Affairs of the Heart - Block #11 Photos
#241
[quote=pab58]Okay everyone, here is my block #11. Now don't get too upset with me because I didn't make the lilypad (that's what I'm calling it anyway ;) ). I mentioned in another post that I liked the open/lacy look of most of the blocks so I wanted to keep that look with the "lilypad" blocks. :oops: :oops:
Pab58,
Your block is beautifull. To tell you the truth, I didn't like the lilypad but didn't think of your idea. I wish I saw your block before I did mine. Your embroidery is great too!. Give it a try at teh reverse applique, first time I tried it didn't come out very good but this time it came out nice. Go for it!

Heck Patty, I love your version of the block. I wish I had thought of it myself!
You do have options on the reverse applique if you want....I didn't do it! I made that block in 7"...I did it just regular applique. I posted at the beginning of the thread to tell you how. So...do reverse if you want to...don't do that way if you don't!

They definately will improve. I am busy sewing my middle together and I looked at my first blocks and I am happy to report that Ihave improved somewhat. anyways no one will notice, no one actually knows what they are supposed to look like

Well, I'm thinking that if I don't like something about each of the blocks I do and want to remake them, I would NEVER finish this quilt!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
I haven't mentioned this before, but I am keeping a journal of this quilt. My sister had given me a quilt journal years ago, but I already had an album where I was keeping my quilt photos, fabric swatches used in the quilts, and my design papers. This particular journal will have a pic of each block along with comments about my trials and errors and my successess, too. I am recording any changes I make to the blocks along with the block numbers (the one from the book and the one from the QB). I might not put fabric swatches in it, but I might take pictures of the fabrics used in each block and post the pic on the appropriate page. I'm hoping that by the end I will have a journal that will be a written history of my AOTH journey. Maybe some day when I'm gone my sister or nieces will look through it and remember me and my love for quilting. :oops: ;)
