Quilt'nBee.com did a block of the week? with Bible blocks named after women called "Women of the Bible" the blocks are different sizes and have a story about each of the women...I downloaded every block...I'm not sure if I want to do another quiltalong..That said, maybe one of the group here would host it?

Here is my Mother block, but it sure is wonky.

I didn't get a good picture, because it looks like I cut off some of the lower corners, but it's a full block. It's jjust wonkly in the middle. lol....

I don't know why my pictures turn out so big, because I resize them.

Great job, JuneBillie! I love your fabric -- especially the dotted black with the yellow flowers.

Pam P

Me too! I love that fabric. Great block Susan!

JuneBillie

Thank you.

Love your block, Susan... and your vintagey fabrics. That block was HARD. But it's going to look great in a quilt.

When I get to Paducah I'm going to be on the lookout for some more reproduction 30's prints. I have lots of colors but not much in neutrals or white backgrounds. I also hope to find more solids in the right colors to use with these prints. Most of the blocks seem to have one print and two solids.

Honchey, I'm sorry to hear that you have lost interest in this project. But if it's not floating your boat, I can see why you'd want to move on. I love making these complicated little buggers. It would be so easy to stay up all night sewing, as I get so engrossed in them.

Sewbizgirl, I need to pick up more solids too. I've got to get by a fabric shop. I know I will want to pick up a few more 30's fabrics too. I will be trying to use pieces from some of the fabric I have already used in a future different block. I think it will connect good like that.🌻

JuneBillie, great choice of fabrics on this one, it looks really good. I'm procrastinating on this block. To me, it looks like, "ok, is this one worth the effort?" and "All those tiny triangles in the middle..." and "Maybe I'll do a substitute." I just keep putting it off-- and tomorrow is the posting day for next week already. I'm going to be behind. All weekend I sewed until my back hurt, I made a top nearly from start to finish, all because I'm procrastinating on Mother. And the name of the block doesn't help either. *little smile*

I thought that too, Givio! "Mother" really was a mother...

JuneBillie

Make it three. I thought that too with Mother. lol... Now if one of these next blocks are full of y-seams I may start putting it off. hehe.. I will have to look. After all I have plenty from the start to do anyway.
