Here's my first block! After reading/watching Bonnie Hunter on-line with the essential triangle tool, I'm trying to be more brave about cutting triangles. I also have a new 1/4 inch foot that I'm getting accustomed too. I tweaked it a bit to make flying geese and a partial seem in the center.

I can't wait to make the next one tomorrow! :)

Great job Kristi - I'm not a 'green' person, but that is very pretty. It would make a pretty Fall quilt. ;o)

Here are my 2 blocks for this month... I have a selection of fabrics which I wish to mingle together in the hope that the blocks will all share some of fabrics. This way I hope they will pull together, as it were.
These 2 may not look like they will match but my third block hopefully will have a mixture of these fabrics...

I love how color value changes the focal point of block number two! Enjoying everyone's color choices. Purple is not a color I use much but I think it is beautiful in the combos I've seen so far!

I really like all the blocks, but particulary the ones by Jacquie incorporating border fabrics. I'm always at a loss on how to use stripes and border fabrics. Thanks for the idea. I'm going to work on the second block today and hopefully take a pic of both together to post tomorrow.

Here is a picture of both my blocks. I'm not sure if I like all the yellow in the second block. I should have switched the yellow and blue flower print.

The picture skewed the colors a bit, I'll have to try my camera next time instead of my phone. There is green in the corners, but the center is actually a yellow. It's an interesting yellow, it definitely leans toward the green part of the spectrum. It looks great with the other fabrics in the collection, but I seriously doubt whether I would've purchased that yellow all by itself! :D

Carrot (Karen), when you subscribe to a thread by clicking on Thread Tools, there is a "notification" section where you can choose to receive emails instance, daily, weekly, etc. The default is set for "control panel only" so you need to click on the drop down arrow on the right side and choose how you want to receive notifications.

I had done all that...so now I unsubscribed and resubscribed and did it all again... we will see !!!!:thumbup:
