Pretty blocks, ladies! On "Square Dance" I used another of the odd fabric squares (polka dots) that I got from Keepsake Quilting last year. Included in a year's membership were a number of different sized pre-cut squares, many cut from really freaky fabric; they are virtually useless, IMO, but I've have taken advantage of this FWS to use as many as I can.

What better way to use them!! I love polka dots..any way, shape or form. Your dot block is cute..

I'm bringing my computer so I can watch, oh and ah and say hi. |

There's something wrong with this "reply and send" The smileys don't show up where you click on them but end up on the bottom of the message.

I re-pressed my squash blossom before quilting. Looks better now, was a little crooked in the scan.
Mirabelle - your piecing is precision! Quilting Nina Sue - You have selected an ideal center block for your square dance. |
What great blocks everyone! I'm inspired.
|
Hi, I made mine to look like the Turquoise Indian Jewelry.
|
Wow Violetsfarm, that squash blossom is awesome! I love the center!
|
QuiltingNinaSue
Your square dance block is wonderful! I love the flower in the center. |
Hi Everyone! We're at the beach and oh what a day! It is beautiful! I'll send a picture tomorrow so you can all be here with me. It's so inspiring when I'm here - I see quilts everywhere I look; the ocean, sunsets, colors of flower boxes. We're so happy :) And Jonah is now 7 years old!

Wow Violet I love your Squash Blossom, really everyones blocks are beautiful. Well done :thumbup:
|
Thank you everyone for the compliments. The squash blossom had problems, when I took it apart and put it back together, I didn't get the center right. But it is okay. I'm not going to do any of these over, we are so near the finish.

Oh, my, what beautiful blocks!
Anne (Honcey): Your blocks are always so perfect! GrannyQ: I still love your purples! Weezie: I love your blocks -- and I love polka dots! (Weeize, as an after thought: Hope your DH is doing well.) QNinaSue, Violet and Jeanie: Love your fussy-cut centers. And everyone, love your color selections! I really have to do the "next" :lol: one scrappy so I can use those wonderful colors. But until then, here are my 3-color blocks: Block 85 -- Square Dance [ATTACH=CONFIG]203815[/ATTACH] Block 86 -- Squash Blossom [ATTACH=CONFIG]203816[/ATTACH] |

Doubt that I will do it with FW since I've already done the blocks. |

I used to do this with my piano books all the time. |

I had done Square Dance awhile back when I was jumping around and joining the group wherever they were. I think Square Dance is my favorite block I've done. I love the fabrics and how the block looks with them.
|
Yeaaaaaa! You're back QNonnie!
And two lovely blocks to come back with. I really like both of them. ITA how some blocks just come together to sometimes please us more than some of the others. Then, I have to admit, there are also some where I say, OMG what in the heck was I thinking, putting this with that. YUCK! :( Your return will help spurn me into into action now. I had a lot of ones done via hopscotching like you. Have them all matched up and paired. So now every pair means I really do have to make two blocks!!! :) While you were gone, I got 59+60 and 65+66 done and posted. 67 is finished and waiting for it's partner, 68 the Postage Stamps soon to come. Tonight, maybe? Then I get to jump ahead to 75 the Rosebud! |
Very cool! I have to check and see if I saw your latest blocks. I get the emails and I may have already seen them, but want to make sure.
Yup, pardner, we're on our way! I have 19 more to go. I do a skip from 90 to 97. I'm beginning to see the finish line (for making blocks) somewhere out in the distance! |
