I went back and looked and couldn't see what you did wrong

Have really enjoyed seeing everyone's blocks for this month. As we've been away camping I've finally made it home to my sewing room. I'm getting down to fewer & fewer fabrics in my b/w/g selection.... no problem.... what I have... I am using. Actually I'm quite happy with my block this month...some of the others have really been busy! [ATTACH=CONFIG]436224[/ATTACH]

Love the block! Your quilt is going to be spectacular...

I'm not doing the BOM, but I do have a UFO called Tennessee Waltz (Eleanor Burns pattern) and I think it's the same block. My sister and I have a thing going in which we want to finish as many UFOs as possible before next year's quilt show. I really have to figure out how to post pics so I can show what I DO manage to get done!

The entire quilt is the 54 - 40 or fight, just two different colors schemes. My coloring isn't very good. It's much prettier than this shows. Eleanor Burns has about three different quilts that use this block. It happens to be my favorite block.

I am using this Block for this month

[ATTACH=CONFIG]437131[/ATTACH]I am using this for my Sept BOM. I am getting into Paper Piecing;)

Cajun's Sept 54-40 or Fight

I have just finished this block and here is a photo. This has always been a favorite of mine.

Hope you like it.

Hugs,
Cajun

Wow everyone great September blocks and I also love all of the quilts that were shared which use the block. I have been busy making baby blankets and a quilted diaper bag for when my second grandson is born this November. I've been doing quite a bit of reverse quilting as I was having some difficulty with my backing bunching up. I was so excited by how wonderful the top stitching was going I didnt think to take peek underneath until it was too late. I was so tempted to just abandon the project and start over and then I thought about all the hard work I put into the piecing not to mention cost of fabric.

So that my quilting friends is what I have been up to. Will play catch up on the BOM's once all the baby items are finished. Have and Awesome Quilting Day.. OHHH and did I mention I joined a bowling league.

Do I dare try to make a quilted bowling bag.. well least wise they can comment on my unique bag and forget about my low bowling scores. Hahah... Again have a great one ladies and gents. :) :) :)
