Block Challenge

Two more blocks done for my block challenge group. One more to do this month and then I'll post a photo of all of them done thus far.
Almost done with 12 blocks. Have to get an appliqued one done yet for Oct. I'm starting to like these 6 inch little guys. It took until I layed all of them out next to each other to see how they'd work together and I think it's going to be great.

more Block Challenge

Two more blocks done on my block challenge, so that makes this months complete. Here is one called Surely Ellen. and this one is called Crossed Canoes. yea everything was 6 1/2 inches! I'll be picking the blocks we do for the next month on Oct. 1.

Challenge Block

I finished the 2nd block of our Sept. picks for our Challenge blocks. This one is called sisters Choice.

Block challenge

I finished this months challenge applique block while in Mississippi. Here and there while Noah was busy I got a bit of stitching in. I substituted this block of another one in the book that I thought wasn't very pretty so I jumped out there with something different. This one came from a Kim Diel pattern. I think it will be pretty with the other blocks and I like it alot better than the swirl one we were supposed to do from the book. One more done.

block challenge

I finished the last 2 blocks for this months block challenge. This one is Mariners compass...This one was called Cucumber but we all think they look like pinecones. So my August blocks are done, we are on our way to tackling these small difficult blocks for a quilt!I'll be choosing the numbers for the next 4 on sept. 1st so we'll see what fun ones we get to do next month. Once I get a few more done I'll post a photo of what they all look like together.

Block Challenge

I completed another block for our "block challenge" group. Here is the flying geese block. These blocks finish up at 6 inches so these geese are itty bitty. One more done, one of the gals set up a yahoo group so we can all post photos so it's fun seeing how everyone is doing on theirs and how different they all are.

Block Challenge

Well a group of us have started a new Block Challenge to see if we can tackle a big project one block at a time. The blocks finish up at 6 inches and some have lots of detail. I will choose 4 blocks out of the book by random numbers and email them out to the members. We even set up a yahoo group to post photo's on so I'll also post mine here for my own journaling. This is the first block done, yeah! I'm using all civil war style fabrics with a variety on the lights too. It'll be fun to see how this evolves. This block is called Aunt Sukey's choice and it was fun to take time to tackle it and finish it up. Sometimes when you look at more difficult quilts you'd like to do it's a bit overwhelming so we thought this might be a way to get to it and some day we'll have them done. Everyone is doing theirs in different fabric styles so how different they all will be!
