Cookie when we see your first 15 we will be able to see how well you have picked your colors. You have been selecting fabrics with a lot of contrast (as in both of these blocks) which draws attention to the pieced designs! Way to go.

Oh yes! I know CookieLM's blocks are going to look incredibly beautiful together! |
Cookie, I love your blocks and the colors you're using. If this was my first quilt, I'd have run when I saw the first block!! I think you're doing a super job and like QE said, we're here to help. Wow--I can't believe this is your first quilt!

Aneal - Such a pretty Clover Blossom! Those pretty little white flowers are just the right touch!
Windiq - The 4 blocks were 7 3/4" X 7 3/4" each. I don't remember what I subcut the 4 patch. I just moved the ruler till it looked right. CJ's tut is easy to follow. After I finished it I measured it & trimmed it down to 8 1/2 " Cookie - Such original lovely blocks! Great colors! First quilt! WoW! |

CookieLM ... you're doing fine! We only get better, if we keep trying and practicing ... so ... at the end of this trail ride, take a look at your first blocks and you'll see how much you have improved along the journey. Have you tried PPing? That's how some of us are getting our blocks looking so accurate. We're all here and willing to help you, just send some smoke signals!! :)

Everyone is so helpful, no matter what the subject. :) |
Cookie, the following video is how I learned to paper piece. Hope you enjoy!

Bev/Dublb.......Thank you for the block measurements. I just made one that will be a substitute for one I don't want to make...otherwise known as one with a "Y seam"....LOL! I did find a tutorial on the Anita Grossman site.....she did a quilt in that was featured in Quiltmakers http://makeitsimpler.blogspot.com/se...3A%20Arrowhead. I don't know if this will get you there, but I had just searched for Anita Grossman Soloman and then on the right side of her blog, I clicked on the Arrowhead block.....she shows how to make it with NO waste at all.....and it is easy to do.....

Here we go with my latest 2. The clover fabric was the first KT fabric I ever bought years ago. Just a FQ and have been reluctant to use it --you know how it is when you hate to cut into a fabric you really like. Well glad I waited cuz this was the perfect pasture to use it in. Now only wish I had more of it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]316913[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]316914[/ATTACH]

Gosh those are beautiful fabrics you using oksewglad! Great work!
|
*drool* *slobber*
All.Over.The.Keyboard! You're darned right, OKSGlad ... you couldn't have found better fabrics for that Clover Blossom block!!!! Now you have a challenge ahead to come up with an equal for the Clover Leaf that's coming up. Pretty decorative Corral! |
Love the bright colors.
|
OK - Such lovely blocks! I love your interpretation of 'em. Lovely colors!
|
"Thanks," she quietly says as she shyly ducks her head.
|
OK...you are using those Kansas Troubles fabric to perfection. So nice when you have an entire group to coordinate. I might try that with my next class quilt.
|
Ggal--glad you are not twirling around in the awful Midwest weather! I have also used fabrics from Jo Morton, Thimbleberries, Henry Glass as they fit into the colors. Takes the matchy matchy out of using 1 fabric line.
|
Beautiful blocks, OK. I love how your fabrics are soft yet show so much contrast. Very very pretty.
|
Cookie LM, I love the color combo's in both your blocks, they look great!! Your quilt will be beautiful!! This is my first real quilt too. I've struggled but learned a lot, not just by doing the blocks but with the help of the great people on this trail ride!
oksewglad, nice job on both your blocks and really lovely clover fabric!!! Wish I had some. |

OKSEWGLAD Your fabrics are perfect. And I love the way you and so many other's use the "rancher lingo" in your posts.....as you can tell, I'm just a city gal......on the outside, but not the inside....LOL!
|
Thanks wendi and Termi--one of the appealing qualities of KT fabrics is that you can select pieces (like the clover fabric) sold years ago and pair it with a piece bought last month (the dark green). I need to check a LQS, I think they have some of the clover fabric in their inventory yet. Next time I head south I will check it out. Are you really interested in it Termi? I could get some for you if they still have it. PM, ok?

Another pair of striking blocks. Wonderful color placements,Janie!
|
Worth waiting for Janie. Very pretty blocks and really nice contrast.
|
Thanks, Jan and ok. I'm playing catchup so I appreciated the relative simplicity of these blocks. Everyone's are so well done and the fabric choices outstanding.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]318287[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]318288[/ATTACH] As you mentioned in a later post ... isn't it nice to have some simpler blocks mixed in, once and awhile. We need them for a bit of a calming effect, I think., |

Remember way back when I was sick and did the Colt's Corral ... and knew I shouldn't have done it?
How's this for the replacement? [ATTACH=CONFIG]330340[/ATTACH] |
I love it!!! Who would've thought those calves could see between the fences? The yellow on the outer edges seem to attract attention to the boards.
|
Oh how cute is that block QuiltE! Just love the "peeping" cows! LOL
|
QE--great fussy cutting with the cows. :) I agree about the yellow on the edges...it really makes the center of the block "pop".
