Great Blocks, thanks for posting the photos... I'm getting through projects...Sylvia is patiently waiting for me. I've been hand working a Xmas gift these last few days but have my machine ready to hopefully get back to these soon.
|

I'm working on H7 and look at the size of it! I'll be interested to see if anyone else has this one coming out so large. Thought I was making 1/4 inch seams: maybe not!
|
Thanks for the new assignment Anael....
sue z q hope someone can give you advice on your block as I'm still behind on mine and won't get to that one for awhile. |
Sue, the only thing I can say is rip and try again. It seems the triangles aren't the same size. I don't know about the size of the geese, can't see it.

Beautiful Mirabelle. I love your colour choices and fabrics!
|
Beautiful, Mirabelle. Wonderful to see your great blocks again.
I am still struggling with correcting my eyesight. I had surgery on left eye, and removed the cataract there. ther was a growth on the left side of the nose that the surgeon removed also. Waiting impatiently to get back into quilting...not yet. |
Great blocks Mirabelle!
|
Thimblebug, did you finish your Xmas gift? Can you share a picture?

DH made lunch so I could keep sewing, here are weeks 41 and 42. By gosh I think I am up to date woo hooo
|
WOW Mirabelle, you really are on a roll :) :) Gorgeous blocks ! !
|
Thanks Anael I have cut a bunch of blocks so plan on making some more tomorrow
|
You're planning on finishing this year? Including the appliqué ones ? :D :D
|
Yes sure am Anael, I have a big project I want to start in the New Year, so to have this one finished would be great
|
Finished as..............quilted and binded? Would be great!!!! Or like me, the top finished and waiting for more guts to start the quilting process!!
|
I went back and read thru many posts. Have taken notes. The blocks by everyone are AWSOME!!!!!
Sylvia is waiting patiently her turn in my sewing room. I am afraid I got interested in another quilt "Afternoon Delight" by Sue Garman it has 6 inch blocks also. It has lots of appliqué which I love. So I kept up to date on it. Still want to do Sylvia at some point. |
posted twice :D :D
|
Hi giquilt :) Great to see you again!! Sylvia will surface one day :D Have fun with the appliqué! Is that the OMG with lots of appliqué? I love the way she modified it!

YES :D The Energizer Bunny is back :D :D :D
|
Beautiful, Mirabelle. I will return to Sylvia some day. I've been working on some finishes and doing hand stitching binding. The whole stack fell over and said "me, too." Maybe I'll get all bound up by the end of winter.
|
:D :D Karen you make me laugh :D :D Just do what makes you (or your UFO's) happy. Sometimes you just need to finish a few things before you can make more UFO's :D :D
|
Is this thread going to go into 2015?
|
Yes it will. You can join us anytime:)
|
I love this quilt, but I've never made one with blocks per se. Could I do this with advanced beginners skills I have? I know how to use all the rulers, paper piecing (which I don't like), etc....
|
Yes you can. I started this one just after I started quilting, not a good choice but I really learned a lot. When you start with the easier blocks you can do it!
|
Would this be the correct book? I'll try to find it on prime I want to make a red and neurtral color Dear Jane type quilt. I saw one on a website on a BOM club that seemed ridiculous expensive. I wasn't sure if I could do it or not.
|
Page not found.......link doesn't work
|
Sorry. Let's see if this works: http://www.amazon.com/Sylvias-Bridal...=ATVPDKIKX0DER
|
Yes, that's the one :)
|
Rhondals, in post # 734 there's a link to a PDF file for block A10. You can try that one. It's paper pieced though......:)
|
Thanks! I am going to print it up and make it later.

Here is my Fool's Puzzle, I hope this is the right week. I don't know about the Energizer Bunny but I do know that I want to finish this project.:D
I have not properly pressed the block yet but who will notice if it is a bit off when it is sewn into the quilt. |

Anael, I also got my pillow finished for my friend for Xmas. It's hard to photograph but I'm happy with it... she built a huge sunroom onto her house & set up her sewing area out there....and her 3 cats...her favourite colour is green. [ATTACH=CONFIG]499808[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]499809[/ATTACH]
And the 4 microwave bowls are also completed this afternoon in between commitments ..... [ATTACH=CONFIG]499810[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]499811[/ATTACH] The dice one is for me and I bought the fabric in a neat little shop in Saskatchewan while on our vacation this year.... the eagle one is for DH and I bought the fabric in Bella Coola, B.C. in a little quilt shop in a trailer.... and the 2 cat ones are for my friend and her Sis. Hope it's okay to put these pictures in our thread here as I've been talking about what has been keeping me from Sylvia! |
