ArteEmCasa...your blocks are always so perfect! You have perfected the workmanship part of this pony ride!

QNinaSue...the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence...you captured that completely in the corral block. Thanks for sharing your memories with us. Are you copying them into a file you can write out for your children?

You are quick to see the point, gardnergal. Every critter we owned seemed to have that thought in their minds. I have given thought to writting down family memories. Will see what develops in the future. Enjoy sharing them on QB.

Love the difference on each block each week and the beauty of each one on PQ as it was on FWSQ. A highlight of my week to see everyone's success and their making it "their" block.

Anael - Such perfect points & lovely fabrics = a beautiful End of Day! Great substitute! If it doesn't fit your quilt then don't use it! It's your quilt!

Gardnergal - I ordered the Betsy Ross collection the day after I ordered the PC book. If I had seen the book first I would have picked out a different theme. After the first few blocks I realized that I didn't have enough so I started picking up more fabric a little at a time. I even ordered some more last week. I saw a panel with an Eagle in the center that I think will be the final touch! I think that except for the fabric I want for the attic windows I've got it all. I am using all of the fabrics several times.

Art - I can see the corral! Very pretty! Your green flowers look like clover in your Clover Blossom! Beautiful block!

QNS - That yellow makes your Clover Blossom glow! Your unique insite is showing in your blocks! Grass in a corral, who would've thought? You that's who. My thought was 'Duh why wouldn't that have occurred to me?' When I make this quilt with the pony theme (in a few years) I'll have a better idea about how to do it. I love hearing your stories. They make me smile!

Ok, I just got around to fixing my Clover Blossom, so here are this weeks blocks. I did not follow the "theme" for Colts Corral, but am happy with the block anyway!

Jeanie, those are great blocks! I bet your going to be happy about your Clover now that you fixed it. That brown is awesome with all of those clover in the background. The red & blue horseshoes & boots make a great contrast with each other.

Well worth the wait, Jeanie. Great blocks with lots of contrast. Love your fabric choices, too.

More fun fun blocks!
Anael a beautiful End of Day--so soft looking
ArteEmCasa what a striking corral and I love the little clovers, too.
QNinaSue yup grass is always greener on the other side and this would sure tempt a young colt. I love how the clovers from the green fabric just float into the white as if they were appliqued on and not seperate pieces of fabric. You never cease to amaze us.
This morning get a phone call--"G, just drove by the neighbors (on the other side of the hill), looks like about 20 heifers out on the road." Well you know what that means--dash and run to the car/pickup whatever. This particular group of heifers have been the worst. We name everything here and "Defiant" is a class one "jumper". DH is sure she is part deer as she goes up to the fence and jumps like one. Of course taking fence with her and letting the rest waltz right on through!! Note to self: Watch what you name those little ones when they are cute with those big eyes looking at you!
Jeanie you've got exploding clovers and a boot kicking corral!!
Can't wait til Saturday night for some sewing time.

ArteEmCasa, your blocks look perfect!!! Nice contrast in colt's and your clover has very pretty shades of green!

JeannieG, love the brown in your clover and the cute clover fabric. I like the red and blue in colt's. Both look perfect!

QuiltingNinaSue, love the color combo in your clover and the great fabrics in your colt. Also, like your story about the mares and foals when you were growing up. That must have been so cute!

Jeanie..love your blocks.

I thought I would work on my blocks today but my DH is already working to fill in the edge ceiling tile in the kitchen. It takes about 1/4 of a block so there's a lot of cutting and fitting. He injured his back years ago so everything takes longer and gets done when he feels good. Glad he's feeling good but....oh well, it will be nice to go on to the next step of redoing and quilting will get done in between.

JeanieG ... love those Kickin'Cowboy Boots in the Corral ... and nothing better than a field of Clover!

OKSGlad ... arrggghhhhhh!!! Nothing worse than a "rodeo"! And there's always a Leader of the Pack! We used to have a Spring, who had springs in her legs, we swore! Although, there was also a Chrissy, which became known as Kissy Chrissy, as she'd turn while being milked and give the person doing the chore a nice big slurp .... often taking his/her hat along with that long tongue! Great name, Defiant ... hhmmmmm, a name like that make me think that perhaps you name yours much like I did?

GGal ... hope the Mr. FixIt day went well ... and that there was harmony in the household throughout!!

QNSue ... your originality and creativity shines out yet again! Love that grass and fencing!! And of course, the intended pun is priceless!

ArteEC ... WOW! for someone who says she can't find fabrics easily, you seem to be showing some pretty nice blocks and fitting in with the theme! Your clover fabrics are beautiful ... and the block too. And I'm envious for those boards!
