My C4 is in post 970 on page 97 (orange one) It was not assigned before I just have done it. Here are 5 others I did recently. [ATTACH=CONFIG]543460[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]543461[/ATTACH] The 1st one is C8 (the lavender is really pretty, but this picture does not do it justice.) In reading order D5, N5, D2, I2.
Thanks Anael for keeping this going!

Anael 02-24-2016 10:23 PM

Your background fabric makes the blocks really pop!! I love the blocks and thanks for clearing up the C4 'problem'.
Beautiful blocks Giquilt :)

I wonder if Mike's girl got her book yet.

Anael 02-28-2016 05:02 AM

I haven't posted in ages as I had finished all my blocks.
I have also finished all the blocks in my Loyal Union Sampler quilt and what I have done is make four extra blocks for my SBS as I would like to make my quilt with twelve blocks across and twelve rows down.
This then left me with 4 blocks short- so here is are photos of the four extra blocks I have completed.
I chose these blocks from the Loyal Union Sampler quilt book by Jennifer C and they are :-

D2 - Emancipation.
D5 - Fond Farewell.
D9 - Gerda's Puzzle.
I9 - Spotsylvania Court House.

I now have to start adding the sashing to both quilts !

Anael 03-27-2016 09:54 AM

The blocks are beautiful Dotty! I have the book too, made a few blocks but I don't think I will do the whole thing.
Love yours!! Can't wait to see it all together :)

Blue Bell 03-27-2016 02:58 PM

DottyD----lovely blocks. Love your fabric selection.

DottyD 03-28-2016 01:20 AM

Thank you very much Anael and Blue Bell, the thoughts of all that sashing is daunting - but I did it with my Dear Jane - so I will get there - be it eventually LOL !

Anael 03-28-2016 01:59 AM

Oh I so can relate to that!! That's the part I dislike the most :) But once finished......you'll be so happy!!

orangeroom 03-28-2016 02:16 AM

I'm not a part of this post, but I like being able to look at your beautiful blocks! I also look at some and say "I have that fabric!" Nice work everyone! Keep it up!

Oh the red Chinese Coin is really eye-catching!! And the points, so very pointy in both your blocks! Thanks for sharing :)

sue z q 04-30-2016 08:36 AM

Haven't made any recent progress on my SBS, but I enjoy checking in to see others new blocks. Thanks to your starting this sew-along I just might finish it some time. Basically I've got it sewed in rows and blocks. Now just to get it all put together.

Anael 05-01-2016 12:16 AM

This will be the last assignment!! Yes, the last one! When you've made this block you're finished!

So........here it comes:

M 7 New Mexico

Please show your blocks or finished top :D :D I know most of you still have some work to do but just go ahead, one day you're done and happy with what you accomplished.

Thanks to all who joined this BOW.
I'll still be here cheering you on along the way!

giquilt 05-01-2016 07:06 AM

Anael, thank you for this BOW. I personally have not done very will following, but hope to finish Slyvia someday. When I do more blocks I will post. ( have all blocks listed on my calendar). Love how you took the time to put in order of difficulty.
Aunt Jo: I'm sure you are ahead of me. Even though I started with everyone else.
To everyone: we can do this.

Anael 05-01-2016 07:30 AM

Thanks for your kind words giquilt! Yes you can do this!! I would love to see the blocks you all are going to post :)

Beautiful blocks Aunt Jo! And you are ahead of me too! Please stay in touch everyone that has been on here, no matter how far you got with your blocks, The motivation, the inspiration from of all of you is such a joy to be a part of. Thank you Anael and everyone on here!

Such beautiful blocks auntjo!! Could you please make a group shot? Would love to see them all together!

Just keep making those blocks laurafet! One day you'll get there. And if you don't want to make all blocks you could use an alternating block and make a quilt with those. I started a second Sylvia, got bored and didn't finish them. I also started the Farmer's Wive and didn't like those blocks. As they're all 6" finished I made a quilt with those blocks and used a 9P as alternating block. [ATTACH=CONFIG]549843[/ATTACH]

Jane Quilter 05-12-2016 04:02 AM

This looks like a Dear Jane Quilt. Any specific colorways you are recommending?

Anael 05-12-2016 04:17 AM

No, not really. For the Sylvia blocks I used mostly greens and blues, the FS blocks were made with scraps in all colours. For the alternating blocks I used a white on white and a blue paisley. I also used the blue paisley for the borders.[ATTACH=CONFIG]549844[/ATTACH]

laurafet 05-12-2016 05:31 PM

Oh Wow!! That is stunning Anael! I will finish eventually- life just got in the way. Everyone keep posting as you go!
