That's fantastic, Judith! It's a gorgeous quilt and can see why it would be a favorite. It does help to stay organized, for me anyway. I've been watching the storms systems cuz my mom lives in the south...lots of rain for you guys. Be safe. It hit 111 degrees here today. At 4pm, it was still 105. Palm Springs hit 122...which is about 50 miles from me. We are dripping out here. I finished painting the guest bathroom and decided to repaint base boards in the house, too. Then, my back started to hurt so I sewed for a few hours. Still working on borders..but, also, another wall hanging....this time the duck from the same quilt pattern as the donkey WH I did for the swap. So cute. I'm going to have to break down and buy this quilt pattern. Now, I want to make the cow. Lol...Lordy..

Oh dear, we're having temps high in the 90s right now and not used to that! It's HOT so I can't imagine 111 degrees!!

Is everyone safe? I read about fires in California.

Teen, hopefully they didn't design a wall hanging for every animal on the planet :D :D :D
I'm working on a LTG block right now, slowly though. It's too hot to work hard :)

Great news Judith, you're better organized than I am :D

Only suppose to reach 100 degrees today. I'll have to get out a sweater. :D Anything up to 100, I can handle....but over, is a bit much even for me. No wild fires by me. I haven't turned TV on a few days with the DH down in San Diego helping a friend on his boat, so not sire about the rest of the state.

Painting more base boards today so probably won't get to sewing until later this afternoon. There are 12 blocks in the farm quilt, Anael. This duck is my last WH.....but, I'm still thinking about buying the pattern to do the whole quilt. Did you see the donkey WH I did for the swap?

I keep keep looking at LTG pattern and considering doing this one next...or maybe Happy Birds...:D

Yes I saw the Donkey and love it!!! I'm sure the duck will be as cute as the donkey :)

Happy Birds is a lovely quilt, I have the pattern as well as Happy Birds, My Small World, Bakers Dozen and Midnight at the Oasis. Oh dear, it's time temps going down as I have a lot of piecing to do. Don't start about all my UFO's !! I was tempted to purchase background fabric for one of the Jen quilts but I was a good girl, I didn't.
Anyone ever seen a Jen Kingwell with black/dark background? I haven't but it seems very interesting. I thought about doing Bakers Dozen with a very dark background.

I finished that LTG block but didn't start another block yet.

Our temps reached tripple digits today :( Not fun!!!

My body is so sore. Age is not being kind to me right now. I use to dance circles around doing stuff like painting etc. I have another bathroom I decided to paint, too. Smaller though, so that is good. Got lots of base boards repainted.. Yea!

Anael...let's see the completed LTB block you just finished...please please please.:D I finished the duck...just need to bind it.... Then back to GtSB. Going to work on that tomorrow and give my body a days rest.

So sorry Teen!!! It will get better! I looked around my bedroom this morning and thought it could do with some paint.....too hot :D :D
It's ok to take some rest!

I will take a picture, wait........

Oh....so pretty, Anael. These patterns, I'm finding, are great stash busters. My GTSB did make a small dent in my polka dot stash but, really, I need to make a bunch more quilts with this stuff to see a difference. Not that I'm complaining, tho...:D Since cutting into it, I now have a huge ziplock bag full of mini scraps....which I use for applique stuff. Feels like it's multiplying...lol..

Thank you Teen!

It looks like I still have the same amount of scraps.....I'm using some and making some more :D :D Doesn't help LOL. We could exchange our scraps or some of them.....would be fun! If only the shipping costs weren't that high :(

Working on 12 churn dash blocks, 3" finished. I never liked them and even less at that size but since I remembered owning the easy angle ruler it's a breeze :D :D 5 done, 7 to go!!

Here's the finished block. Now to decide what to do next.

Great blocks Anael. Those tiny churns are adorable. You picked awesome fabrics for them. And, your other section with the plus signs and the block are looking great. All the colors are so pretty together.

I know, too bad mailing is so high. Trading scraps every now and then would be a fun adventure.

Churn dashes are so cute, Anael. Love the colors... I don't think I have an easy angle ruler. How does that help with churn blocks? Sorry....I don't own any specialty rulers except the angle play I just bought.

Thanks ladies!

The easy angle ruler is very helpful in making HST the right size. When I need 2.5" triangles I just cut 2.5" strips and use the ruler to get perfect sized triangles without almost any waste. It's the only specialty ruler I have ;)

I looked it up and watched a YouTube on it. I'm going to get one. Very cool...Thank you!

i posted a picture of my duck wall hanging..

Awwwwwwwwww poor thing, all patched up :D :D :D
It's soooooooooo cute!!!!!

Thank you, Anael. Raggedy describes me so it fits..:D

I didn't have that impression but if you say so.........:)

I finished the 4 Log Cabin blocks tonight but it's too dark to take a photo so I will do that tomorrow.

you are moving right along with LTG? How much more is left to do?

Not sure, about half is done, maybe a bit more. Will see if I can take a group shot tomorrow.

I had a look at all the blocks, I'm about halfway. Started the bow-tie block but as it's past 11 pm here now I need to go to bed and try to get some sleep. It's still very warm in- and outside.......tomorrow the temps will go down a bit as we're supposed to get some very needed rain.

Love those little churn dashes, Anael! They are one of my favorite blocks. Like putting them on point...a whole new look!

This is what I have so far of Long Time Gone.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]598481[/ATTACH]

Anael, your long time gone is coming out beautiful. I love the colors. Do you live on a river or lake? It looks like it on the right hand side of your pictures.

That fabric is seriously adorable. It would look great with all Teens polka dots, stripes and brights! And, the Ragady Farm Quilt Blocks!!

Thank you Judith!!
No, that's my back yard :) I only wish I were near a river or lake!!

Oh..Anael....LTG looks beautiful.... I absolutely love it!! And, I love the farm fabric...so cute! The eyes and the expressions crack me up...:shock:

Thanks Teen!!

FabricShack has the fabric :)

Anael, That is the perfect fabric for Teen.

Took a detour today and finished up a couple of small projects...but I did make more stems and leaves for the border on GTSB. I miscalculated and had to make more......I'm almost done

I wasn't home yesterday. I went for a long ride, left at 8 am and came home 4.30 pm. Biked from 9 am till 3 pm :D Total of 94 km. All on my own, first time a really long distance without the moral support of my brother ;) I had a great time!

Here's one photo I took yesterday. I always wanted to do something like this! Nothing fancy though :)

Working on the next LTG block but it's warm and humid today. Not my weather!!!

I'm already planning the next JK quilt and was tempted to purchase background fabrics a few times but still didn't! Yesterday I saw a Midnight at the Oasis quilttop on Facebook and thought......oh that is what I was looking for. She used very dark background fabric mixed with very light. Looked really great so I think I will do that too.
In fact I had black/white and white/black in my shopping cart but didn't go through with that order. I still might...hahahaha.

Lovely picture..... And, good for you that you did the long ride on your own. So glad it was fun adventure.

You don't have to convince me about B&W.....those are my signature colors...lol... Midnight colorway you have in mind sounds really pretty. That's a good pattern to do that colorway.

More painting today and tomorrow... Master bed &'bathroom almost done.

Today I finished the 60 degree Triangles block. Done with those :)
What do I still need:
13 pineapple log cabins blocks
3 Crosses of the UK blocks
6 Courthouse Steps blocks
LOTS of flying geese
a few checkerboard panels

So still a lot to do for the Long Time Gone quilttop!!

Absolutely love the B&W choices. "click it!!!!" I'm such a bad influence. Lol... No harm in staging your supplies for the next project. I have a tote that holds my "next" projects . When I'm ready, I grab and whack away... It requires discipline to not whack too soon...lol....

And, you are very close to completing LTG. That's exciting...stay focused

Yes you are :D :D I don't have any discipline when it comes to not to whack too soon!!! So I better wait a few days before ordering.
Working on the first pineapple log cabins block now.

I'm thinking that my GTSB borders will be done tomorrow..latest on Saturday.... Yippee.... I'm sewing in the evenings after painting all day.....plus, doing trapunto takes a bit longer....

Can;t wait to see it!!!

My GTSB quilt top is done.....now on to quilting it... It is much more bright then the photo. I really like it...
