very pretty cc bear!

bebe 06-29-2008 11:49 AM

Cordelia wants black for background and her block in orqange and yellow brights batik okay. Block needs to be 12 1/2 make blocks smaller.

annmarie 06-29-2008 02:11 PM

Yes, Bebe, but the question is what part of the block does Cordelia see as the background? We don't want to put the black in the wrong place.

Elizabeth A. 06-29-2008 03:11 PM

Nice job ccbear66! I've got that one on my cutting mat waiting for my attentions. I would have sat down to do it this afternoon, but dd needed to get outside and play in the sprinkler, and then we had a whole bug wasp identification thing going on. Life never stops and certainly not for a mom! :D Did I mention I love the mom part?

beachlady 06-29-2008 03:25 PM

Love the colors ccbear. Won't it be fun to get all our blocks?

mareliba 06-29-2008 03:25 PM

Oh ccbear, I love it! It is exactly what I was hoping for. Wow!!! :D :mrgreen: :D

Oh barb, your work is beautiful! I love the recent block pic additions. I'm not sure I'll be able to wait until the end of this swap to want all my blocks!

Hi, everyone. I'm sorry my block was unclear. I like the Bambury Cross so much and the block at Marcia Hohn's site (blocks galore) is 15". That's the size I would like.

In the rules, I thought it had to be 12 inches, so I thought it would have to be sized down. But, since it can be the size it is on the site, I'd like the 15" size.

I'm posting a quick picture of my two colors: I guess now that I look at the design, it's hard to know what's the background. So, I sketched one up.

The orange doesn't have to be exact, I'm not picky about the color. That's just my idea of firey orange or yellow/orange.


annmarie 06-29-2008 04:10 PM

Thanks for the info Cordelia. I like the black like that. That is going to be one awesome quilt!

DazzleMe! 06-29-2008 04:12 PM

OOHH! That quilt is going to be awsome! I was nervous about down sizing your block. Makes me feel better doing it at the 15" size.

beachlady 06-29-2008 04:31 PM

15" it will be. Still need to find the right yellow/orange for you though.

Elizabeth A. 06-29-2008 04:43 PM

DDrobbin's your Goosecreek is done. I hope you like it!

The triangles around the light diamond are blue, and the other square that looks really dark with little flowers is forest green.

beachlady 06-29-2008 04:51 PM

Elizabeth, is there a picture?

Elizabeth A. 06-29-2008 04:52 PM

I fixed it. :D I just forgot put the codes in so it can be seen as a photo! :D

beachlady 06-29-2008 05:08 PM

Still don't see anything - is it me?

ccbear66 06-29-2008 05:11 PM

This is so much fun. I love seeing everyone's blocks. I can't wait to start seeing some of mine.

Mareliba I'm really glad that you liked your block.

bebe 06-29-2008 05:17 PM

LADIES,
I prefer to have all three colors in my block red white and black you can choose either a white or black for background.

bebe 06-29-2008 05:18 PM

Thanks for the block you made me Barbsbus!!!!!

Elizabeth A. 06-30-2008 12:57 PM

Assuming these want to post, I'm sharing more photos.

Colletta~ Here is your Autograph Star Block, I loved working on your block. I know the photo isn't great but my fabric is sewing notions complete with a little sign that says sewing classes beginners welcome that I positioned in the upper left of center. :D I know I haven't signed it yet, I have to make sure my prisma markers are the correct brand.

While I'm at it I'm adding Puzwiz's Card Trick Block. With this pattern the red, white, and blue is going to look great in a quilt! Truly wonderful combination!

Quiltwoman,

I love the kitty block. I'm going to have to hide this one from Rich (hubby) until I can get it sewed into quilt. He loves Garfield.

I finished another block, this time for Quiltwoman/Julie. I don't know if the colors will be right on the transmission but they are pink and black. My rug is grey but looks green when I put them in the computer.

Very nice Barb. I getting to like the pink and black look. I am sure Julie will love it.

sandpat 07-02-2008 04:10 AM

Another pretty block Barb. I was able to get to the quilt shop yesterday to get the rest of my fabrics. Now I just need to find the time to wash, cut and sew them. July is really busy looks like. The garden is coming in right now and we Have to get something done for hay for the cows. Hmmmm.....since we go outside from "can see to can't" not much sewing time I'm thinking. :cry:

quiltwoman 07-02-2008 04:24 AM

Looks beautiful Barb!

Sandpat, you should see mykitchen countertops. I haven't canned in a long time but pickles might just help me get rid of all those cucumbers.
My little guy loves picking the cucumbers and zucchini. It's like a treasure hunt.
Hope you get it over with soon.
