Been gone for a week, and just returned. Beautiful blocks everyone. I've got to finish my #2 block, when I "thought" I was finished with all six, I found one that had fabric that did not go all the way to the top edge so gotta redo that one section. Got #3 fabric chosen.

Now that's just way too lovely! I'm in love w/your dark backgrounds. They make your blocks sing.

I may have to do a dark one also.

JeanieG 09-22-2013 02:32 PM

Mirabs_dd - I see you are keeping up with your mom also, in blocks completed! LOL That one is just beautiful too, just like your first!

Mirabs_dd 09-22-2013 02:51 PM

Thanks everyone.. I'm loving the black background, haven't done a black quilt for so long, I'm glad I decided to do it..
No idea how I'll be putting the blocks together yet.. That'll come to me the more I do.. I like the idea of the woven look sashing...
Have to admit.. I have so many done coz I had a little help from mum... Lol.. I'm not great at keeping caught up.. Lol

dutchie 09-22-2013 03:36 PM

Very pretty, Mirbs_dd, the dark background really shows off your colors.

roserips 09-24-2013 08:48 AM

kwiltkrazy that is a beautiful block! I love how you added another background very interesting will be fun watching how you do the rest of your blocks. I almost have my third block done will be watching to see when we start posting those pictures.

roserips 09-24-2013 08:52 AM

dungeonquilter the thirties prints look great in your block!

I think I have figured out again how to post pictures! These are my first two blocks, the colors are brighter than they appear in the picture and the center of the 2nd block is actually bright yellow. I plan on putting Hexagon Folded Flowers in the center of each of my blocks. The flowers were originally put on as a tutorial by jlm5419.

Anael 09-24-2013 10:26 AM

kwiltkrazy, your block is so colorful, I love it!

Gramquilter, gorgeous blocks! The fabric you used for the setting triangles is great, it really makes the blocks float. What a great idea to use dark fabric. I didn't think of that, thanks!

kwiltkrazy 09-24-2013 11:20 AM

thank you roserips, I enjoyed putting it together, the first one didn't turn out to my liking, but this one I like. I now know I have to go through my stash again, I will definitely need more colors for the next block.

Gq-I love your blocks, so very soft. I can never pull off something soft, I think I am terminally gaudy, hahaha.

Roma Bauder 09-24-2013 01:56 PM

I just love your block! Your change w/the blue is gonna make your block stand out! :):thumbup:

kwiltkrazy 09-24-2013 05:00 PM

RB=beautiful country, most of Oregon is.

Thanks dbl and JG, I am really enjoying this, in between the three other projects I'm trying to get done. It's my refresher when I need a relaxing boost.

gardnergal970 09-27-2013 05:05 AM

Posting has slowed Down..I guess everyone is working on blocks 3 & 4. I scrolled back through all of this months and there are many, many well done, beautiful blocks. Someone said that it's an education just to see how each one of us uses color and I second that. Just to comment on the ones since my last comment...
rose rips....I love your unique color combinations. They are unusual but there is something calming and peaceful about them too.
Dungeonquilter...I like how you picked up a color from the flower for the accent. I didn't notice if you did that before or not. The tiny prints show their stuff too.
Mirabs__DD...such bright sparkly blocks. I'm partial to that apple green anyway and with the black background...wow.
Kwuitkrazy...bold and beautiful first block. More coming?
Gramquilter2...your second background is so subtle I didn't catch it until I looked closer. Nice.
I'm keeping a file on my computer of all of the blocks. Not everyone has posted theirs yet so we still have a lot to look forward to with these first two blocks....even if they get completed in months to come.

I just have to do the log cabin block. I saved it for last since it has a lot of little pieces and to me is the more difficult of them. I will try and post pictures of my other three blocks this weekend. I am using all Batiks and it is colorful.

I finally finished Block 2. These are fun, but time consuming!

kwiltkrazy 09-27-2013 10:33 AM

JG I love your block.

This thread is for the first two blocks. Honchey will post another thread for October when we will show our 3rd and 4th blocks. Sounds like your are moving right along. Looking forward to seeing your second block!

jeanie...yes they are time consuming but what results! Your fabric looks like the dotted Swiss from my youth. Like it a lot!

The colors look better in person, but here is my yellow block. I'm not sure how it is going to go with the rest of the colors.........

All of the blocks look so lovely-there are such creative people here!!!! For the October blocks my colors are pink and green (feel free to sing along!!!!) Red and yellow are not my favorite colors and I did not have many of them in my fabric supply. Pink should be quite easy.

Marne, your quilt will be so fun - every block a different color. Love the idea, anxious to see it put together!

I agree, JeanieG, very time consuming but SO worth it! Your block sings of refreshing colors.

JeanieG 09-27-2013 03:19 PM

kwiltkrazy 09-27-2013 04:07 PM
