Sorry not to see your photos yet, Anne. Nice berries, QNS! I will be in the stinkin' dental chair most of tomorrow morning, so am glad to be able to send my photos today. I like my 'Strawberry Basket', but 'Streak of Lightning' is raggedy looking, appropriate for lightning, I guess.

Is everyone having a problem with their computer loading the photos, or is it just my computer??? They usually load so fast for me.

Mine loaded very slowly, but I thought it was just my computer. For the last several weeks, I've been using a very different & faster browser. However, it has a few quirks ... one being that pictures download more slowly, so I really can't answer your question.

I love all your blocks. I hope mine will load-new computer. I can't adjust the color/brightness of my pics.

Honchey 06-14-2011 06:17 PM

I tried loading them 3 times and keep on getting bumped off. I'm kind of borrowing the wireless signal and it's only one bar so I think that's part of the problem. I'll just have to wait. Anne

grannyQ 06-14-2011 08:43 PM

I have had a lot of trouble lately loading photo's, just thought it was my computer. It really takes a long time to upload them. Love your house Anne.

I have strawberry basket finished so hope to get Streaks of lightning done tomorrow (fingers crossed anyways)

Deranged - Your blocks look great. The strawberry basket really stands out with the solid. I like it. Think I will try a solid myself.

janRN 06-15-2011 05:48 AM

I love all the blocks. Lots of shades of red-all so pretty.

OOOOO Anne, I LOVE the streaks of lightning! I'm trying to catch up a bit. I cut out streaks, might skip basket - have one, and I spent all day (between chores) trying to do the buckwheat block - yikes, what a killer!

I'll post some pix tomorrow

ladyredhawk 06-15-2011 09:12 PM

I love your green in your blocks, Jeanie; looks like summer is here!! Now if the weather settles down from torandoes and rain, rain and more rain, we can all enjoy it.

Here's mine.

It's great to be back. I'm done with teaching for the year and on summer vacation. I'm working on catching up and doing the same blocks you are doing each week.

I love how everyone's blocks this week. Such a variety! Good job!

rwquilts 06-19-2011 04:46 AM

I love your blocks Nonnie!

You'd think by now we'd be slowing down in our color choices, but no! Each week's blocks are prettier thant the last--everyone has made such unique choices--I love them all.
DD I can't believe you're still handpiecing--you go girl! You're doing great.
Evie I love how you got the fabric design in your Streak of Lightening.
Can't wait for next week to see more beautiful blocks from everyone!!

Quilting Nonnie 06-19-2011 01:25 PM

Evie--Great Blocks! I love your fabric choices this week. I can't wait to see your quilt when it's all done.

AuntJo, I love your strawberries :D :D

janRN 07-05-2011 06:44 PM

Pretty blocks, AuntJo-love that bright red fabric. I don't think I used enough red in mine. (Too late now LOL). Great blocks.

What an array of Berries and Streaks!
I could just reach out and snack on those berries. And even those who did not choose berry fabric, your choices still seemed to "speak" of berries. It must have been fun for you to do that block, right in season for berry picking!

Some scary lightening strikes there, Ladies!

Here are mine ....
#91 -- Strawberry Basket -- no berry fabric, just some imagination here! As it would happen, since I made the block, I've since come heir to some!! Nope, not going to re-make it as I do like this one.
and
#92 -- Streak of Lightening -- I'm not sure if I like this one. It'll sure add some zip and punch to the quilt, though, maybe too much!! :)

Quilting Nonnie 01-16-2012 08:55 AM

QuiltE, I love your blocks. They are so rich. I like the streak of lightning; it will add a bit of zing! That twirly little gold in your strawberry basket is a wonderful fabric. Altogether two winners again!

QuiltE 01-16-2012 10:11 AM

Thanks QNonnie ... That twirly gold was the Shepherd's beard in my Christmas quilt. I really like the metallic fabrics and some day, I think I'll have to do a quilt the features them. Maybe too much together? That was the first I used that orange lightening. Maybe I should get a bit of it in another block or two, in the home stretch? there's a LOT of it in that one block.

oksewglad 01-17-2012 05:42 PM

Oh what fun to see everyone's blocks!
QNSue you have the most amazing appropriate fabrics. Such a thrill to see what you come up with. And the predictable color choices of some of you are such fun to see how you put them together.
QE wow--does lightning strike twice? Hope you didn't scare the flavor out of the strawberries in the next block! LOL

Kind of fitting for the weather here today. It's January, when it's supposed to be snowy and cold north of the 49th. We've had a tremendous lot of rain today. Thankfully no lightening, though I keep wondering if it might? However, the wind has gotten up, and the temperature is plummeting ... back to winter tomorrow! I just wish it would stay "winter"!!! :)
