I know it's early today--I just don't know when I can post these threads while I'm away. I am on time!! My blocks for this week are DONE!. I'm really digging deep in the scrap pile. Here they are.

Pretty blocks Anne. Here are mine.

Very nice, Honchey!!

Your abundance of purples amaze me!! your blocks are pretty too!

Beautiful colors, Granny Q

I remember passing many peaceful hours roaming the farm while growing up....these blocks take me back in time....

QNS--I just love your farm blocks. I used to vacation during the summer on a farm when I was a young child.There was a pump in the kitchen for water and a well outside. No bathroom in the house either!! I remember it now fondly--didn't like it then. Anne

Great blocks, ladies. You all did so well--I had trouble with 65-spatial relations problem. I couldn't "see" this one (if that makes sense). You all continue to amaze and impress me.

Pretty blocks, all! I'm off to the hospital again to visit DH, so will post my 65 & 66 first.

Ladies, your blocks are all great! I will post mine later today...I always love to see the new blocks!!!

Blocks 65 & 66

I used fabric that "blends" rather than contrasts for #65-I could not get those points right!

very nice job ladies

The blocks are so pretty ladies!!!

Here are my blocks for the week...

here are mine for the week.

looking good ladies :D the talent here is amazing, it sure is a treat to see these blocks every week :D

Hi Ladies, I also had problems with the points on the inside. What I did was to pin the points together then every 1/2", put the sewing machine needle down into the point and then sewed from the middle of the block(where the point was) to the edge of the block. I then turned the block around and sewed from the middle out to the other side --removing the pins as you sew.

Hi DD, Are you hand piecing your blocks?? Very nice sewing!

Hi Ladies
Managed to get my blocks done on time this week. I also had a few problems with #65 but I am not going to redo it.

I was supposed to go to patchwork today but the highway is closed AGAIN due to flooding. This is the fifth closure since Christmas. We have had 42 inches of rain so far for March and it is only the 17th. I am so over it
:-(

I think I will hide out in my sewing room today

Love your blocks Mirabelle. The color combination is so pretty.

Thank you Quilting Nonnie you are very kind, everyone has been so very encouraging with this sew along. Its wonderful to see everyones blocks each week, they are all so unique

yes Anne, I am. I think thats the reason why I havent had to much trouble making my points match. its soooo much easier when you can FEEL the points.

Hi DD, I was taught to handpiece first before anything else in quilting. I really enjoyed it. I have a hard time sewing in a straight line. I have to mark everything when handpiecing and I just don't have the patience or the eyesight when doing it now. I might try a few blocks again just for the heck of it.

Lots of beautiful blocks

All the blocks are so pretty. Guess I have put mine on the back burner for a while.

Has anyone completed their quilt yet? Would love to see pictures of completed quilts or sashing used and fabric used for cornerstones and side triangles and backing.

Me too.....

you could do a google images search? :D

Back from the G'kids. Here's mine for this week. I found my fabric for the sashing & have been cutting it this week, now to get it attached to these first 66 blocks...

Very pretty Auntjo-I love that burgandy fabric with the roses. What color sashing have you decided on? I've narrowed my choices to 3: brown, burgandy, and dark tourquoise (sp). I hope to make my final choice this week so I can start cutting and sewing them on, too.
Love everyones' blocks-I thought these were difficult but everyone did a beautiful job.

Hi all from rainy L.A. As always, enjoy seeing how everyone's blocks are turning out. This week's two aren't my favorites, by here they are.

Here's a close-up of my sashing I've been working on this weekend w/the queen sized layout from the book. :)

I really, really like that!! The brown makes all your colors pop. Great choice. Thank you so much for posting the pic-it helps to see someone else's blocks. I love the subtle print in the brown. Thank you for taking the time to answer so many questions!

Here are my Blocks 65 & 66.

JeanieG I love your centre butterfly it is beautiful.

AuntJo your sashing fabric is gorgeous,
I hope to go shopping for my sashing and border fabric tomorrow. I have lots of ideas and plan of taking my blocks with me. Wish me luck

Jeanie, Pretty butterfly! Looks ready to land! great blocks.

Jeannie I love your blocks. That aqua with the butterfly block is one of my favorites of yours.

Everyone's blocks are so beautiful! These blocks look soooo complicated - funny week to have available to participate again. Perhaps its time to try paper piecing. After all, what do I have to lose but a few scraps of material :) Sure do miss everyone!

Kookie

Great blocks. I love them!!
