Auntjo, thanks for sharing your FW. Love the setting! I know you are happy and sad to see it finished.

catch up wk. 3. My seam ripper is now my best friend after the Kansas Troubles. What a difference those 1/4" seams make - even if off by a hair! :)

Fun blocks everyone.... more time in the sewing room with the fan blowing on me! Over 30*C again today but they're forecasting rain for the weekend... hard to know what to be thankful for! [ATTACH=CONFIG]483612[/ATTACH] (2nd block of week 22 fabric doesn't like my vintage iron...hopefully I can spritz it into submission before putting it into the quilt!)Week 23 [ATTACH=CONFIG]483613[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]483614[/ATTACH] and the 1st block of week 24 [ATTACH=CONFIG]483615[/ATTACH]

Anael 07-17-2014 12:01 AM

Love them thimblebug!! Once in the quilt you won't notice :) But I have to admit, I've beaten some blocks into submission too :D :D

AuntJo, lovely! I had to redo Troubles in Kansas because mine was so off it didn't even look like how it should be :D

mirabelle 07-18-2014 02:21 AM

Beautiful blocks thimblebug6000, love them all

Wk. 4... Gotta get used to the paper piecing doing a reverse image block.

thimblebug6000 07-19-2014 05:16 PM

Ticked at myself today.... working on the Tumbling Blocks I decided to do it by English Paper Piecing..... as I'm attaching the units together I realize it's way too big.... YUP..... that little template includes the seam allowance & I should have eliminated it.... oh well.... maybe a chance for a design challenge...... I'm going to wait until I have the blocks around that one completed & then see what it looks like if I applique the shape out into the sashings.... or at least that's my thought at the moment. Loved the last block I just did....hehehe.... think it's supposed to be the signature place.... oh well..... plugging along but have my little grand doggie on my lap most of the time so not on the autobahn!

laurafet 07-20-2014 04:16 AM

Beautiful blocks Aunt Jo and Thimblebug. I too, am plugging away slowly. Need to get my pics up.

Karen G 07-20-2014 06:56 AM

Nice work, Auntjo. I'm taking a break from Sylvia to sew with 2.5 inch candy pieces that i received in a birthday swap here on the board. I'll be back soon.

A few more... they aren't as busy as some of them look. And I have no idea why some look "pink".

giquilt 07-25-2014 02:57 AM

Everyone's blocks look great. I have been sewing but on other things. Hoping to do some Sylvia before Sunday.
Mirabelle-Totally agree on block size. Love 6" blocks.

Anael 07-25-2014 03:41 AM

Thimblebug, great blocks. Your tumbling block is very interesting :D :D

Yes...I was going to do something "artsy" with my oversize tumblers but decided this was a better idea. I'll use the other sections on the back some place.

giquilt 07-27-2014 04:54 AM

Lost Post? Not that I am anywhere near caught up or should even ask.....but did I miss the next assignment post? The last one I see is #518. Just trying to write down on Calendar so if I ever get to work on these again I have order.

Anael 07-27-2014 05:05 AM

I will post the new assigment later today :)

Anael 07-27-2014 10:21 AM

The new assignments:

week 29
M 1 Spinning Hourglass
M6 Providence

Week 30
M 3 Dresden Plate
E 6 Jack in the Pulpit

Week 31
E 7 Ribbon Star
E 10 Hunter's Star

week 32
L 5 Pineapple
D 9 Orange Peel

With week 32 completed you will have 64 blocks. That means with the next assignment completed you will have over 70 blocks, meaning you can count down :) :)

Anael 07-27-2014 10:22 AM

Laurafet, such bright and beautiful blocks! They made me smile :)

mirabelle 07-27-2014 02:48 PM

Thanks Anael for keeping me on track:thumbup:

thimblebug6000 07-28-2014 05:54 AM

Thanks for the new blocks Anael! Looking forward to seeing everyone's pictures, it's so inspiring!

QuiltingNinaSue 07-28-2014 06:11 AM

Hello, again, everyone....I am back in the QR, able to see better some days than others, but I am still quilting away one day at a time...and not blind, thank goodness! I think, giquilt, I have copied all the assignments, if you need a copy...I reviewed everything from thirty to sixty...will try to get some blocks done.

Working on teh TW and a new "I SPY" quilt for a friend's two year old grandson, and a couple of wall hangings....called "Mama and her kittens" for a couple of ladies who trap and rescue kittens from Thunderhead Lake here. They recently gave me three kittens to add to my eight adopted cats.
