Yippee Aye Yay ,,We have reached the first milestone in this trailride and now it's time for "Show & Tell"...I only have 14 done...There aren't any quilt police around..are there???? :D
|
Very pretty, Anne!! These weeks have gone by so fast; can't believe we're this far along.
I love the variety of fabrics you're using-bright and cheery. |
Oh how fun, can't wait to see what everyone has done all in one place! Great job Anne - very colorful, it is going to make a wonderful quilt. I'll photo mine when I finish this weeks blocks. I just happen to put them up on my display wall last week. It makes me so happy to see them up there.

I made a picture of what we've done till this week, so 18 blocks. Do you want me to take another picture of the first 15 blocks?
|
Beautiful job, Anael. Love your colors. I expecially like the Block 1 with the purple flowers. They're all outstanding.
|
Thank you Jan!
|
oooohhh! PRETTY!!!
i will post mine in a day or two :) |
I have each of my blocks filed separately in plastic sleeves in a binder, so please pardon me if I don't take them apart to photo. I will enjoy seeing what you all have done......just too lazy to pull all mine out to photo....I have done most of them, so far. I only skip the ones with that dreaded "Y seam". I pp and no way do I want to deal with that. This is suppose to be fun....:) so I pick and choose.......

Though I will nudge you to take them out of their sleeves and do the group photo. You'll find it so rewarding for yourself, and help inspire you for your next blocks. (or atleast photo the group with the blocks in the sleeves? (and too, yes, we all want to see them!!!!!!!!!!!) Honchey and Anael ... Oh so nice to see the grouping. Amazing how the colours are playing together from one block to the other. Both of you have some turquoise and I really like how it's pulling out the subtleties of it in other blocks. Moi? ... I'm not going to post mine til I have the full grouping ready! All these groups though are going to help inspire me towards some of the fabric choices I'll make in future blocks. (First, I'll finish up my FWS! ..... and get this week's blocks done then later catch up on the earlier blocks) |
Wow, seeing all of the blocks together is really neat. I'll get my picture in the morning and post it.
Honchey...do I see a missing apple tree and that's why you have only 15? Just saying....but that came when you were having a multitude of problems with your computer....then you got sick....it sure isn't one to tackle when there are so many distractions!!! There would be a smiley face winking' at you if I knew where to find them. :) |
Well how about that? Smiley showed up but I never saw him coming. :)
|
What lovely groupings, Honchey and Anael And don't worry about the extra 3 blocks Anael. They are just more eye candy to see!! Will post mine when I get them done.

Very nice!

Honchey...do I see a missing apple tree and that's why you have only 15? That's not the only missing one....Apple tree, The Depot & Broken Heart are also missing... I found the apple print I wanted to use after the week it was supposed to get done...couldn't decide on the background fabric for The Depot and I ran away from the Broken Heart when I saw all those little triangles and didn't want to do it...I will do them inbetween all the blocks coming up...I now see that the pping on the larger blocks is sooooo much easier than the 6" blocks from the FWS Quilt-Along. I don't know why ....there are days that all I want to do is cut fabric and won't even go near the machine and then just work on another project...Then I go back to the current one. figure it out??? I can't. It's coming along ok. H
|
Honchey ... It happens to me! And thus why I often have more than one thing on the go. If my brain isn't in the zone for one then I switch over to another project. At first, I hopscotched around a lot on FWS .... I'd want to sew but some of the blocks just seemed so complicated so I'd look for the easy peasy ones or ones I knew I could nab in the time I had at the moment. I'll probably do more of that with PC. And sometimes, I just want something simple and mindless to sew ... you know, goof proof! Then there are times when I just don't go near the machine. Is it burnout?
You're being productive, with all your cutting! think about how quick those blocks will sew up, when you have no decisions to make about fabrics, and the pieces are all cut and ready to go!!!! |

Honchey...I feel that way on occasion too. Maybe why I have several projects going at once.
Here is my show and tell. |
Wowzers!! What a varety ... and yet they all seem to come together.
GGal have you used any of your fabrics in a 2nd block? |
Beautiful, Ggal. What a nice selection and balance of colors. Love the pink roses in the Depot something block. They all look great.
|
Okay you two (QE and Jan) quit stealing my words! I first thought what a wonderful variety and then ohh I really like the pink and black block. You beat me to it, but that's okay.--means we are seeing the same things!!:)

|

Cookie & Jeanie, really gorgeous blocks! I love looking at them back to back like that--same blocks but what different results. Very inspiring color combos for the upcoming blocks. Great job everyone.
|
JanRN ... ditto to Honchey ... did you see? did you see? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
CookieLM .... So nicely coordinated!!! I hope you have a design wall so you can keep them right in front of you to remind you how well you are doing. The gold is looking more orangey in this picture, than it is IRL, right? With this being your first "real" quilt, as you call it, I'm so happy you are feeling good about it so far. JeanieG ... What a lovely mixture. The creams/beiges are really helping to tone down the brights. All are looking really well together and you have lots of jumping off colours as you go along. All ... I'm always amazed at the differences from one to the other ... and yet the same blocks! Wouldn't it be nice if we could view all groupings on the screen at once?? |
Cookie and Jeanie wonderful display of fabric beauties! Isn't it wonderful how different these blocks look with different fabrics.
I should soon be able to post here. Yeah!! A little handstitching and scanning a Bird's Eye then try to put them in my EQ program--looking forward to being able to move them around w/o a design wall. |

Oh, wow! It amazes me to watch each of these lovely quilts becoming their own personalities! Seeing 'em here accents that even more! :) I'll post mine when I git the last 2 made. Probably when i get back from Van Alstine.
|
Oh boy I nearly missed this thread. Will post mine tomorrow.
WOW beautiful blocks everyone, so unique, there will surely be lots of beautiful quilts finished this year:thumbup: |
OK your blocks look beautiful together. I love the color scheme you're using. It's soft and subtle, very calming but each block has it's own personality. Very, very lovely blocks.
|
Cookie, Jeanie, OK...your show and tell are just beautiful. Like it's already been said, each is so different but each is so well balanced and pretty. Cookie, you can be very proud of your first quilt.

Oh yeah then tell me why my jpegs have all become PDF's!! Last night scanned 2 pieces of info to go to tax man saved as PDF. Now I open everything up and they are PDF and need to take special step to open them in my Pic program.:hunf:
Every time I see a grouping of a coordinated fabric line, I'm getting this itch to start a new project using such. Remember? that's one of my 2012 goals! You're still a Geek!!!!! ... way beyond anything I could accomplish! :) |
