Wow, these are so beautiful! *Starts to have a panic attack that she won't be able to make them any better*

I'm so excited to get my hands on a few of these! It should be awesome!

Ms. Sage -- sew glad you like your row!!! (And yes, it passed kitty inspection :roll: :roll: )

great job on the second rows everyone...I plan a trip to the fabric store tomorrow to pick out some facric for this row robin and the IRR.....wish me luck

Great job everyone

Mrsj82, Here is the second row on yours. Hopefully the colors show up right. I couldn't get it all in one picture, so there's two showing each end. Hope you like it. I'll get it in the mail early next week.

2Doods, that is awesome! I can't wait to see it in person!
Lori

babeegirl...I never did get the label in the mail did you sent it? I went to the fabric store today and got some material to finish your second row.

On MrsJ82's quilt are the only colors to be (looks to me) blue and green..with touch of yellow or is it my puter that makes it look that way? Sure looks as though you managed to match them exactly. How did you do that? I am worried I wont be able to match them as well.

Margie

Margie, I'm glad you like it. It was very fun to do. :lol:

So beautiful---all of them :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Nicely done everyone!
{{{Pats on your back from Oregon}}} :lol:

>^..^<

*GASP* That is so beautiful!!!!!!!! I cannot even believe it! I love it!!! You did a great job! I can't stop looking at it!

And I honestly don't mind any other colors, I'd just like to have some blue and green in the quilt. You don't have to match it, I'd just like to have a little forest green in it as that's the color of my bedroom.

They are all so wonderful! You are all doing a fantastic job. Can't wait to see more.

well, I finally finished Lori's row. I made several blocks that were rejects, tore out and redid some blocks..couldnt get the row to line up and took it apart and attempted to fix six times........but it is done. I will post pics tomorrow. Right now I am too depressed. I really tried hard, but the more pics I see here, the more I realize I am in NO WAY IN THE SAME LEAGUE. I do try hard anyway. I hope it is acceptable...I really dont know what to do except send it on at this point.

Posting pics in am.

Margie I am however...an expert with wonky blocks!!

OK Here is Lori's row completed....I tried. Now will TRY to post pics lol

Margie

Lori's row attempt two lol

Margie

These dont seem to be coming three at a time...third attempt

Margie

I guess posting is also NOT my forte lol

Oh Margie! I love them!! Can I see more, can I, can I??? Don't feel stressed or upset, they look great!

I wouldn't worry about it Margie, I just took the row to the fabric store and found colors in the same family. I'm sure whatever you do, it will be just fine.

AGAIN Lori's row.

Margie

Margie -- each block is GREAT!!!! Wish I could see it in person :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Last try I guess.

Margie

Margie, Margie, Margie, you did great girl! I love the designs. They really complement the theme. Thank you!!!

Awwww, you are sweet to say that. Thank you...I am stretching myself here anyway. I have never done some of this stuff before. Really nervous. Glad you like it.

Margie

Margie,
Your blocks are an inspiration to me! What a beautiful contribution to the quilts...these are just wonderful!

You Go, Girl!

That is nice thing to say...tyvm. Everyone here on this board is so kind and encouraging and I really appreciate it. I dont want to ruin anyone's quilt and dont have experience like the rest of you. I have only done simple things before. So making myself stretch is good for me...thanks again everyone for the kind words. I will try to do a good job on your quilts.

Margie :)

WOW! Perfect job Margie

Margie, those are fantastic! I feel exactly the same way you do. I have no experience in some of these things, so I'm feeling a little nervous...but you're doing great!

How did you do the red and green?? So cool

Thank you so much...I guess you know how I am feeling then with all these amazing quilters! Margie

Glad you liked them...they were actually the easiest blocks. I tried piecing a logcabin pinwheel...OMG wonky wonky couldnt use it...tried another one, same thing. Had a different square in one and didnt like it too busy. Thought I need something a little less busy, so I just embroidered those two. Simply machine embroidered squares after a several really bad attempts at piecing(two full days worth of wasted squares lol). I had never done much piecing before..four patch and nine patch and once half squares. SO this is BIG stretch for me.

Thanks for kind words :)

Margie

I did that with the Round Robin center that we are doing. And the best part: the shop owner helped pick out fabrics and made lots of sugestions. It was wonderful having the help. :D

Margie, your work is beautiful :!:
I have seen it in person-I know :!: :lol:
You are doing a fabulous job and should be proud of yourself!

We all make wonky blocks sometimes. It is part of the learning process.
My favorite tool for this project: a 12 1/2 inch square ruler for the rotary cutter. I make the blocks a smidge large then trim them. And you can trim after each row on the log cabins and that keeps them squared up too.
All the hints that people have on here REALLY help me! That is how I found out there is a 1/4 inch foot for the machine among other things :lol:

gorgeious use of embroidery....love them

''

THANKS FOR THE TIP....you can believe I will be off to the quilt shop when I get that row. I cant believe how well it matches...and since new to this, probably would not have thought to take to lqs and ask them...DUH

Margie :)

Thank you , I love to embroider. So many beautiful designs and ways to use them.

Margie :)

Beautiful rows ladies!

I finially got the light bulbs done for the Christmas tree for Collettakay and will be putting it the mail today to MsSage.
