Anael 05-18-2014 06:45 AM

I almost forgot today was Monday:D:D, must be all that jumping around...

DD gave me a box of fabric on the weekend so I could help her finish a project and it is all the colours I want to use in Sylvia, I don't think she will be getting any back:D:D:D

Here are my next two blocks for this week

Anael 05-19-2014 04:52 AM

Gorgeous Mirabelle!
I thought you raided her stash already? Didn't you see those fabrics or did she hide them before you came?

MamaHen 05-19-2014 05:51 AM

Everyone's blocks are just beautiful, boy am I waaaaaay behind.

Anael she has so much fabric, it fills an entire wardrobe in her spare room:D:D oops wonder where she got that habit from:o

Looking good Mirabelle!

TOOMANYUFO'S 05-20-2014 05:20 PM

I am interested in joining you. I started making blocks a few years ago. I only have about 21 done. I won't try to keep up because I don't have the time. I'll try to do 1 block a week. Having a group helps motivate one another. I wish I had come across this the 1st of the year. I'll post pics of the ones I have done later. I've looked at all of your beautiful blocks. Hope you don't mind me jumping in.

Anael 05-20-2014 08:36 PM

Welcome to the group TOOMANYUFO'S :) It's never too late to start! Looking forward to seeing your blocks!

Karen G 05-31-2014 10:57 AM

Anael 05-31-2014 12:22 PM

Welcome back Karen! Your blocks are gorgeous!!!

Anael 06-06-2014 03:48 AM

Lovely blocks Karen! What's next on your list?

Karen G 06-07-2014 05:04 AM

I'm going to make a basket from a pattern called Knotty Baskets by Aunties Two Patterns. My fabric is ready to start.

Anael 06-07-2014 10:18 AM

Oh great! One can never have enough baskets :D

AlvaStitcher 06-08-2014 01:20 PM

Wow! I haven't check in on this thread in quite a while. All the blocks are BEAUTIFUL! Makes me want to get myself in gear and finish up mine. All my blocks are done and sewn into long strips. Just need to sew together horizontally. I used white for sashing as well as the background fabric. Now I wish I had used another color for the sashing. Oh well, I will love it when it is done. Just can't figure out how to quilt it. SITD would take as long as piecing the blocks! What are your plans for quilting?

Anael 06-08-2014 10:07 PM

AlvaStitcher, please show us your Sylvia! Mine only need borders and I still don't know how to quilt it. I thought about hand quilting but I'm not sure.

Here is picture of my blocks. They are connected in long rows but the long rows are not sewn together yet. They look wonky because they are laid out on the floor in the sewing room. No design wall yet. :) I love the way the bright colors pop on this quilt. I made most of the blocks using fabric from my stash. I think I bought only the background fabric. I had on every light possible in the room but it still looks shady. LOL

Yes I found your avatar :D :D
I love your blocks, they're bright and cheery! Love the Sunbonnet :) :)

laurafet 06-10-2014 03:57 AM

Alvastitcher, it is gorgeous!! Love all the colors!

Karen G 06-10-2014 05:15 AM

Alvastitcher, your blocks are gorgeous, I love the bright color choices.

AlvaStitcher 06-10-2014 07:08 AM

Thank you for the comments. I love the bright colors as well. Yellow being my favorite color. I did not think about the surrounding blocks when I chose fabric for the blocks. Color placement might not be the best but I will love it regardless. I think I exchanged a couple blocks for others. I know the Sunbonnet Sue is a replacement. I love Sunbonnet Sue. When I was very small I had a Sunbonnet Sue quilt. Never knew what happened to it. Probably loved it to death!

mirabelle 06-14-2014 04:16 AM

AlvaStitcher you blocks are beautiful.

I am taking a break for a little while, but will be back. Hopefully next month I will be able to catch up with you all. Life is just a little hectic for me right now.

Anael this is one quilt that will be finished this year and I am hoping that you will hold me to it...

Anael 06-14-2014 04:27 AM

That's ok Mirabelle, we will see you again when you're ready.
Finishing this year will be hard with 2 blocks a week. The quilt has 140 blocks, meaning 70 weeks :) But if you want to finish this year......you need another schedule :D :D

Here are six blocks I recently finished. I'm checking in here often to see all your beautiful blocks. I'm working in a different order because I'm hoping to do a QAYG method. Hope you like my blocks from row A and B.
