Hi Y'all :-P :-P Some of the South is rubbing off on me! Here's some of the fruits of my labor while I was away.

Your southern is as charming as your blocks!

Posting time again; love seeing all the different colors on the same blocks. Loved your greeting and blocks, Anne.

Great blocks y'all (altho from Pittsburgh we'd say great blocks all of yinz!)
Here's mine:

Hi, again! Lots of pretty blocks already. "Swallow" is odd, but "Tall Pine Tree" is even more odd. I don't like it. Here are mine:

I keep on looking at tall pine and find that if you used three different fabrics 1. tree trunks, 2. tree tops, 3. background.. it would have appeared to be more balanced, like looking in the forest. but with the two fabrics it's..to me...out of balance. I only did the two fabric block and I'm sorry I didn't use a different fabric for the tree trunks. I'm not changing it. Anne

They are beautiful.

here are mine for this week...

I changed the pine tree, I didnt like it AT ALL the way it was.

I agree about Pine Tree so that's why I used 3 colors-the tree stood out. Still don't "get" swallow block.

These blocks are beautiful! The colors everyone chose are great.

Hi JanRN, The "Swallow" is a bird and if you step away and look at the block from a distance the "bird" image apears to be at a downward angle.

Deranged, Weezie, Jan, & Sue, great blocks!!!

Pat, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the fabrics you used in your blocks! Yummy! Great blocks also!

Which one of you is Pat? Anne

I wasn't to thrilled with this weeks blocks. But like everyone else I didn't rodo either. I'm almost done putting all my rows together. My camera is accting up so I'll post them later.

Here are mine. I accidentally posted on the discussion page... :oops:

I actually love my sparrow block! The tree one, however, is strange though. I agree with what everyone's been saying. At least it will be "hidden" in with a hundred other blocks!

Quilting Nina Sue, what a great idea to change the pine tree block! Yours looks great.

Deranged Damsel, I love your pine needle fabric. I can almost smell the forest. I love forests more than anything. I live close to the ocean, wouldn't you know?

Beautiful job Honchey. I will post mine tomorrow.

Those are stunning blocks Honchey!!! :thumbup:

Here are my blocks for the week.

Violet, Your blocks are bee-yoo-ti-ful. What great color combinations.

Love your blocks Violet. I really like that green swirly fabric.

Hi Ladies, All the blocks are Fantabulous!!! Anne

Here are mine for the week...it seems I'm getting later and later...

Just Beautifuuuuuul!

Nice job RW Quilts. I like using 3 colors on the pine tree.
Thanks Quilting Nonnie and Jan RN for the compliments. At this stage, I need all the encouragement I can get.

RW--Yours is the first block that looks actually like a tree! Congrats. I love the colors in your sparrow.

Here are my Blocks for this week.

Jeanie G - What a beautiful set of blocks. Your fabric selections are great. Nice job.

Thank you Pat, Violet and Nonnie!

Jeannie, nice job on your blocks!

JeanieG your centered butterfly is so beautiful!

Everyone's blocks are so incredible. I so enjoy looking even though I can't keep up.

Thank you, Ronda. Yours look great, as always. The "tall pine tree" looks better with 3 colors, but it's still a weird block. I'm not getting any urge to re-do mine.

I completely agree with you about it being a weird block! LOL! I probably won't make another either... :)

Jeannie, I LOVE the butterfly. The color choices for both blocks are so soothing. It helps to look at them when the temperature is in the near 90's outside!

Thank you everyone! So glad to be finally caught up after our trip. Still have my June BOM Star Pattern to finish, and one other BOM then I'll be totally caught up. I really hate to be behind in anything!

Beautiful blocks everyone, sadly I haven't got to mine yet :? Hopefully early next week I will be able to see the light at the end of a very long tunnel.
My Club is still busily making quilts for Cyclone Yasi effected areas just north of us, since March we have made almost a hundred quilts and still counting. Some people are still doing it tough.
I promised myself I would stay on top of this challenge and I am determined to get there, chug chug chugging along :thumbup:

Mirabelle, You are doing a wonderful thing in making quilts for all those victims of the hurricane. Your time is well spent and a blessing to others. If you don't make it quite at time with the others, we will still be rooting for you and wAtching for your posts.

Annnd. You're in great company with others going along at a slower pace!

Everyone's blocks are looking good. I didn't like that pine tree at all and thought it was one ugly block -- at least mine is, but not so much some of yours. But, here it is anyway.

Evie, I think your sparrow is very pretty. No one is going to post the name of the blocks on their quilt (are they? :shock: ) so your tree will just be one of the blocks. I mean, really, do any of these actually look like what their names are??

I think your "tree" block is adorably sweet! :thumbup:

Evie, great job on your blocks! But that's nothing new! :)

I say "Ditto".
