Okay I couldn't get the ombre idea out of my head, so I was stuck inside today w/ men working on lines in the back yard w/ backhoes and other big equipment so I had to try it out. (should have been cleaning, but we all know how that goes) My first thought was to ombre the same colors the bars going dark to light and the background going light to dark. But when I got everything cut and laid out it just looked jumbled not ombre'd. So then I changed it up to two colors. I like the effect pretty well and think if they were done so that the colors were alternated (purple bars on one block then yellow bars on the next, or whatever 2 colors someone was using) it could look really cool. Anyway not sure what I'm going to do w/ one orphan 8 inch block, in purple and yellow, but here it is. Oh and I included a pic of the back of the block just b/c I was so pleased w/ how it turned out too. lol lol lol

Gorgeous block ladies! I might have time next week to get my fabrics out. Thanks for making some great pattern choices for us. This 'sampler' is going to be beautiful together!

Gorgeous purple blocks - like Barb says 'I like anything purple' (or pink). Glad everyone is enjoying these blocks.

Can't wait to get some time to sit down and do them. I'm only going to have a couple more available for my real and red as I'm running out of fabric. But, I'll find a new color combo for the remainder of the year. 😀 Blocks look great ladies!

Here are my blocks I didn't enjoy doing the strips and squares. Pieces a tad to small for me. All of the block pieces have been smaller than I like, but I am having fun making them. Happy we only do a couple a month lol. They are a challenge for me that is for sure.

It is really cold and windy here. Even my snowman is depressed. I put some island clothes on him and put him in the sun

Oh those are pretty. and I love your Snowman. We've clouded over and quite windy and cool now. Guess we're supposed to have 'drizzle' tonite and tomorrow, still in high 50's/60. I need to post pic of my blocks. I got them made Thurs, forgot to post.

Pretty blocks, everyone.

Delphina: Small pieces are a challenge but your blocks look nice. I like your color combinations.

Hi everyone. Thanks Chasezzz for picking these blocks. Must admit that Broken Dishes wasn't a fun one to put together, had a bit of an issue with the middle blocks, but I do like the finished product (just ignore the loose threads) .

Delphina I do like your blocks, very nice. [ATTACH=CONFIG]569490[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]569491[/ATTACH]

Delphina and Diane your blocks turned out very pretty! It's been so much fun seeing everyone's blocks being done, all of those blocks are going to make beautiful quilts. Everyone has been doing such a great job!

Since I started my new colorway I have been playing catch up and doing the past two months blocks over. I'm almost done, just one more to do. Jan
