Nice! A good way ta post.:thumbup:

JeanieG 05-23-2012 10:15 PM

Oh my such pretty colors GrannyQ! Love them!

gardnergal970 05-25-2012 05:08 AM

GrannyQ....your fabric choices give the blocks such a different look! Both are really pretty. I'm learning so much by seeing how others put colors and their values together!

oksewglad 05-25-2012 09:04 PM

As Ggal said--your blues give a new interpretation to every block, GrannyQ. Another set of lovelies.

QuiltingNinaSue 05-26-2012 04:21 AM

Beautiful block, GrannyQ. Worth waiting for; love the block!!

Termi 05-26-2012 10:50 AM

I finally made the flying clouds :D [ATTACH=CONFIG]340011[/ATTACH]

QuiltingNinaSue 06-05-2012 04:27 AM

Beautiful; it looks like a flying cloud!!

gardnergal970 06-05-2012 04:28 AM

And Anael, you made it look like clouds! Very nice.

Anael 06-05-2012 05:33 AM

Thank you QNS and gardnergal! It's not a masterpiece, wonky and it looks like the weather hasn't been nice shortly before the block went together :D There's hardly any straight line!

dublb 06-05-2012 09:46 AM

I love how ya took this one literally! Lovely!:thumbup:

QuiltingNinaSue 06-05-2012 10:52 AM

Never seen a "straight line" in Mother Nature. Just in comedy acts. Please never look at my blocks for straight lines; between and the actual block and trying to take the picture, things just simply "move" wonky. That's my story and I am sticking to it.

Love the new 'eye' candy as it pops up during the week, then there is more to see and read all week instead of just Tuesday night and Wednesday.

grannyQ 06-05-2012 11:14 AM

Anael, beautiful cloud fabric in your block.

Thank you everyone for the nice comments on my blocks, really enjoying the pony ride.

Just what I thought too!

carriem 06-05-2012 04:50 PM

Anael--glad you were able to get the block done...like the fabrics.

Termi 06-06-2012 06:51 AM

anael, I love your cloud fabric! Nice job on the block and the blues are so pretty together.

QuiltE 06-09-2012 06:15 PM

Anael ... great cloud fabric ... and looks like there's some geese flying thru those clouds!

Even though we are not swappin' ya could join us. We bought the Farmers Wife Sampler Pony Club book & each of us are makin' these blocks tagether. I'm way behind so don't feel ya are all alone makin' these. We make 2 blocks a week. Ya could start where we are & catch up later. Some of us are makin a pony themed quilt, some of us are just makin' scrappy blocks & some have a color scheme. I'm makin' a patriotic themed quilt. We need all the trail hands on this trail ride w/us. Lots of jokin', lot's of country info, & some hard times. This has been a great experience for me. I've learned so much. Come on along w/us.:)

You know how the saying goes.."better late than never"!!!! JeanieG....when browsing thru this thread I remember what you said about the getting the blocks correct...I only had to rip out 2 sides!!! I starch all my fabrics before I start and hate when they get all soft from the handling...at one point I was taken back to the FWSQuilt_along and thought I was working on a 6" block...Memories! H

oksewglad 06-12-2012 07:11 AM

What a lovely block! Rich in color and movement. Makes me think I'm swirling up in the sky.
Today is a beautiful day with that clear blue that only comes in June, dotted by a few fluffy whites floating by.

janRN 06-12-2012 07:35 AM

Very nice--so much movement out of squares & triangles. Pretty, pretty color combo.

dublb 06-12-2012 08:06 AM

Lovely, lovely block Honchey! (Blue is my favorite color!) Nice contrast & colors. Your seams line up perfectly! Isn't it nice when it all comes tagether well.:)

QuiltingNinaSue 06-12-2012 09:11 AM

Lovely clouds, Anne. Every piece is perfect. I "reformed" by clouds and had solid borders instead of the pieced block. I am so glad we can each do our own block our own way in color and piecing and just have fun. Love it and love QB. Although the new posted privacy policy leaves some questions in my mind...cookies tracing where I have been?

carriem 06-12-2012 09:29 AM

Honchey--great block! Really like the dark blue...is it "flames" on the fabric?

Honchey 06-12-2012 01:29 PM

Yes, the dark blue has flames...I thought of thunderstorms when I found the scrap....Wow you guys give such nice compliments...I think I'll be late on purpose all the time!!!!
Nina, Please explain what you mean about the private message policy???

The compliments are well deserved ... and anything I say sounds like I am copying the others. I thought of fluffy white clouds. I loved the movement (and drama) the dark triangles created. Then the richness of the medium blue. As for the piecing, as always incredible work!



ditto ...
QNSue ... please explain!
All I can think of is wanting your BC cookies recipe, and for some strange reason, I don't think you are talking about those cookies! And yes, I still want to make those cookies! :D

dublb 06-12-2012 03:21 PM

I read those new policies & boy are they confusin'.

carriem 06-12-2012 03:23 PM

I just clicked on "read later"....I had quilting to do and needed to get my music turned on after checking posts quick. :)
