!!!
|
QE I think those are my favorite of all your blocks. Really pretty with such great contrast.
Carriem, I didn't do Confounded Rose (QNS name for it LOL). I substituted a star block with dog print and called it Dog Star. If I find I don't like a block, I'm substituting another block and using fabric that wouldn't fit in some of the smaller pieces of the PC blocks. I've found some good 8" blocks on QuiltersCache. |
Jan...thanks for the idea. I did find the "Iowa Star" block today in 8" so will make one of those as a substitute. I will take a look at the site you recommended for others if needed. I also know I will make 2 of the telephone block...my husband works for an independent telephone company in a small town. I am making 2 twin size quilts so want a phone on each. :) Maybe a state block for each would be a good idea too....hmmmmm?
|
JanRN ... You're so kind. I wasn't sure if there was enough contrast for the basket from the garden print behind it. Seems as though it isn't as noticable as perhaps it should be. One of those things that you think will be right ... and then see it differently after it is made.
CarrieM ... Great idea! Your Iowa and telephone blocks will make your quilts much more personal for you. Are you going to do the two as a matched pair? Or change the sashing/cornerstones? |
I will be changing the sashing/cornerstones...one will have the red sashing w/green/gray combo. The other will be the same print as the red in navy...haven't decided on cornerstones for that one yet. I have 3 shades oranges...from rust to almost cream so maybe the lightest of those . The first half of the blocks I am making I am avoiding using the reds on the outside of the blocks and then will change to not so much blue on the outsides.
I am just planning to make the 90 blocks using 1/2 in each quilt since it is going on a built-in day bed in our living room and won't need a lot of extra fabric hanging down the back and ends. We'll see how that all turns out. :) I bought a couple Farmer's Wife magazines on ebay and plan to copy and frame a couple covers for decor in my living room...might try to find a "pony club" advertisement to hang up too. |
QuiltE...love your blocks.
Dubib...you are so creative with the substitutions. I see you got the book that they're using on the Story BOM. Have I missed your blocks? Must go look. |
CarrieM ... It's going to be oh so nice!! What a good idea to frame up the covers! ... Another idea, copy and reduce them down, then print onto fabric for a block in your quilt. Or with the label? Wouldn't that be fun to find one with the PC advertisement?
Thanks GGal .. with a name like yours, perhaps the Basket should be yours! |

Those are lovely blocks DublB ... and I saw GGal's Crystal Star, too!
I take it that the BOM is that you make "something" that is a variation of the 9P, HST etc. as assigned each month? |

GGal ... I did look at it when it was first started, and kept saying to myself, Iamnotstartinganotherproject-Iamnotstartinganotherproject-Iamnotstartinganotherproject. I was tempted, but no ... I have more than enough on the go (says she who has been looking at piece of John Deere fabric today, and thinking about possibilities!!:))
|
QE-I like the background flowers to your basket block and basket fabric is spot on. BLING!! From a distance the blue looks like bandana fabric.
Carrie, I used the Iowa star in place of the Arizona star, and then found I had the AZ star fabrics cut and ready to sew so did both. LOL. Looking forward to see your 2 quilts when all is said and done. |
