Ahhhhhh thanks so much QuiltnNan!

You're welcome

I, too, wish to thank QuitnNan for referencing MacyBaby's My Small World ... She did a fabulous job with the pattern! Okay, I'm officially "hooked" ... After studying both MacyBaby's and Anael's wonderful quilts, I am going to order My Small World pattern today. I just love the way it can be personalized to reflect each quilter's style. The choice of fabrics sort of tells a story and gives the beholder a glimpse at the personality of the quilt maker. Oh yeah, I'm hooked!

LOL Can't wait to see your Small World Nita!!
I know I"m having a great time with my own small world :)

Sometimes..........you cut fabric, sew it, look at it and think......no, that's not what I want.....rip rip, next piece, same story........rip rip........3rd piece.........yes!! :D :D Dinner time!!

It's a quilter's lot in life....We know what we envision and seldom settle...at least that is the way it is for me.

Same goes for me. I won't settle unless I'm satisfied or know I can't do any better.

Next section (minus sky) is finished. I'm still not sure about the fabric pieces at the top of this piece. I still have time to think about it.

After ruining some fabric and making a block which was very out of shape I decided on this and I like it.

Ohhhh....I do too....so cute.. Looking fantastic, Anael...

And I changed it again. This is how it's going to be:

This little quilt has a life of it's own!

:D :D It does OK :D

Anael, great change ups. It's looking great!

Love the dotted house with red roof, curtains in windows and arched door! I can see that you have a fun stash to pull from.

How big are the size of each block? Looks like tiny work to me, but beautiful.

It is official: I just ordered Jen Kingwell's My Small World pattern/booklet Online from the Fat Quarter Shop. I am tempted to tackle this one before Gypsy wife ... Just looks like a ton of fun, lots of room to add my own touch of creativity. I am so glad that I discovered this thread, since I had never heard of Jen Kingswell before.

Nita...just saw your note!!! How exciting....you got the Kingwell fever! Lol... Eagerly awaiting pictures of progress..

Didn't get a notice there are new posts here!

Nita!! Can't wait to see your MSW blocks!! How exciting. You could do both at the same time. They're so different, you won't mix them up :)

Yes, Teen, I Did catch the "Kingwell Fever". Of which the only cure is to make at least one of her quilts.
Yes, Anael, I now have both the MSW and GW patterns. But I think that it would be overwhelming for me to tackle both at the same time.
So here's my plan: Hobbycat (Also a Q Bd member) and I are planning to start our MSW quilts in the Fall. We will agree to complete a certain amount of blocks per month. Then, thanks to SKYPE, we will touch base with each other on a monthly basis. Sort of a Quilter's Support Group, lol. I promise to share photos of my progress on this thread.

That's a great plan Nita! Does she share her progress here too?

She does post photos on this board. I will encourage her to "show & tell" the MSW as it comes together.

Yes please and thank you :)

Next section. Now I need one more section, almost all sky and the hills

[ATTACH=CONFIG]612088[/ATTACH]

It's going great Anael. Looks like you've been very busy.

Thanks Judith! I was busy but not with sewing! The weather was great here so I've been out a lot!

Looks spectacular, Anael. You are a pro at making Jen quilts. And so quickly.

Thank you Blue Bell!

Looks fabulous, Anael!! Another winner.

Thanks Teen! I can still mess it up :D :D

The start of the hills and sky. For the next hill I need 30 tiny hexies...........don't feel much like making those! Will have to think about that!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]612247[/ATTACH]

Anael, recently I made a shop sample that used "hills" in the border. The illusion was made by placing triangles in the corner of rectangles similar to this example I made up. Hopefully you can tell where the triangles are in each rectangle. You could play with the size of the base rectangle and connecting corner square to create this illusion of your hills. This illusion made its way up to a sky colored block. It may be as much work as the hexies!!!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]612254[/ATTACH]

Thanks for the idea OK! I made a clam shell block instead of hexies but I still need one more so I might use your hills :) The hills are round, at least the one Jen uses but mine don't have to be!

The open space on the left is where the 4th hill will be.

I would pull in a little green from the clamshell block and put as the upper right triangle of your "hill". I'd think about using two rectangles for the hills using some green backgrounded florals for a hill of wildflowers....just my humble thoughts! Love the clamsshells by the way...gotta get some thing done...thanks for letting me play with your design!

You're very welcome. You can play some more if you want to. I need lots of sky too :D :D You could play with the clouds!

Anael--what a fun quilt! I didn't go through all the pages so didn't see other's, but saw another familiar name so wanted to be sure to say "hi". Carrie in Iowa (from FWPC quilt along :) )

Hi Carrie!! Nice to see you here :) You're ok?
Thanks! This is a fun one to make!

Anael--yes I am ok. Life just got pretty busy for me for a couple years so I wasn't on the quilting board much. Kids are all graduated from homeschooling, caring for my 81yr old mother-in-law now as needed. I am working on slowing down again...which means more quilting Lord willing!! :)

Slowing down isn't easy! Take care of yourself!!

I'm leaving on Friday and will be back May 10th. Behave ladies :D :D :D

OK, I didn't make more hills and I might decide to do something else. I saw a finished top and that one has some great features. I asked the lady if I could improve my world using hers :) She said I could! So I started ripping some blocks I didn't like and seeing hers I now know why I didn't like mine. Same with the hills. She has appliqued trees and I like that much better!
