Welcome to the board, Delphina. I'm new to this thread, but have been around the board for a while and really like the camaraderie. If you are so inclined, how about joining us on the mystery train ride? Judy, our fearless leader, takes us through making a quilt in easy steps. http://www.quiltingboard.com/blocks-...w-t285033.html
Even if you decide not to make a quilt, hanging around the "train" will introduce you to many folks on the board.

AND, you can always save her clues and go back sometime and make the Mystery. :thumbup:

Thanks I will jump on that train.

Well I got my block done, and it came out really cute-but I can't get the pic to post. but it's really cute can't wait for the next one.

I hope this works

it did work

Still haven't made my block but there is a heck of a good reason. My nephew's pregnant was airlifted here to the cities Sunday morning, my sister, nephew and Kelsey's mother were 4 hours behind. My dd and I went to be with her till immediate family arrived. On Friday they were told their baby would have only a very small time to live. You can imagine our agony and fears for Kelsey as we sat with her while they explained what would happen on his passing. Dad made it here and they took her in immediately for a c- section. Baby Liam was born and cried immediately. He is alive, doctors are still amazed but his little chest has to grow or it will be lethal. Lots of joy and tears being shed.

prayers to them all! God is awesome Little Liam must be a fighter !!

Ohhhm Terri, hugs prayers being sent... I'll be thinking about you all. Huge hugs!! xxx J xxx

The only thing better then a well placed stripe is a well done fussy cut! Love this one.

Thanks Kassaundra! I have decided to make two blocks each month, using different fabrics from a coordinated FQ pack I've had for some plus some blenders from my stash. At year's end I will have enough for a 4 block x 6 block lap quilt (probably with small sashing between blocks). Here are both January blocks together:

Beautiful blocks. I may have to do this one too.

Hi! I know I'm probably last to the party but I would like to join your group!

Good idea. Love the colors

Thought I would try this block, because it's red, white and blue I may turn this into a table runner for July. Just need to make a few more blocks.[ATTACH=CONFIG]565500[/ATTACH]

MGW, I love those fabrics! But I usually love all things Southwestern! lol I'm cutting my fabrics right now! I was going to use Pink and Brown since I was in a swap a long time ago and have tons of strips and accent fabrics. But have decided to use florals, I have tons from another swap so will be east to add fabrics as needed! I'll be posting mine soon!

Hugs,
Betty

January block
 

Loving the blocks everyone has made, getting great ideas for colours, might have to make some more now
Here is mine.

Got mine made too. Here it is.

Use your Cell phone, that's how I take photos of my blocks!

Hugs,

from scraps
 

finally got my block done all from scrap box. need to work on my point set. but not bad for a newbie

I like your block. Purple is my favorite color.

Libster I recognize your floral fabric, are you going to sash it and add it to your boom blocks.

think I have decided to use yellow and blues. Have a lot that needs to be used up

Tomara, kudos for jumping in as a newbie. Practice makes perfect for sure. Do you use any sizing (near the starch in the laundry isle)? I always use it especially when sewing angles, it helps to stablize the fabrics while you are sewing.

I am. Thought I would slide that one right on in there.

Libster, love your choice of fabrics, so pretty!

Thanks! I'm trying to recondition myself to like orange. I think it's beginning to grow on me a little bit.

I think you did great! Love the colors! Just keep on, you'll start to really love it as you go along. Always accept the challenge and mistakes are the way we learn!

Hugs,
Betty

I really like this block and decided to use some of my scraps. This is what I came up with. :)

Oh goodness klaus I decided to use my florals also and your blue floral is the first one I grabbed. Couldn't find the right shade of blue and switched to the daffodils.

Love the color of yellow. Love flowers too

terriamn, I like how you did yours. I should of put the flowers in the center too. I plan on making more so I'll do that next time.

Really nice choices ladies! I can't wait to see the next one. :)

Hi Karen. Love your yellow/blue flower fabric! You can always 'remove' your centre blue square and replace it with flower fabric. I've had to do that before... Have fun!! xJx

nice block I love the colors

Love it that would work for a QOV also
