Thanks Teen. I really appreciate everyone's help. Went to my grand-daughters wedding this weekend and I'm still tired. Maybe I can try tomorrow. MizGoodie love he hexi flower center.

Mizgoodie: Your pig put a smile on my face. So cute! I like your sunflower and the use of ric rack.
|
Darling blocks, mizgoodie! I love the fucia colors I piggy....and very creative hexi in sunflower. Nice touch!
|
Love both blocks for everyone, so much talent.
|
The hexi was a leftover block from a previous quilt and I thought, why not! Thank you everyone for the kind words.
|
I like how everyone has put their own personality into their blocks. I have trouble not following the pattern exactly so this gives me ideas and permission to be myself.

Hi "farmers"!!! Is anybody doing quilt as you go with these blocks? I finished the little pig and just appliqued it down on my background using stabilizer to keep things smooth and pucker free. So was finishing the sunflowers and decided I should just go ahead and put the batting down and applique with the batting behind it. began thinking this is missing something, so I called a friend and she asked what kind of backing was I using. Duh! forgot about the backing so now got to back up and make another decision. What should I use for the backing of these blocks? I definitely have enough in my stash to use all one color for backing but I can also use a different backing for each block, kinda tied to the main block, sunflowers to the sunflowers, some pink floral for the pig, etc. I think it will be a reversible kind of scrappy once the sashing is added and become another whole quilt. The sashing will be a neutral either black, gray, white...something in that realm.
Am I on the right track or have I overlooked something??? Thank goodness I am only 2 blocks in and can maybe get it right before I get too far along. Any suggestions or ideas will be greatly appreciated. Murphy Only 3 more days before the next block and I am trying to keep up....:confused::confused::confused: |
I love your hexie center, Mizgoodie! It adds movement and so much creativity.
Murphy, I started with every intention of doing this one as a QAYG, but so far haven't started. It's a technic I've been wanting to try for some time and I think this quilt is a great one to start on. Next block will be coming out on Monday! Wow, September flew by. |
Murphy..I changed the layout on this quilt or I would be trying QAYG, too, like NZ. I believe Judith is, tho. She's a marvel..
I looked today to see if new block posted early like Sept, but no such luck...dang.... |
I looked too, Teen. Maybe tomorrow.
