I got a total of 9 blocks made for a total of 3 hours. LOL!!!

I think I will make it a baby quilt, sew it together and add borders.
I still have to square the blocks up so please don't pay any mind to the uneven edges.

I think I will save the rest of the squares for a future 9 patch quilt.

Be honest and tell me what you all think. :D :D

The blue is actually purple.

I think it will be adorable for a baby quilt.

Nice work, colors are great

irishrose 05-23-2011 12:04 PM

It's purple on my monitor and it's also adorable. I like your layout. You do such a good job of choosing colors.

Cj, Love the colors. Looks great. :thumbup: :D

great job I am working on a memory quilt using this method....I found if I pin a bunch of them together it was easier to do an assembly line formation which seemed to be faster also

cjomomma 05-23-2011 12:08 PM

Thank you very much. I am really like how it came out, I am just not sure I care for the 10 minute block.

Very cute fabric for a baby quilt. I made a couple of quilts like this for my daughter when she was a baby. She loves them. However, she has ripped several of the 3D bowties. They got caught on furniture and stuff when she was dragging them around.
I had to wash them a lot. "Biological baby messes" tended to get caught in the pockets under the bowties.

pjaco 05-23-2011 12:12 PM

thanks for timing yourself. I count that as a warning for me that it will take longer than that!!

Cris 05-23-2011 12:23 PM

It is sooo cute even if the blocks took longer than ten minutes! :thumbup:

LoriEl 05-23-2011 12:24 PM

I like it.

EWWWW! Maybe I will sew the pockets down.

i love the colors!

Very pretty blocks. And don't ever think a block named in minutes is how long it will take most of us to make it. First off a quilter on Utube uses precut squares, that saves alot of time. Second she has the best equipment, and she makes the blocks alot before she times herself. I too am just making a lapsize quilt of big 10 minute blocks. I had to iron, cut, pin, tear out occasional seams,iron again, etc till I got each so named 10-minute block completed. I estimate about 20 minutes per block after I got good at it. LOL So you did great!!!!!!!!!!!!

belmer 05-23-2011 12:27 PM

I think it looks GREAT! Your hard work paid OFF!

Fabaddict 05-23-2011 12:32 PM

eeeeewwww, I was thinking about making a 3-D pinwheel baby quilt!

cj, your blocks are beautiful!

Cherylsea 05-23-2011 12:47 PM

I really like it and agree that you are very good with colors!

mamahippychicky 05-23-2011 12:55 PM

It's lovely, and the colours made me smile :)

Evelynquilts 05-23-2011 12:56 PM

Who would of thought it would turn out so pretty...great job :thumbup:

QuiltE 05-23-2011 12:56 PM

Nice for a baby ... and for sure a fresh Spring/Summer look to it.

irishrose 05-23-2011 01:08 PM

Carrie, I would sew them down for a baby. I'm thinking of making one for a 25 year old and I think I'll sew them down. I'd do the baby quilt square, not the turned back edges for the cathedral window look.

nana20010 05-23-2011 01:11 PM

well it looks verry pretty did a great job

Blue's quilting mama 05-23-2011 01:30 PM

Beautiful. Add another row of green to the right of the pink in the top picture. Then you could add another of the little squared in the middle of 4 of the big finished blocks. Lol aren't I a pain. I think it's adorable.

Homemother 05-23-2011 01:43 PM

My my my! I really like it, no matter how long it took to make these blocks! Eye catching - really pretty!

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

cjomomma 05-23-2011 01:53 PM

klgreene, I see what you are saying and it makes sense. If we don't get hit by severe storms then i will make another row and see how it looks.

purplefiend 05-23-2011 02:13 PM

cherrio 05-23-2011 02:58 PM

time well spent. very spring/baby. I showed my sister how to do one. 30 minutes and 40 cuss words later she rolled her eyes at me and mumbled "10 minute block my a@$". yea we had problems getting the middle to lay down and behave.

lyndaloo 05-23-2011 03:20 PM

Perfect for a baby quilt, so pretty!
