Beautiful blocks being shown. Anna, love the fabric selection you chose...so pretty.
Went to the quilt store today and bought some Moda fabric for the blocks I will be making. I may have to put the baby quilt I am working on now on hold so I can get my block made. Hopefully I will get to it tomorrow. Jan |
Annaquilts, Will you need four times the blocks to get to that size? I've always enjoyed a color scheme of purples/plums with greens. Your blocks are lovely together. I'd be tempted to just keep going. But sampler quilts are nice too. I like the challenge of making all different blocks.

That is a pretty block Sewbizgirl. I signed up, printed out the pattern and picked out my fabric for the first block but I have yet to get it cut and sewn. You'd think it would be easy to just get one block done----I can't seem to find enough time in the day. This BOW sure looks fun and I thought I could use up some of my CW fabric which is my goal. I even have a little folder with see thru protective pages so I could keep everything in one place!!

I do not think I need four of each but plan to make one to four of each. I so think I will change some things too. I do plan to make all same blocks or variants. It will be fun to do this together. I have not yet figured out how many blocks I need but if I decide to skip making a border, it will be a good number.

Just caught myself looking at CW fabric online but I need to STOP THAT and stick to using up some of what I already have. If anyone is looking for fabric, our semi-local "Stitch N Frame" shop in Vicksburg MS has a huge selection of CW fabrics (of course!) and has them on sale right now. $7.90 a yard and you can buy as little as 1/4 yard. They also ship to Canada and international, if you are willing to pay for it. I don't know how long they will have them on sale... https://www.stitch-n-frame.net/produ...reproductions/ (no affiliation). |
Great blocks each and every one of them!! Love seeing what fabrics everyone is using .

SBG, A nice link! The shopping cart didn't work for me, I was trying to load it up with neutrals, probably just as well! I tried to put stuff in a wish list and couldn't figure that out either. Plus, the site worked so slowly that it was easy to give up and go back to ebay. lol I usually don't go for fabric that's more than $5/yd.
But with this quilt project, I like how she has more of a scrappy look for her background neutrals... If I resist buying, then I'll just use my neutrals that are not CW. I just sort of dislike making an effort with the CW look, only to mess it up with fabric that doesn't seem right to me. If you don't sew it the way you think it seems right, then you usually end up never really liking the result. |
OK sewbizgirl there is hope for me getting the first block done then :) My daughter and 3 granddaughters live with me and I sew on the dining room table so my time is also limited like when they are in school. I am determined to get this done. Thanks for the encouragement.
