Still think they need to make a "like" button, one easy click when you are in a hurry......or not suppose to be on the site at this time, lol.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]569539[/ATTACH] Ok, the colors did not come through good, probably due to the deary weather today. But they came together great. Loving these colors now.

I just stopped in to look at all the blocks for this month, they are all so pretty. At the rate we are going, we are all going to have some pretty quilt tops by the end of the year. Waiting on next months section.

Got the Broken Dishes block done for March. I seem to have to do it my way. "smile" I wanted the Paisley whole for the corners so reconfigured the block, making it a bit harder, but it all worked out.

Oksewnsew 03-08-2017 08:39 PM

Hey, works for me. I love that paisley - really pretty block..:thumbup:

Looks really pretty, Jan. Love the purples..

Well finally got around to posting all my blocks, including March. I've had March's done, just didn't get around to post them :rolleyes:. Not sure I'm happy with the 'green' one, but maybe it'll work in when is said and done.

This is going to be a great looking quilt. The fabrics you've chosen have such vibrance and lovely contrast .
The green one might look really neat if you replaced the solid green squares with your cream solid. I think the pattern that would emerge would be a "circle of blues" with a blue bowtie in the center.

I love the purples.

And is it just me, or does the block on the bottom far right strike everyone as an optical illusion? Sometimes I look it and I see the purple "loop" design. Other times I see 9 white rectangles laying on a purple bed.

Oksewnsew 03-09-2017 09:38 PM

That might work..I have all these colors that go with the butterfly pc, and am trying to work with all of them, but it's just too much green for me - I'm not fold of green anyway. I might try making another one with more of the ToT and just leave a bit of the green.. Thanks for the idea. :)

Wow! Pretty blocks!

retiredteacher09 03-11-2017 04:53 PM

Thanks everyone for sharing your finished blocks. All of them are so pretty.

I have been sorting donated fabric scraps by color and am almost finished. It was several years of donated scraps and what a task! Thankfully, some youth helped me last Sunday for a service project. :). Now I just need.to keep the new incoming scraps sorted as soon as I get them and to find time to make quilt blocks from them! Lol!

Now it's time to decide which colors to use in the March blocks.

Love your blocks Kristi. Is the plaid homespun or flannel?

Oksewnsew 03-12-2017 05:06 PM

Such pretty blocks being made, great job. Zozee, I took your suggestion and replaced the little squares on the 'green' block with the cream color and YES, looks much better. Thanks for the idea. :thumbup:

Great! Will you post a picture?

zozee 03-13-2017 08:49 PM

Kristijoy, you sure have an eye for color and pattern.

Oksewnsew 03-13-2017 08:51 PM

Sure, Zozee, I will do it in morning. I haven't taken a pic yet.

Ok, here is the revised block. It does look a lot better. Not sure why I didn't 'see' it earlier..oh well.....

I hope all in the upper/Eastern states are safe. I can't believe how much SNOW you're getting, gosh..and we're headed up in temps, again.. It's just not fair we didn't get any snow this winter!!


[ATTACH=CONFIG]569875[/ATTACH]

zozee 03-14-2017 02:05 PM

That block looks great ! I can really see the design stand out now.

Actually, the snow way underperformed the predictions. In our area, they kept calling for 12"-18. I thought, "Oh, maybe 8, they always exaggerate." We got maybe 5. But on top of that a vicious sleeting and big chunky ice blowing every which way. It's quieted down now. Cold, crystally, windy, icky winter mix.

Finished my February blocks yesterday and hope to get started on March's today. Still digging out from yesterday's blizzard - 2 feet of snow here. My son lives 2 hours west of us and got 4 feet of snow! C'mon spring! BTW, beautiful blocks, ladies!

Oksewnsew 03-15-2017 11:41 AM

Please be careful 'digging out'. Hope you're keeping warm and sewing a lot. :thumbup:

Nice block, I like this. I haven't even started on mine other than starting to cut them out. So discouraged. We too got dumped big time with snow. Between that and my foot making it next to impossible to stay on my feet for any time, I am falling behind in everything. But will keep on keeping on till I get there. Everyone's blocks are looking good.

retiredteacher09 03-16-2017 12:20 PM

AnngelAnne: You can do it with baby steps. I know how things slow down with lots of snow. I hope your foot feels better soon.
