Molly--beautiful blocks. Watch out for the Phantom of the ironing board, Halloween is getting close.

Pretty blocks, Molly. Maybe your camera is kin to mine, although mine tends to change grays to blues. No idea why that happens.

MollyM, thanks for the great block. It's been fun watching the colors everyone chose to go with my fabric

I also love this block and I know Bibliostone knows it by 19 windows but I just wanted to share what I found today while was perusing pintrest,

A barn quilt of this block http://www.greencountybarnquilts.com...=locations.mdl

they called it peaceful hours so I did some googling and found this

Way back when we all registered for boom 17 and Seasaw commented that she sent 20 blocks I told Janice if she did instead of sending it back to her to send it to me so I could make 2 blocks for her. Thank You Janice


Anyway after all that I had nothing in my stash that I liked with her leaves so Saturday I visited my LQS and their fat quarter section. At this point I may have went off the reservation but.......the 3rd piece I picked up was those words and I immediately knew what I wanted to make, the green purple was easy to find to pull it all together and I was dying to do it. I kept trying to talk myself out of it I spent another 45 minutes in the store looking for something else that talked to me, and nothing. Ok who am I kidding I was in a fabric store lots of stuff was talking to me but nothing else said I want to be part of Sea's quilt. So Sea I do hope you are able to use this and I wasn't duped by some sweet talking fabric.


Morning star [ATTACH=CONFIG]560066[/ATTACH] also this is not a great color representation the close up of the word square is a little better [ATTACH=CONFIG]560067[/ATTACH]

I am looking for words and thinking I am going nuts - but the longer I stared it was becoming clearer!! Love it!!

Molly - the colors are going to play with the others - thanks for the block

Billi - Peaceful hours - the one pattern made me think it came about when someone made a block too large and had to cut it back! Thank you for the pattern. the farmers peaceful isn't quite the same but close. will look for pattern for it.

Muse - I haven't tried chenille strips but when I saw this I thought of your
ballet quilt cause it was same colors

I think I may try this on next baby quilt - anyone else done it?

terriamn 10-11-2016 06:51 AM

TG , glad I wasn't the only one who had trouble finding the words at first. Checked out he link you sent and I would be great on a baby quilt. Don't think I have ever seen it before

Billi thanks for the link you listed, had fun checking them out instead of doing what I should be doing

(sometimes) So here are three more tonight, just three more to go. Terriamn: Austin; Joan: Hole in the Barn door, except I made the focus fabric stripe bigger than the green one, which is opposite of the real block; and Traveling gramma: Road to Oklahoma. I took all three pictures at the same time in the same place with the same camera. Why, in the second one, my ironing pad looks pink, I have no idea. Weirder still is that the block doesn't seem to be off color....

Beautiful Molly that pink ironing board cover is odd though....sometimes no matter what I try the colors are just off and sometimes they are perfect and I have zero idea why.
