Bibliostone, I like your fussy cutting with MJP fabric and that is a new to me block for Jaba.

Great block Shannon! I still make quite a few tester blocks too. I’ve been making them out of my boom fabric so when I put it together, I’ll just incorporate the ones that worked out. That orange looks like a perfect match.

I would need to cut the triangles first, THEN sew. [ATTACH=CONFIG]610459[/ATTACH]
Then playing around, I got this and will play more to finish. [ATTACH=CONFIG]610460[/ATTACH] I recommend it, it is fun, like a beach umbrella. So after realizing I needed to cut first to get rectangles, I was able to make your block. Lstew hope it is the right orange. [ATTACH=CONFIG]610461[/ATTACH] I am sure most of you wouldn’t need to cut fabric to figure this out but alas, I seem to need to see it. |
This group has really been rocking along! Love all the beautiful work shown today. Vikki, your white ribbon star just bowled me over! So beautiful.
Darcyshannon, half rectangles are very tricky to get right. Different angles at either end, and different 'overhangs' of seam allowance. That's why I finally caved and bought a set of AnglePlay templates. They always work. Or you could sew your seam and then center a rectangle over it and cut... You did great improvising with the wheel hexi you came up with. Never say 'die'! Terri, that granddaughter is going to want to move in with you, cause it's so much fun being with Gramma. :o |
Biblio and cheese thank you for my wonderful blocks. The fussy cutting is superb. I love the colors and design. I can’t wait to put all these great blocks in a quilt.
mrs Merkle wonderful appliqué. I love it! |
Darcy I love that block. I would need to buy the special rulers to do it. Kudos to you for figuring it out on your own!

Great block Vikkim. All of those points done just right. All of you are amazing.

Another two blocks for the viewing...
BiblioStone - this block is called Yankee Puzzle in EQ8 - the green isn't quite so dark as shown in this evening picture.. and the white is a true white on white.. [ATTACH=CONFIG]610463[/ATTACH] AnnieQuilts - this block is listed as Patience Block in EQ8.. the white is a true white on white and much more subtle than shown.. [ATTACH=CONFIG]610464[/ATTACH] Hope these fit well into your arrangement of blocks! I thought both turned out even better than anticipated when planning them. Fun fabrics! |
More beautiful blocks Christine!

Thank you all for your kind words. Annie, I'm so happy you like it. I was a bit nervous since I used two different WOWs. One is a pearled though it doesn't show well in the picture.

Such amazing blocks.
Vikkim, your block reminds me of an aerial view of a May Day pole with a huge ribbon tied on top. Janice, I love the star you did for Kass. Cheeshead, I love the variety of blocks you finished and the green is perfect for TG citrus. Hope I didn’t miss anyone.
