The FWS Pony Club Quilt-Along wk 26 Kansas & Lightening Photo Page
 

I hope Y'all have some pretties to show !

I don't know about "pretties" but here are mine. I substitued All Those Squares (from QuiltersCache) for Kansas. I wanted to have some farm scenes (and quite honestly I didn't want to do y-seams).[ATTACH=CONFIG]346316[/ATTACH]

Lovely job!! I love it. Perfect job. Lovely farm scenes. I love the way you did that.

JanRN, I love your substitution block with the farm scenes and the fabric in lightening looks so dramatic, just like a lightening storm. Great job on both!!

Here are mine. I messed up on lightening. When I squared it I took too much off the right hand side so I'm going to do it over but you get the gist of it.
I still need more practice adding corner squares on Kansas.

Thank you both for such nice comments.
Termi, congrats--your Kansas block it great. You have nice colors and good contrast and you nailed those **blasted y- seams. I really like the colors you used in Lightning.

Here are mine for this week, I worked on Kansas ALL day yesterday. Think I did more reverse sewing that straight sewing lol...

JanRN your farm scenes are beautiful and I love your marbled fabric.

Termi your blocks are beautiful, love the paisley print.

Thanks everyone for your kind words, as always lots of encouragement

You're right QuiltE, I'm back and I kind of fell off the Pony wagon. I have a lot of catching up to do! I think I have 36 blocks so do the math LOL. I just made a to-do list as I'm behind of lots of projects :(
The weather in France was great, lots of sunshine, only one day cloudy and no sunshine. We weren't very active, mostly beach and a walk in the evening so yes, lots of R + R :D

Mirab, what pretty blocks! Makes me wish I had "softer" tastes instead " in your face" colors LOL. Great job on both of them.
Anael, welcome back.

Thank you Jan!

JanR...what great fussy cutting and such a nice balance in the sub block. I'm with you on the bold colors. I'm stepping outside my usual though with a BOM called U-Taupeio I'm doing locally and I could get used to it...at least once in awhile.

Mirabelle...looks like you're back in the swing of things. I can't wait to see your finished quilt. No one will ever guess that it was made on the pony trail.

Termi...you really nailed the Kansas block. Maybe just a little frame on one side of lightening would be enough rather than starting all over again.

Anael...welcome back! No one else has been brave enough to admit how far behind they are but I can assure you, there are other riders in the rear but we all make up the PC and we couldn't do without them. As someone said, this is not a race. Hang in there and do what you can. We welcome your contribution.

Thanks so much for the warm welcome back :D

Don't you worry QuiltE, there's a lot on my list! I need to catch up on Jane, Sylvia, a few BOM's, I planned to do some FW blocks and when there's time left Pony blocks :D So I think I will travel beside you in the dust :o

Very pretty!

Ladies, you all have very pretty blocks, love all the different colors and makes each block your own. I haven't done the lightning block yet, and I just might do a sub for it, but here is mine for the week.

GQ--WOW! Love the bright blues contrasted with the tone on tone white!

How could I have forgotten DD's lovely hand piecing! :shock: Apologies DD--I'm the Deranged one today.

Great to have you back Anael, I am sure you will get your "list" under control

GrannyQ what a beautiful block:thumbup:

Thank you dubld and mirabelle! I'm working on my list LOL. Did the monthly blocks for this board (had to make 2) and now I'm working on my Sylvia blocks. Did this weeks BOW and just printed another block. When I finished that one I will get back to the Pony blocks and hope to catch up with all of you one day :o

I just had a look, I'm 6 weeks behind.

GrannyQ...what a nice combination of blues. Very striking results!

GrannyQ, your block is gorgeous! I love blue and white :o

Simple ... you blame it on the heat!!!!!!!! :D

I only have 27 blocks done so I am just a little further back on the "trail". :) I should be able to hit the "30" mark next week...then will try to get a picture of all to post.

grannyQ, your block is gorgeous, such nice contrast!!!

One done for week 26th: the Kansas block. It may or may not go into the quilt. Grrrr. Wiser choice for me: substitute. [ATTACH=CONFIG]346895[/ATTACH]

I don't see anything wrong with yuour Kansas block QNS! I think I see some chicks or parts of them :D

Granny Q, beautiful blues--you are so clever getting such contrast with such limited colors.

QNS, I love your block. It's fun and colorful and will add lots to your PC quilt.

QNS--this one is on my list of "to do" blocks...I haven't done does and darts yet, so might change my mind! I think you did a great job, especially the fussy-cutting in the center. :)
