Jo

for some reason, I haven't been getting my notifations about new post and I wondered where everyone was. anyway, here is my Hays Corner for Barb

Mareliba, your blocks are so pretty!!

forgot to post the picture!

Very nice Bettlove - love the fabrics!

Hey Bett, that block turned out really pretty with those fabrics!! Barb is a lucky lady!

I see my Goshen Star!! LOVE IT! Thanks ~D

I haven't gotten notices of these posts for the last few days either. :(

Sunday, 9/14: got an email notice this morning. Thanks to whoever fixed it.

CollettaKay and Mareliba:

Thanks for my card trick blocks. They look great! I missed when you posted, because I haven't been reading the board much. I hope to get back to making more blocks soon.

Debbie

I got two more blocks done

I LOVE the block you made mgrhs!!!! I cant wait to get them all in a quilt. Thank you so much, Very Nice!!!

Jennifer, DazzleMe!

I have to finish my blocks so I can post them. . Then I have to get my quilt finished for my grandson soon to come.

Nice blocks, mgrhs. Great fabric choices!!

Super job on the blocks mgrhs! I still haven't gotten back to mine yet...I keep dreading getting back into that darn cotton blossum block. I don't know why in the world that particular block is so hard for me!!

mgrhs, your blocks look great!
I have the fabric washed & most of it ironed for 10 blocks! It was really fun sorting through my stash for all the blocks!
Jo

Here is the Autograph Star block for Colletta. Hope you like it.

Where is everybody???

Very nice block Bettlove.

bettlove,
Great block! I am itching to start cutting, maybe this weekend. My job really gets in the way of my quilting! Good thing I really like my job!!!
Jo

I love my block, bettlove!

How is everyone doing on their blocks? I need to do 6 more. Hopefully, I'll get them done soon.

These are my last 2 blocks. This has been alot of fun and I enjoyed sewing new patterns. I will especially enjoy getting my blocks back! :D

mareliba

Really pretty, Mareliba!! You are really a fantastic quilter.
I only have two more to do and I plan on doing them this week.

Mareliba - the Goshen Star looks great - this is really exciting! Did you have any problems with the pattern?

I have three done, gotta get busy!
thanks!

The pattern was actually real easy. The only problem I had was with the points on the half square triangles. They kept coming up short.

I love your avatar. What is that pattern?

mareliba

Beautiful blocks Mareliba!!

My avatar is a "Mexican Stars" pattern from Southwind Quilts - dimensional quilting that looks really hard but is easy as pie. The curves are actually squares folded in half, then turned back and stitched like a cathedral window. Nine blocks total, plus borders - stunning quilt - won me several prizes including sweepstakes at my county fair and at our state Quilt Festival. Cash for quilting - love it!

Here's a link to the website for the pattern:
http://www.southwindquilts.com/Webpa...l-hangings.htm

I thought I was the only one who had issues with the half-square triangles... I have made a practice of stitching 3/16" seams whenever I have a diagonal (scant 1/4"), then I trim the block to size after I have pressed it open. I kind of wish the patterns on Quilt Blocks Galore all had measurements to square each unit before sewing them together.

Thanks again,
~D

Here are my blocks so far:

The housewife block is olive green and sage... just in case the colors don't translate.

Lovely blocks doowop.

Love it, doowop!

Hello from my kitty Dear Jane!!!

When making a quilt block or quilt there are no mistakes only opportunities to be creative****

Think unique instead of flawed*******

If I cannot find or remember where I put that fabric does it still count as part of my stash?????

Yea!!! I love secret santa!!
