Ibex that is a beautiful block, I love the softness of the colors

Beautiful block for Jaba, Ibex! :thumbup:

Love the soft colors you chose Ibex, thank you so much.

I love how this block came out. It is interesting to see how this fabric swirls in the different blocks.

Hi. For those who like antique quilts,please check out my posts tonight under photos category. I like to restore antique quilts; one I hand quilted; one I machine quilted. The tops were pieced in 1900,and stored in the desert in an old cedar chest all these years. The fabric was in pretty good condition. They were both badly stained,but cleaned up well.

Francie-- they are very nice. Nice to see they aren't going to waste in someones hope chest.

Those are beautiful, Francie! I really love the blue gingham monkey wrenches. You quilted them just like they may have been back in their day.

I have a vintage top or two that need to be quilted. My favorite one is from about the 1950's. Gotta get that sandwiched and quilted. Recently I saw another unfinished vintage quilt at a flea market that I can't stop thinking about, but it's $50 unfinished! It's about 2/3 hand quilted, with the rest left for you to figure out. May have to go back and take another look at it.

I saw this and couldn't recall seeing Janice's block for me....went back, nothing. so went forward and there was this gorgeous block. wow is right. Janice you really made a perfect block with the colors and movement. Thank you

Libster, here's your block. I hope it's ok. I struggled with the greys so finally gave up on it, changed blocks and went with a deep red/burgundy. This pic was taken with a flash and the red looks blackish but it isn't. :)

So this is it for me for a bit. Ive got four more blocks to make; I won't forget. :) I've already neatened up my sewing room and put the big items away so no sewing for me for a couple of weeks. I like seeing it tidy but it won't last long.
