The FWS Pony Club Quilt-Along wk 34 Old Indian Trail & Pansy Photo Page
 

I only have a little bit of eye candy this week...I have picked out the fabric for Pansy I just haven't gotten around to cutting it yet...Anyone else have a block for this week??? :)

I have it; now to try get it to publish here[ATTACH=CONFIG]358699[/ATTACH] Old Indian trails.

Pansy:[ATTACH=CONFIG]358702[/ATTACH]Pansy bed was bright with colors.

Well Old Indian trails double posted, then listed the first as an attachment... don;t know what happened or how to fix it at this point...If you can, Honchey you have my permission or whomever can fix it online.

here are mine for this week. I just couldn't envisage a Pansy block make with Rose fabric so substiuted the Maple Leaf block for this week.
Hope you like them

Anne, I love the colors you chose--that background fabric is beautiful. Great block.

QNS, you have the most appropriate fabrics; I always love your choices.

Mirab, I just sigh when I see your blocks; they're so pretty and soft. I love them.

I'm trying to do the blocks scrappy & close to the book's colors when I can...although I have strayed from the path quite a bit.

Wow such gorgeous blocks! I only have one to show you and I'm not going to finish the other one as I have too many projects right now!

What a great variety of blocks (as usual)! :) Keep up the good work ladies.

Such beautiful blocks everyone, another week gone and we are getting closer to the finish line:thumbdown:

Lovely 'eye' candy to see this morning. Honchey, I do look at the colors used in the book, then I go largely for unique one of a kind different block, often changing the dark to light or the reverse of that. When I create a quilt, I like to make it unique for the person it is gifted to...not factory made the same way each time that robots can do. Wonder how many are saying to themselves after reading the statement say, "Yep, we knew that about her!" For 46 years, I have been telling my dh, "Sorry, I am not programed to think or do things that way!!"

Dd of dh's aunt was complaining on "where was her quilt??" when I gifted the aunt and two sons...must think they grow on trees and I could not wait to give away $600 to $1000 worth of work in FIL's memory even though she had done nothing for him as far as I know. Think the aunt will give her quilt to the daughter, but that is out of my hands to control...I tried to explain, it was a memorial quilt, given to those who had given to FIL, and made for individual's taste,and that I did not know her well enough to know her bed size or colors she liked. Not to say I would not "gift" her later on after I finished for others on a list..

Hard to believe we're at week 34. [ATTACH=CONFIG]358789[/ATTACH]

Ummmm QNS...How do I get on your list?????

Jan, I love your blocks, The colors are so pretty and bright... I'm working on Pansy right now...well not right now but as soon as I get off the cp.. I have the rusty swirly fabric and hesitated on using it for any of the blocks. I'm heading to DE for a couple of days...I"ll be bringing my PC blocks with me...I have to find some sashing fabric..I tried to do it without the blocks and it didn't turn out too well...The green in OIT is a Moda line and comes in different colors..I have used the brown in several of the blocks...looks like paintbrush strokes to me...

Honchey--I recognize both fabrics from the Urban Couture Moda line...I used those for a jelly roll race quilt. Wanted to get more for curtains, but it was an older line than I realized and couldn't find the fabrics I wanted in yardage...oh well. :)

Jan--I like the swirl fabric you used. Both blocks turned out very nice.

Just have a lesson in language arts left and school will be done for the day...yay!!!

Has the teacher been sneaking away and playing a little hooky already so early in the school year?:D Bet the students love that!

I didn't go too far...they do LA on the main computer in the living room and I am on my laptop. :) Most days I try not to get on the computer while doing school, but there are parts they don't need my help so much any more so I do "sneak" on here. :)

All done now though so it is ok...lunch and then quilting!

Beautiful blocks Ladies all of them

I managed to get Pansy done and here it is...Going to Delaware in the morning for a few days...Have a great Labor Day Weekend everyone!!!

Jeanie, there is no 'wrong' way on this site and that is why I love it so much. So many beautiful blocks to enjoy morning, noon and night. I love them all. Yes, it would be nice to exchange a block, but its hard for some to keep up with two a week; maybe a celebration at the end at completion...to have names drawn and exchange with one possible...but that would put more work on our leader...and that might not be fair.

If you can be more specific and explain to me what needs to be done and enough agree to go along with it...I will go along with you and do the posting of the threads....

Jeanie ,,,all you have to do is rotate the block one turn so that the large light triangle is on the top right...

Count me in, I'm game for anything. As long as nobody objects to posting to Aus

What fun! Count me in too.

JeanieG, do tell us the way you would want to exchange [Wouldn't that make a beautiful quilt, if we all exchanged just that one block! ] with all of us on the PC trail. Remember, it would be roses to Aussie Mirabelle, not pansies. How many of us are there now?

Oh this would be fun! Another option might be if we each did a block that represented our our own location. (ie. I would do something TX.) Make 'em all scrappy. If ya'll don't want ta do this I'll do what ever ya'll vote on. One block or location blocks it'll be fun!

It's such a great idea! :thumbup:

I am interested. Questions...

Is this a swap where we make everyone a block? Or I send one person a block and that person sends someone else a block? I like the idea of making an "Iowa" type block. The quilt shop where I work has LOTS of novelties, but since I am not using them in my PC blocks, it would be fun to get a few FQs of "farm stuff" to make you all a block to think of Iowa...of course I would sneak in a little KT to remind you of me. :)

carrie

As long as there are no y seams, I'm in!! I like the idea of making blocks representing our hometown like Carrie's idea of "Iowa" blocks. Hmm.......

Jeanie..it looks like your comment is having a snowball affect! We're all sticking together.

This has become quite a group :thumbup: Gee what will be do next year, has Laurie written another book yet:rolleyes:

Hey it would be nice to get a 'pure' Texan block. Yeah, I have corn, pigs and produce fabric that could be an "Iowa" block, but no 'donkey' to represent Missouri' s symbol. Maybe I would need to cut out some chickens, ducks and turkeys...guineas, too..or go with the dogwood bloom...I like that latter thought.

How many blocks are we really talking about making? Honchey, QuiltE, JanRN, JeanieG, GGal, Oksewglad, Mirabelle, Dublb, me and how many more????Would not want to leave anyone out that might want to do this!! So sound off on who would...and see if its possible....have you heard of the custom design T shirt place?
