Love today's block! Wish had time to make one before I leave for treatment this morning. Maybe I'll just go fondle the fabrics and decide which ones to use!:thumbup: Janet

I changed the blue to green.....I was getting tired of the blue, and I wanted a little more variety. How do you like it?

Fast, Jane! Beautiful block... love that center. Can't wait to get to mine.

Jane Quilter, Love, love, love your block! I have chosen green for my block, too. Hoping to get it done tomorrow. Janet

Very pretty Jane. Always nice to see someone changing things up.

Here is my #13 block, Double Star. (Made using some of my new greens.);)

It's really pretty. Looks like browns on my computer

Just Jan, your block is lovely. I like how you used the same green for both block and stars. Nice.

It's beautiful, Just Jan... I really love the block and it looks so good in your colors.

Thanks everybody. Mary, its dark green and I guess the little rust pieces may be making it show as brown, but there is no brown in it. What I called rust is actually a sort of rosey/rust color. The background shows up as gray on my computer but its also celery green on off white. Sure love playing with these greens! :D

Jan it looks really good. My computer is just showing it off color. I'm gonna try to start mine today.

My badly needed, new neutrals just arrived, along with one other green that I just could not resist! The last neutral has a tiny bit of green and red in the print.[ATTACH=CONFIG]576817[/ATTACH]Thought you might enjoy seeing them.

I went to the quilt shop today, to drop off quilts for a show next month. I got to shop for more browns! Picked out two pretty FQs.

Can we see them?:shock:

Pretty Jan. SewBizGirl I want to see too.. I worked on my block today, didn't get it finished.

Ok, I'll make my block today and take a pic of it and my new FQs.

Thanks SewBizGirl. I finally finished my block. Whew lots of points in this one. Mine aren't contest good but I still am happy with it. I just keep being tested on this quilt. lol I used a rusty color for the one red.:thumbup: :)

Sooo pretty, Mary. Your points look great to me! These blocks are making us better piecers, don't you think? Lots of practice.

Here are the two new 'browns'...

And here is my block 13. I love how these fabrics made up:

HEY! Didn't see my mistake(s) until I posted a photo! :D That's what photos are good for. Will fix those boo boos with the neutrals. I already have one 'humility block' so will fix these! :D :D :D

Thats the same mistake I made, Sewbizgirl. If you look close you can see a not so straight seam where I ripped it out, turned it around and re sewed it closed. Looks Like I'm in good company here...:)

We never would have known!

Me too! Luckily I caught my mistake as I was sewing it together!

I did the same and I think I will leave it. I'm just tired of fussing with it. I bet there are a lot of us. lol.

Very pretty fabrics I really like the flower one. I think this block is making us re-piecer's

FIXED! And Mary, i didn't even notice the mistake on your block.

yeah!!!!!! Looks great sewbizgirl!

Such a pretty block and love your new FQs. I'm making other CW blocks as I await the next block pattern. I've started a quilt for my friend's birthday the end of September. I'm going to make extra blocks from some of the patterns from this BOW, and I've just been playing around with some other blocks I like, as I see them online or in BlockBase. Here are three blocks for in "Gloria's Birthday Quilt." They are Farmers Daughter, Chinese Coin/AK Homestead, and Goshen Star. Mind if I copy your Double Star block? I'm sure I have fabrics that are pretty close to what you chose. Your block just seems to shout "Include Me, too!":D Janet

Pretty blocks, Jan. Yes, copy away...

Some beautiful blocks Jan. Lucky Gloria.

Am I missing something? I have had no notices from this BOW since I last posted on 7/22. I expected to see some new #14 Wild Geese blocks by now. Here is my block. I am also posting a block I designed (PaintMeJudy helped as I kept sending her arrangements and she helped me choose the final layout.) I am making two of each of these blocks, one for my BOW and one like it for Gloria's quilt. My #14 is not perfect, some cut off points, but it will quilt out! LOL Reminds me of the old song, "Close Enough to Perfect," by Alabama. My blocks are not perfect but its close enough for me!:p Hope you all like my new block, too. I named it Halo.

Gorgeous blocks, Jan! Yes, it's been a little quiet in this thread. But we got an easy block this week so I think we'll see some soon. I've been consumed with working on my Boom blocks, as the new Boom swap has just begun. I'm also still making pony quilt blocks. I'll get to my R & R block 14 soon.

Thanks for both the compliments and a fast response! I had my computer worked on and I was afraid something got screwed up. I then went to the section here for tech support and it told me to resign up for the news letter. When I tried it kept sending an error message. I just gave up and then your notification came in, so I guess my computer is OK now! Can't believe I was the first to post my block this week.
I do hope others are making blocks. (No slackers allowed! :D) I love seeing what they look like in all the different fabrics.

I am pretty sure I have them done but can not find where I put the pictures in my computer. In the meantime I had friends stay over for a week and not much quilting happened.

I'm talking about the block that came yesterday morning. If you had company you probably have not had time to make it yet.

Jan I love your blocks the one looks like it has shadows of color. Very pretty and interesting looking. Here is my block I just finished it. Had to run to town yesterday and do errands, No sewing done after. The nearest town is 15 miles away. I'm way out in the country on a farm. At my age I get so tired by the time I get back. I wanted to get this done before the new Summer Picnic block is emailed tomorrow. Thanks everyone for taking the time to post pictures and comment. :D:sew:

I made some ahead of time anticipating summer being busy. I normally do not use the pattern.

lawsonmugs those colors are stunning. Red, white, blue and brown have really grown on me over the last couple of years. My friends have to laugh because I used to dislike brown but now I am always on the lookout to buy some especially Civil War browns.

Love your block, Mary... pretty points!

Thank You Ladies. This one was easier than last weeks. ( It was a tuffy for me) Hope to see more blocks soon.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]577252[/ATTACH]Number 13 in both civil war and Fresh Lilacs. I'm having to pin everything to get it to come out.
