Here is my Love in a Mist for this week

Anael 11-30-2014 12:09 AM

Great job Mirabelle. This wasn't an easy one!! Love the colours you used.

mirabelle 11-30-2014 05:41 AM

Thanks Anael, I didn't have any problems with this one it went together really easy, or maybe I am just getting better at Y seams.:D

thimblebug6000 11-30-2014 08:29 AM

What a gorgeous block!

Karen G 12-01-2014 05:38 AM

Awesome, Mirabelle!

I proudly present you my latest quilt top: Sylvia, the Farmer's Bride :)
I started a second Sylvia but didn't want to finish it. I also started a FW quilt but I'm not too fond of the blocks. So I decided to make one quilt with the Sylvia and FW blocks. There were just enough blocks to make this quilt. Here it is. It still needs to be quilted though!

Anael--what a pretty quilt! I like your alternating blocks/border...would love to see a close up if you have a chance. :)

Thank you Carrie! Here's a close up of one of the corners. I think you want to see the border/block fabric?

Thanks Anael for the close up. It is really pretty!! All the colors tie the blocks together nicely.

mirabelle 12-08-2014 02:24 PM

Oooohhh Anael such a pretty quilt and that border fabric is awesome, brings all the colours together. Now to quilt it and you will have another ufo finished. haha

thimblebug6000 12-08-2014 09:41 PM

What a fun idea to meld them together, great job!

Karen G 12-09-2014 07:00 AM

Very nice, Love the border fabric and the way you used the 9 patch blocks.

sue z q 12-09-2014 01:08 PM

Question about K5. Has anyone drawn it up in EQ for paper piecing? I make up kits for the blocks and I passed over it till I could check with the board. Overwhelmed by all those tiny pieces.

Here you are sue z q. You have to print it twice in order to get all the pieces you need.

sue z q 12-09-2014 03:26 PM

Anael, thank you for the pdf. I really like your completed combination quilt too!

I had said that I would like to finish my Sylvia by Christmas, this year has been really hectic for me so wanted to have at least one finish. For the past 2 weeks I have worked on this every day and today sewed the final border on.

I chickened out of the last 2 applique blocks so found a substitute for them in my Farmers Wife book.

I will quilt this in the New Year at my LQS on her longarm.

Thank you so much Anael for hosting this sew along I have enjoyed every minute (except when I fell behind) hahah

Anael 12-10-2014 12:03 AM

Ohhhhhhhhhh Mirabelle, it's gorgeous ! ! ! ! ! Such an accomplishment! Love the borders and love the way you used your constant fabric. Are you going to use an overall design or quilt each block different?

DottyD 12-10-2014 12:14 AM

Wow - that is stunning - the colours are so nice - congratulations !

Anael I will do an all over design, it would take me too long to custom quilt it and I don't think my shoulder is up to it. Lost of aches tonight after lifting and moving the monster through the machine today.

Mirabelle, your SBS quilt is gorgeous! and maybe there is hope for me! I am hoping to get back on mine after the New Year, but am I really that far behind? Anael, have you assigned ALL of the blocks?

Blue Bell 12-10-2014 02:14 PM

Mirabelle, Your quilt is stunning. Your background fabric was an excellent choice. It is a spectacular quilt. You did a great job.

No we're still working on more blocks... Anael is probably going to post some more soon though ;)

Anael 12-14-2014 12:48 PM

:D :D Thanks Thimblebug, I did see the question but forgot to answer. I'm sorry!
I will post the new assignments today.

Anael 12-14-2014 12:52 PM

Because this time of the year everyone is very busy I post only one block a week, two weeks.
We'll start again in the new year with two blocks a week. I think you all agree :)

Week 47
H 5 Sylvia's Shooting Star

week 48
G 9 Modern Tulip

Good luck all, have fun.

Even though I have finished my top I will continue to post the individual blocks for you

I thought I noticed something not quite right but didn't know what it was. So I looked at the Shooting Star and it seems you turned around the left bottom piece. Mine looks like this:

Unless of course you did it on purpose because you like it better this way.

Anael 12-14-2014 11:59 PM

I just realized your top is finished ..........

mirabelle 12-15-2014 02:29 PM

Nooooo I did it w.r.o.n.g. maybe I will unpick and fix it and maybe I won't, mine can be a little different right haha. I think towards the end of 140 blocks I was just cutting and sewing and not paying much attention.

Anael I really like your block

thimblebug6000 12-15-2014 06:32 PM

Thanks ladies.... won't be doing any stitching this week as our quilt party is here tomorrow etc..... BUT.... I will prepare the directions for these 2 blocks and thank you!

Hey all. Beautiful new blocks being posted. I started in on Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt, while trying to finish up Son #4's music quilt for Xmas. Definitely wanting to get back to these blocks but I think it will have to wait til after Xmas. I picked up Mom from Iowa & drove her out for Thanksgiving and it's nice having her here, but I don't get to spend near the time I was getting used to in my studio...

Anael 12-16-2014 01:50 PM

Love your music quilt auntjo! Did you design it yourself? The quilting is great!

mirabelle 12-16-2014 02:05 PM

What a beautiful quilt Auntjo, the quilting design is perfect for it

thimblebug6000 12-16-2014 06:56 PM

Gorgeous work! I'm doing the mystery too and it's taking a huge amount of my time! But ..... I'm not complaining...just sayin'.....:p

is it too late to want to participate??? I'll be a little behind...have to make a purchase of some fabric (not enough fabric in the colours I want), but if its not to late I promise I'll be diligent and catch up!! :)
