Thanks for that, QM. I understand what you are going for now. :). It'll be a beautiful quilt.

Use the colors in the fabric, but be sure to shade the color selection. If you don't have colors to coordinate/shade for the block, use orange because that is the focus color of the quilt. Hope that helps with any clarification. Kaffe fabric always blends together and that is what I am trying to do.

Here's what I've done today. First is for Sewbizgirl. It's "Milo's Star".
Second is for MonaG. It's "Framed Star".
Third is for QuilterMama. It's "Indiana Puzzle".
Fourth is for NanaKathy55. It's "Square In A Star".

Libster 01-26-2017 01:23 PM

NanaKathy55, your block looks like I used a blue with it, but I used a very soft gray and a soft yellow. I'll try taking another picture of that one for you.

NanaKathy, hope this is a better picture of your block this time.

sewbizgirl 01-26-2017 04:56 PM

Thank you for my cool blocks, Libster and Jaba! All of your other blocks are lovely, as well.

Quiltermomma, what exactly do you mean by "shading" the color selection? I have no clue. Did you want us to use a darker shade of colors in the block? Or different shades (values) of one color? Please explain. I already made your block and I hope my color selection works for your quilt, but for the sake of others could you maybe clarify this concept of shading a color selection? Thanks.

Thanks Janice we sure are expierencing highs and lows

terriamn 01-26-2017 06:01 PM

Jaba my blocks are perfect thanks so much

terriamn 01-26-2017 06:07 PM

GranE tonight was Caribbean night and the main corse was Caribbean lobster, they are smaller and not as sweet as the east coast lobsters but they are darn good. Chef filled my plate full even when I said stop. Only ate what I was comfortable with. Dh ate all of his and said it feels like he has a bowling ball in his stomach and that man can eat anything. Glad I stopped when I did

Many thanks Jaba The block you made is beautiful Love it

Janice McC 01-27-2017 08:00 AM

Beautiful blocks, Boomers! Mona's blocks are eye catching (and I mean in a good way!) and the fussy cutting on Sewbizgirl's and Terriamn's is great. And thanks for keeping the pix size down. Very helpful!

I plan to be offline for a day or two so I'll catch up with everyone's pix as soon as I can. I will have limited email access so if anyone must reach me, go ahead and try that. Thanks!

QuilterMomma 01-27-2017 08:50 AM

sewbiz, how you made your block is what i am talking about. some color contrast, but the shade/value as close to f8 fabric as posshttp://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PzDAhp_F8a...fe-Fassett.JPGible.

something like this quilt i m making.
I think the blocks so far will work. all else fails, orange is her color

Here's my 2nd one for sewbizgirl. It's a "Shadow Box". That was about as masculine a block as I could find online. When you sash it, it will be more defined.

sewbizgirl 01-27-2017 01:04 PM

Thank you, Libster! I was just thinking about doing that block with someone else's fabric last night! Looks great.

Just finished today, here are my last blocks for this group and I hope everyone will be able to use what I have chosen to make. libster- 12 triangles and union square blocks[ATTACH=CONFIG]566861[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]566866[/ATTACH] Lstew2212- true blue and sawtooth star blocks [ATTACH=CONFIG]566867[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]566868[/ATTACH]

jaba 01-27-2017 02:21 PM

Just want everyone to know....I really enjoyed making your blocks. I try to make it something you will like and blend in your quilt. I really don't hurry making these, I love making them and just can't seem to slow down. My great happiness in my retirement life is sewing so when I start I dream of fabric and patterns and etc.....Trust me, my children say I'm obsessed, but they love to show me a quilt they would like and know it will be done very soon:) Thank you for participating in these wonderful booms and I'm looking forward to the blocks I'm going to receive. I'll keep checking in but am going to start making the April group blocks now.....how fun, more to sew!!

Here are two blocks for All2pieces. I had a little trouble with the yellow one because it made me keep thinking about candy corn and Id have to go get a piece of cheese cause I didnt have candy!! :) Hope you like them!

Kassaundra 01-27-2017 03:11 PM

I love that yellow one, and always think of GramE when I see the waltzing matilda block.

Thanks, Jaba. I love them both!

jaba 01-27-2017 04:27 PM

Always takes a pic to see the real thing. I'm embarrassed, will take those apart and re sew so they go the right direction. I looked and looked and didn't see this until now. I will fix it. So sorry lstew, thought directional pattern was right.

I do like the Waltzing Matida. It goes together so easily.
That's-the-only-time-my-name-and-dancing-are-mentioned-positively-in-the-same-sentence!;)
It isn't happening on the second line? And I went back up and added a line before and it let me space. I wonder if it has to do with the font setting? Try clicking on a font the next time it does that to you.

sewbizgirl 01-27-2017 05:55 PM

Great blocks, Jaba. It's always fun to see your lovely work.

sewbizgirl 01-27-2017 06:03 PM

Pretty candy corn block, JoanLiz, and your other star block too... Funny how we hanker for candy corn but after a few pieces we are sick. Corn syrup bombs.

sewbizgirl 01-27-2017 06:05 PM

Quiltermomma, thanks for posting that awesome Kaffe quilt and your further explanation of what you meant. :o

GramE 01-27-2017 07:22 PM

Seeing as how I'm kinda partial to purple, I like that Bootsy block, Kathy.

sewbizgirl 01-27-2017 10:40 PM

NanaKathy, wonderful blocks! I really LOVE Libster's flower basket.

marietta 01-28-2017 12:40 AM

Loving all the beautiful blocks

Libster 01-28-2017 04:10 AM

Everybody is just knocking it out of the park with these beautiful blocks! Yea, Boomers! I love my flower basket too.

terriamn 01-28-2017 05:02 AM

Nana Kathy great blocks but I love mine best. You really highlighted the sports fabric

Mona G 01-28-2017 06:20 AM

I have to agree...all the blocks are looking great. I love my purple and orange blocks, I think this quilt will be stunning when done.

Here's what I've done so far today. Now, if I could just learn to take a straight picture...oh well. I promise the blocks are square. First one is for Terriamn. It's "Anvil". Second one is for All2Pieces. It's also "Anvil". Hope y'all like them.

Pretty anvils, Libster... And here's another Capricorn block for A2P. I used Jinny Beyer's Rainbow again and added the sun in the middle. The fussy cut bull on the lower left was a total SURPRISE! I was just busy sweating getting all of those pieces out of the fabric and when assembled, there he was! How often does that NOT happen? :D

[ATTACH=CONFIG]566924[/ATTACH]

This fun fabric of Lstew's told me it wanted to be a hashtag block:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]566925[/ATTACH]

And this is a Pinwheel Star for JLT... such pretty fabrics! I wish I'd had enough of the swirly green to do all the outer big pieces in it too, but she said WOW was ok too.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]566926[/ATTACH]

Hope you like them, ladies!
