I also love your blocks!!

beautiful blocks and you're one ahead of the pack. Remember we do have two weeks for each block and there are two posting dates each month.:o

Marne...the greens worked perfect.

oooh, very pretty.

My sister's name is Marnie. You don't hear it often. :)[/QUOTE]

CindyA-where did she get that name from? Mine is a family name-and sounds like barn. You can tell someone doesn't know me-they call me all sorts of things, from Marnie, to Marianne, to Maureen.

Thank you all for your comments on my block-I'm thrilled that I made it work-and I rather like that I got to work a jaguar print in-it is a running joke with a friend.

It is so fun to see all the gorgeous blocks. There hasn't been one yet that I have not thought, oooh, stunning.

Have a lovely day.

Marne

Marne- ooh green, rainbow flavored eye candy.

dq- you are going to have one gorgeous quilt when they are all done.

Green isn't my favorite color but this block might just change my mind! WOW it's lovely!:thumbup:

Oh, ok. Yes, I did think it was pronounced the same, just spelled differently. My parents went to see an Alfred Hitchcock movie when my mom was pregnant (my sister is the youngest). I can't remember the title, but one of the characters was Marnie. My mom just loved the sound of it. Of course we have to tease her a bit about being named after an Alfred Hitchcock movie but she really enjoys having a unique name.

The title is Marnie.

ROFL Good thing my sister is not going to read this and know I forgot the title.

Finally the log cabin number three is complete![ATTACH=CONFIG]440551[/ATTACH] I ripped, sewed, and repeated "Rip!"

All all four together, don't know the end will be place mats or quilt.[ATTACH=CONFIG]440552[/ATTACH]

QNS you have such a great eye for color!

OksewGlad, Thank you. Love blue and its opposite on the color wheel of yellows and orange, then mix in some green, too.

QNS- gorgeous blocks, and I love the secondary diamonds.

QuiltingNinaSue - wow!! Love the color placements and the use of different fabrics for the center!

Really pretty blocks, ladies. Mine is almost done, just need to add the last two pieces and join the wedges. Can't believe I am almost caught up :)

Oh Sue, It's lovely!!! I just love it! Your center is wonderful!!!! Now look at all o' 'em tagether! :thumbup:

NinaSue I love your blue log cabin block, it is stunning and worth all the effort that went into it

More gorgeous blocks! I love all of them, so different and yet so beautiful :)

LOVE LOVE these NinaSue :D :D :D

Thank you all for your kind words. Log cabin SYE done, now on to the diamonds that are due next week, maybe by the 18th or 19th of October????

Here is my block 3. Yay! I am caught up :)

Candi, Your blocks are so pretty...each one different colors..neat idea!

Beautiful blocks Candi, love the batiks

I love your blocks. Is the background grey? (That's what it reads on my monitor). I love that shade--haven't seen it before and it really adds to your blocks.

Thanks ladies. Jan, yes, the background is grey, a dark grey. I am using my small (haha) stash of batik scraps and FQs for these blocks and only controlling my grey background and the green spikes. I am liking it so far, I will need to figure out a way to pull all the colors togther at the end and will do this either in some sashing or diamonds. Too early to tell.
Now the question is what colors should I use on my next block? Red? Yellow? Or...

QNS...I like the results. Worth the effort you put into it.
Candi...so much variety in each block with the batiks. I really like what you've done.

nice blocks Candi

Candi, your blocks look great!

Thank you ladies. Gotta love a rainy, off work Tuesday! As soon as I finish a few chores, I'll be spiking in my room :)

is it time yet??? is today the day? :D I did finish my LogCabin Hex yesterday :D but am waiting with anticipation for the go ahead for block #4 and I will post a pic of both :D

D_D, Thanks for reminding me:D

Yes, Spikers, you may post the second Spike block for this month of October....

Mirabelle and frustrated, love your blocks. Amazing how the different colors and values make the block look so different.

Candi another beautiful block, still loving your batiks.

Just took a pic of my first 4 blocks, I seem to have a lot of purple so will have to rectify that in the next few blocks
