Whew! Every which way but right way down to the last seam of EM. Doris was a sweet one to do. So happy Em is done, too.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]535470[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]535471[/ATTACH] Weather man is like the little boy who cried Wolf repeatedly when there was no wolf to see....'severe storm warning' so far is a big fat zero...no rain, and no wind, sunshine is shinning.

Love your blocks, QNS. Doris is almost Christmasy and Em very pretty. Thanks for your compliments on my color choices--that's the hardest part of quilting for me. I'm pretty confident in my sewing/piecing--but picking colors takes me longer than making the whole block. And I'm still not always happy with my choices. That's why I like these quilt alongs--it's nice to get someone else's thoughts and encouragement.

Thank you JanRN for your kind words. the photos changed some colors in Em, the 'pink' looks red in the photo, but so be it. It is done.

The storm never came in like they predicted, but we did get rain no hail no tornado here Any body else have Doris and Em ready to show?

Jan I love your batik choices. I would never trust myself to do an all batik quilt. All my colors would be dark. But yours are bright and I like the purples. I like how the white square almost looks 3 dimensional on Em. QNS your Doris does look Christmasy, love it!

Thanks, Pam. Maybe I was thinking about Christmas year around fun.. reading Christmas story novels. LOL!

What a nice variety of fabrics...Will we ever get over our amazement at how different the blocks look with our fabric choices. Must say the umbrellas are sew cute.

Dare not use an umbrella today...gusty wind blowing through..Work today...have a good one

I was beginning to doubt whether I'd ever finish Em. Whew! Not the most difficult so far, but certainly the most time consuming. Such pretty fabric in everyone's blocks this week. I think I have some scraps of that umbrella fabric somewhere. It's in the quilt on the guest bed, so I must still have some tucked away.

Kakybob, another neat set of blocks. Yours really look like the sample in the book. We are one third of the way done with this project.

Like Jan (but unlike Givio), I'm not too hot at choosing fabric, so I'm pretty much selecting fabric based on the book. There sure seems to be a lot of orange in the samples.

Me too Katybob and I feel like there is more than a fair share of blues in them.
