Abbey Road block

I just finished this block for the Boom 17 swap, the request was for a 60's or 70's block. It is probably illegal and definitely immoral to be as proud as I am of this block, it turned out even better then in my head and I wanted to share it.

Kassaundra your quilt is a beautiful original; that pedestrian crossing wasn't there when I worked at EMI Electrical Studios in 1958-59 as it was then called; watching the 50th Beetles anniversary a few years ago sure brought back some memories of my late teens! I met a few stars of the day back then including Cliff Richard, The John Barry 7, Dennis Lotus, Ronnie Hilton and so on. Staff could sit in on the Friday night recording sessions of the tv show Drum Beat.

You did a fantastic job and have every right to be so proud.

maryb119 08-21-2016 01:14 PM

Love it!! Beatles forever!!!!

suern3 08-21-2016 01:38 PM

I love it! You definitely should be proud. But one little question...don't you kind of hate to give it away in the swap? I would have a hard time with that one:)

Sync 08-21-2016 01:43 PM

You certainly earned the right to be proud. That block is fabulous.

feline fanatic 08-21-2016 02:13 PM

If I had made that block i think i would be strutting around like a peacock in full display! You deserve to be proud. It will be hard to send it off in the swap and I bet the recipient will be over the moon when she gets it.

Cam's gram 08-21-2016 03:21 PM

Wonderful block for that era! Turned out great - I would be very proud too!

Your block is really wonderful. I love the shape of the boys. They just seem perfectly suited to the event! Great artistry and I know it will be enjoyed.

I tell you, for some reason when I seen this block I started hearing Beatles music. I LOVE it, you should be very proud of it!

Wicked awesome! Love how the batiks create a psychedelic background. You captured the essence of that time.
