Hello everyone. I've been back to work on these. And I have pictures!

Let's see here, oh yes, I have the Depression Block for joannl, I worked really hard to collect enough fabrics to make it look scrappy, I hope you like it.

Then of course is Hayes Corner, this little dubie was just that I really struggled with cutting it, for some reason everytime I started to cut it I didn't have enough fabric of the darkest blue, so I would have to recut it in another color, this went out till I gave up and cut it out of a full yard. I hope you like it barbm, just don't look to close or else you might see my frog legs sticking out. (Don't worry they're all in the seam allowances!)

Elizabeth! It's fantastic! I love it! I can't wait until it comes home.

Barb

I'm glad you like it. :D

Elizabeth, those look great! I only have a few left to do and I've gotten side tracked :oops:

Here is Buzzards Roost for DAMayer. I think even the colors will come out right. Hope you like it Denise. I did get my shadow in the picture tho.

Elizabeth,
I love it! Can't wait to get to work on my blocks.

Bettlove that is perfect. I am so excited to get the squares done so I can get a quilt together. I made Elizabeth's wildcat, but it is about 1/8 short after I squared it .
I also have my fabric laid out for the depression block, just need a few more beiges. It will be fun to have enough fabric to do a matching block.
I would take pictures but I have to wait for my batteries to charge.

I'm glad you like it joannl, since the pattern makes two the second one is in my pile waiting to become a perinatal quilt that I make for charity, I have great plans for it too. :D

Thank you for your kind words, DA Mayer. I'm glad you like the block.

I have Elizabeth's wild cat and squares cut out for depression block.

Ladies you all are doing great :thumbup: :thumbup:
Keep up the good work :D :D :D :D

Thank you DA Mayer, he's beautiful. Oppps? Perhaps the kitty in question is a girl? ;) My Sunny boy looks very much like your kitty. :D Thank you for the beautiful kitty.

Wow, who could ask for anything better? You wonderful ladies are sending me kitties that wont shed, wont eat, wont pooh, and wont make more kitties! What a deal for me. :D

Boy, do I ever understand that statement!!!! :lol: :lol:

And wouldn't trade brushing, feeding, cleaning the box..and well, the operation for anything!!

My Grandfather used to tell all of the "kids" wouldn't trade you for a million dollars and wouldn't buy you for a plugged nickel. :D

Here's 2 more from me.

Wow, those showed up HUGE!! Is that OK?

Wow what nice photos you took! And how about all that pink, did the lady at the LQS think you were making a baby quilt? ;)

AnnMarie--Looking goood!!! I am sooooo very excited. Love my block and your pinks.
:D

Those last 2 blocks look just great! They are the 2 that I haven't done yet...well, actually I've done the cotton blossum several times...still don't have it right YET!! :oops:

I have finished Sandpats block. I hope you like the red color.
Nellie~ here is your block, fall fancy.
Quikting Turtle ~ Clover Blossom, was fun to make. I hope you like the
color choices.

Donna

Ladies you are all doing fabulous :thumbup: :thumbup: :D :D

oh my, such beauitful blocks ,all you ladies have done such wonderful work on all the blocks thank you so much i really really appreciate all your hard work that you have put into making my blocks thank you

Donna, those are great!

Donna, my block is beautimus!!!! Thank you! I said scrappy which means any color is fine with me, so yes, the red is very nice! You did a great job on everyones block so far...I love to look at them all.

Sandpat~ I thought it was any color not scrappy. I can make you another using all different colors. My mistake.

NO, don't redo!!! Thats too much work! I can use it just like it is.. no worries!

I thought this thread fizzled out, but it was just me! I must have missed about 10 pages. I finished Colletta's Block over the weekend. Hope you like it.

mareliba

I found eyes for wild cat and finished the Depression block

Oh mareliba! It's not my block, but that is Beautiful and what pretty handwritting you have too!

LOL, LOL...DA Mayer, I love your cat eyes!

I found them in my button drawer, still on the card, can't imagine why I bought them.

Mareliba and Denise - those blocks are beautiful. The depression block is not depressing at all!!! LOL

Thank you DA Mayer, what a delightful expression for our little kitty! :D

beachlady, that is so funny because I told my sister last night I had to finish it because I didn't want to be depressed anymore. I really think that is one of my favorites so far, others aren't completed. :lol: :lol:

beauitful wow

Okay ladies the blocks are looking good : :thumbup: :thumbup: .

Be sure to stay within your measurements and color choiced for the blocks.1/4 inch seam, 12 1/2 unfinished block, no cut off points. All those things take practice and I am still working on perfecting those.

I had to take a block apart because it did not measure up to standards. Bummer had to start over :( :shock: :roll: :? :cry: :-o :x :? :wink: :oops:
I could not believe I made it wrong. :cry:

My Depression block is beautiful. It is exactly what I had in mind. Thank you! I love it when I get to see one of mine!
