Thanks. This Bee quilt is going to either a hospitalized transplant patient, or a teenage girl in foster care. I have already donated the first Bee quilt, to the same recipients. So y'all's blocks are going to great use!
I'm having a hard time giving this one away, as I really love it. It's brighter and happier than in the photo, which is a bit washed out. I was going to keep it, but then thought where will I put it and what will I do with it? I have so many quilts... best to pass this on to someone who needs to feel remembered and loved. It's a beauty tho. Y'all did such wonderful blocks for it. And using the setting NZQ used, I was able to get two good sized throws out of them. Win!
Juana, thank you for saying such nice things about my quilts.

Starting my day off with Star Boom blocks. I spent some time last evening rummaging through my patterns and stash to make decisions about which pattern/fabric would best fit. This seems to be what takes the longest for me. I got 5, or was it 6, little piles ready to go for this weekend.
A bit of breakfast and she's off!

Terriamn - love when the houses have pictures in the doors/windows - makes a person want to look at each house individually to find the surprise!
GramE - what a change in your feet ! And the rainbow was Him shining on you
Here are two for NZQuilter. I recall you saying something about stained glass look so tried in that direction. Loved your homemade fabric

Rainbows, I love that He sends signs when we truly need him. I know he did when I needed reassurance at a low point in my life. My sign helped me pick myself up and keep going. I found a new faith at that time.

TravelingGramma, I love these stain glass blocks! Thank you!
Such cute little houses, Terri! I would love to live in that neighborhood!
GramE, I'm glad your procedure went well and so far seems to be working out well! I only got one block made up this afternoon. "Ribbon Star" for LogCabin. I hope you like it! I had to pick out a few seams and my math kept not adding up, but in the end it measures just right! Love your hummingbirds!

Hav, I always love looking at your blocks, they are all fantastic.
lol, Terri! Those are your color choices per your little samples in the baggie. I considered using a lighter brown but this one was a close match to the sample.
Hav, lovely block for Terriamn. I really like the pattern of this one. I’ve been perusing my 50 Pp’d stars book tonight. It’s time to make something new using some of those patterns.
Well, I looked through my quilt tops tonight, not including some old boom blocks and depression blocks still to be made into a flimsy. Omgosh, 17. 17 tops to be quilted! That’s outrageous. How did I ever let it get so bad? I am flabbergasted and I fear there might be another one or two I didn’t count! I am aghast!

Hav4boys, your blocks are always stunning
Lovely blocks everyone. I like going to the website Janice has set up and being able to look at them all out once. We have a real talented group here, and I know I'm going to get back nice blocks.
Figured I better get caught up with posting finished blocks. I'm having so much fun with these! The recipient name is at the top of each photo.

Beautiful blocks, fantastic job.
Macy- you outdid yourself with all those lovely blocks! I love mine, thank you!
And Hav, ditto!!!!!!!! I can't wait to make the quilt. So many interesting blocks.
I get a lot of inspiration on this thread. Thanks, everyone.
I'll get my I Spy block pic today. I've been doing some Spring cleaning.Need to tackle my sewing room. See you all in10 years!

Great block, those points amaze me. So pointy.
DH and I have been watching the eagles too - very fascinating to see how both parents take turns on the nest, and interact with each other.
I've got a few more blocks done today. The ones I have left are black/dark backgrounds so I'll be switching over to black thread. I've got two March BOM blocks cut and waiting as they also are sewn with black thread.
The blocks are for Lstew2212, Janice McC and AnnaQuilts.

I went to Joann's yesterday to see what was available as they are closing and everything is on sale or clearanced. As for fabric, you have to buy two yard minimum, and it is 20% off right now. I only bought a little Halloween and patriotic fabric. I did buy some white TOT to replenish that color. Yarn and yarny supplies were depleted. I bought some thread to stock up. Nothing worth noting as of yet.
Thought I would let you ladies know......
