Here are mine for the week. |
GGal--great job on your blocks. I like your substitute...what is the name of this block?
|
GG,love your colors and blocks. lol!!., I had to go back and look at mine again; forgotten already what I had done. Time moves on too fast this summer...drought is taking its toll on dh's nerves.
|
Ggal I love your blocks. The fabrics are so pretty and your sashing looks great with them.
|
Very nice GGal. Very soft subtle contrasts in both.
|
Ohhh GG they are great!!!:thumbup:
|
GGal ... Oh so nice! The background of the pinwheel block gives it such a look of motion. I like the three tone contrast you've created. And then some blue sky jumps in amidst the bolts of lightening!!
|
Thanks all. Wheel is the name of the block I used instead of the Indian.
|
GG - It's just darlin'!

There's a new host for the Yahoo FWS Pony Club Group...She has added a "mystery BOM...has nothing to do with the Pony Club Quilt_Along...she's trying to generate "interest" amonst the members there...12" blocks..3 a month? I'm adding them to the blocks from the 2012 Carol Doak Mystery...one a month. I will be doing them in assorted reds and white on whites..I only have 2 blocks from Carol Doak's group done...and they are very pretty...I always wanted to do a red /white quilt...I will post some photos later...H.
|
Blue flames + lightning + one HOT block!
These red and whites are going to make a fantastic quilt. Emily just saw lightning in the sky--maybe rain is coming. We can pray! |
Oooo I love those red & white blocks!!!
|
Honchey...such beautiful blocks. Your lightening one is really eye catching.
|
Anne, love the fabric in Lightening-really does look like it's streaking across the sky.
Those red & white blocks are so striking. I always wanted to do a 2 color quilt; let me add that to my list. |
No, QE, the background is white on white. Thank you.
|
Looking through the blocks for inspiration and ideas for lightening 'cause I do not like what I have done...and now have some new ideas that might work better. You all have very nice blocks.!!

Now see if the photo will go through cyberspace...[ATTACH=CONFIG]351285[/ATTACH] One choice or [ATTACH=CONFIG]351286[/ATTACH]second choice with the story...of an old Indian storyteller in the mountains telling of "ghost horses thundering" through the storm...in the tepee of young bucks and old squaws...but the squaws do not see the storyteller or hear him...
|
Amazing lightening fabric with horses jumping around in a frenzy!
You have some of the best stories, QNSue to go along with your blocks. I keep nudging you ... pleeeeeeeeeease get these stories written down! Keep them both ... and make your decision when you decide on the block placements. |
I really like both o' 'em, but the second one is the most interestin'! Great colors & a story! :thumbup:

I don't like the lightning block so I made a sub. It's called Shadow Rays and the pattern is from the Quilter's Cache.[ATTACH=CONFIG]352636[/ATTACH]
|
I am seeing the quilters cache blocks a whole new way, Anael, and loving your choice of colors that make the block lovely and pop!!! Love that combination of blue; that would look great on a quilt top, repeating itself. IF I have not down loaded the pattern, I will go back and correct my error and down load it. Good job.
|
Great substitute block! The different blues and white are good combination.
|
Thanks so much QNSue and carriem! I agree, it would look great on a quilt top but I get bored making the same blocks over and over again!
The Quilter's Cache is a great source of blocks and I love the site! I almost always find a block I like in the right size :) |
Anael...what a beautiful block. I've investigated quilter's cache and found many 8 inch blocks that aren't pp or have y seams and have made a couple for this next week. A great site
|
Thanks GG! I love pp and don't mind y seams :D
You can do this one without pp too, just make templates with the pp foundation pattern. |
Thanks for the substitute block, Anael. It looks great as usual. White center stars draws you in and then the eyes follow the "rays".
|
Aneal - Such a beautiful block! I love the way it radiates out! :thumbup:

I am posting the blocks that I finished while we were one our trip. Here is the first set:
|
Jeanie--great blocks! You did a good job with contrasting fabrics.
|
You were very busy on your trip! Such lovey blocks!
|
Very nice Jeanie--the red shows up again.
Just heard an interesting thing about lightning. We may be only seeing about 10% of the actual strike when it happens. Much like an iceberg; no wonder why it is so dangerous. |
Good job on the y seams, Jeanie. Beautiful blocks.
