Karen en Thimblebug, lovely blocks ! ! !
Karen, what new project are you going to start?

Mirabelle, did you finish your reverse sewing? You're right by not letting him know you agree :D :D :D

mirabelle 04-30-2014 02:28 PM

Not yet Anael, just finished my morning coffee and about to start my day playing with Sylvia and Jane, I hope they play nice:D

Thimblebug, your blocks are turning out fantastic, the blues are beautiful. Love all your perfect points.

thimblebug6000 05-04-2014 04:03 PM

Thanks....BUT... these are all pp blocks so can't take any credit for the perfect points! I hope I don't get behind again as I'm finding some of these little boogers with their numerous pieces can be quite time consuming.....:shock:

Anael 05-04-2014 11:19 PM

Beautiful thimblebug! It's time for a group shot :) I know some of them can be very time consuming. And you can take credit for the perfect points. Even with PP it's not always easy to have them matched!

Here are my Week 17 blocks.

Anael 05-05-2014 01:34 AM

More gorgeous blocks!

laurafet 05-05-2014 04:39 AM

Wow! Everyone's are looking great! I think I need to put the other projects down for a bit and get serious about this. Great job all!

Karen G 05-06-2014 04:43 AM

Time for me to get back to Sylvia, too!

MamaHen 05-06-2014 04:50 AM

Time for me to also get back to them, I am so far behind I feel like i'll never catch up, but in due time they will get done. Love everyone's blocks, they are turning out great.

Week 20.... I needed to get these all completed so I can put away this bin of fabric..... [ATTACH=CONFIG]474979[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]474980[/ATTACH].... I'll try to figure out how I got my spreadsheet on here before :D so that you can see my blocks so far. I am looking forward to having more blocks posted throughout the quilt so that my fabrics can all be spread out before I run out of certain ones, rather than just clumped up at the top.

Hopefully this is my up-to-date spreadsheet [ATTACH=CONFIG]474983[/ATTACH]
Oh good, glad that this worked! As I mentioned before.... I need to make blocks in the middle here and there and at the end of my quilt as I am using miscellaneous fabrics & don't want them all clumped in one section.... looking forward to seeing others group block photos.

laurafet 05-09-2014 04:41 AM

Love them all Thimblebug! I have mine in a spreadsheet too, and for the same reason. Yours is looking fantastic. Is anyone quilting as you go?

Barb_513 05-09-2014 06:06 AM

All of your blocks look amazing! So I have about 8 blocks done. Let me give you a little background. My grandmother taught me how to sew when I was a kid. I sew and sell kids clothing. I also do embroidery. I hit 40 this year and my oldest left for college...do you see the mid life crisis coming? haha so I was sitting around one day and realized I needed to start quilting. I miss my grandmother and think of her often. My house is full of her quilts. I want to make quilts for my kids also. So never making a quilt before I started looking online. I fell in love many times but soon realized I love samplers. My dream is a Dear Jane. So I found you all and ordered my book and started my Sylvia. I am loving it. My seam ripper has become my best friend lol. My 8 year old twins seem to always be helping which leads to wrong sides being sewn together or some silly mistake. I have deemed this my learning, practicing and enjoying quilt. It is no where close to all of yours but it is my first and I am enjoying it. Thanks for sharing all your quilts with me. I am really enjoying reading all the posts and seeing all the beautiful blocks. Have a great weekend ladies!

thimblebug6000 05-09-2014 06:32 AM

Barb_513.... would love to see your blocks if you can get some pictures on here. It's so neat to see everyone's different colourways.

DottyD 05-09-2014 07:01 AM

Hi everyone - here is my updated design wall !

Hope you all have a nice weekend - our weather forecast here in the UK is rain, rain and oh yes - MORE rain - it is supposed to be spring !!!!

thimblebug6000 05-09-2014 08:57 AM

DottyD... great job! And hey.... you're almost 1/2 way finished!

laurafet 05-09-2014 12:07 PM

Ok here are my first three rows sewn together, as I add more blocks I will continue to sew them together, just at the moment no more room on the design wall:o I have remade Bright Hopes as the contrast fabric was too dark..

Absolutely loving making these..

laurafet 05-12-2014 09:05 PM

Wow, that looks fantastic!,

Anael 05-12-2014 09:28 PM

That's going to be a stunning quilt Mirabelle!

Barb_513 05-13-2014 05:29 AM

Mirabelle, I love your fabric choices! Your quilt is very pretty and your work is amazing!

thimblebug6000 05-13-2014 12:02 PM

Mirabelle, nice job with your sashings being the same as your background. Mine will be a challenge to figure out when the time comes but I'm enjoying using a variety for my backgrounds. Thanks so much for the picture, it's so inspiring!

mirabelle 05-13-2014 04:31 PM

Thank you everyone, I have wanted to make this quilt for some time so a huge thank you to Anael for hosting this BOW:hug:

I have finally taken pictures but resizing them is not working well. I have put them in my dropbox. I think I will redo the 2nd one and I have not done the final trim and square up but you can see that I am totally new :) and these are a bit...umm rough lol I am enjoying it and learning so much.

thimblebug6000 05-16-2014 07:06 AM

Barb_513, I'm not able to open your pictures, hope it's just my computer and someone else can. Look forward to seeing your colours.

Anael 05-16-2014 08:58 AM

I can see them. They're lovely! I don't see you're totally new!! Glad you're enjoying it Barb:)

Barb_513 05-16-2014 10:57 AM

Thank you Anael. My colors are all over the place. I am a bright and cheer type and I decided to do more fall type colors...that is the hardest part for me. My twins are picking many of the colors with me/for me lol

Thimblebug I am not sure why it won't open. I plan to do a spreadsheet soon :)

Anael 05-16-2014 11:27 AM

Barb, I'm like you, using mostly bright colors too.

laurafet 05-17-2014 06:39 AM

Beautiful blocks Barb!! Love all the color.
