I've got #51 done. My scan darkened up the top corners, don't know why...whoever does when the computer acts up!??###%%#!!
BTW, every once and awhile you'll see a basting stitch on an outside block. If there is a pp with just one little block on it, I baste around it in the area between the edge of the block and the seam allowance. It's so the piece will stay put and not wrinkle or fold when I'm joining it to another piece. Hovering Hawks [ATTACH=CONFIG]93793[/ATTACH] |

And here's #52!
Did anyone else use the pp pattern from the Yahoo group? One of the pieces is backwards. It's the piece to the right of units C & E. You just have to put the material on the same side as the printing and it will work fine. Hovering Hawks [ATTACH=CONFIG]157564[/ATTACH] |
Ladies your blocks are looking wonderful and so pretty! I have been attending the BHSS stock show and quilt show so hopefully will be back to the sewing in a couple days.EEk now I'm a week behind almost 2...

As always, everyone's blocks are lovely. QuiltingNinaSue, I like your block 52; my late husband was a Hawkeye! Here are my blocks for the week.

Evie - Your blocks are stunning. Violet

Evie your blocks are beautiful!
|
Evie--two more winners! I can't wait to see your quilt when it's finished. It will be stunning.

Thank you, ladies. I think it's coming along nicely, although I'm not sure what I'll use for sashing. I can't believe we're almost halfway through. It's been a fantastic journey to date.

Here I am..... Finally, with my 4" Block 51 and Block #52
Rather than hovering birds and hawks mine should be called hovering flowers. I decided I needed some lighter colors added in to my group. 4" Block # 51- Hovering Birds- Scrappy [ATTACH=CONFIG]135093[/ATTACH] 4" Block #52 Hovering Hawks-Scrappy [ATTACH=CONFIG]135096[/ATTACH] |

Oh that was fun ... visiting and admiring all your blocks!
Do you find you smile when you see a fabric from your stash? I'm usually amazed, just because of the country differences, that I see the same. I am encouraged to use a grassy fabric from my stash. I was looking at it the other day, and was worried it'd just be a disaster ... then I saw QNinaSue's which is very similar. So watch for it to appear in a block coming your way very soon!!! And for tonight, it was sure nice to have two simpler blocks. #51 -- Hovering Birds ... and #52 -- Hovering Hawks ... some sparkly hawks here! |
Everytime I run through a new week's thread (new to me) I find it to be a humbling experience. The workmanship you quilters exhibit is phenomenal from the very first images to the latest pics. I find myself striving to perfect these little blocks with each one I sew. OBTW I have 5 more sewn with 6 and 7 on the burner. Will let you know when I post.

Looks like you're a rockin' and a rollin' with these blocks now!!!! <clap> <clap> <clap> yeaaaaaaaaaaaa for you!!!!!!!!!
I'll be looking forward to seeing all yours as you have been coming out with some great ones! Me too, I'm sure I've learned more while doing the FWS than any other project that I've worked on before. No, not sure ... I know I have!!! I'm certainly not a master of colour or contrast/fabric selections, though I'm feeling better about it. And that's proven by tonight's block, #57, Morning ..... didn't get the contrast right at all! I'm glad I pushed myself to doing the PPing as much as I have, as now I am not intimidated by it all. Besides, if we don't try to do bigger and better and more difficult things, we'll never get better as a quilter, will we? Ahhhh the old 4-H "Learn To Do By Doing", shines forth! :) |
And don't forget "To make the Best, Better". We are products of our environment/upbringing, QE. Have switched gears to Christmas presents now. A dash of snow on the ground and one thinks of the season!

Well Said ... we can always do better!

I'm certainly not a master of colour or contrast/fabric selections, though I'm feeling better about it. I wholeheartedly agree with you! There are so many different things I learn with FW. My color sense is so much better now also. I wish I could do PC with everyone, not only for the great people that I've come to know but also for more advancement in quilting skills and knowledge. |
