I’m in the home stretch, only 13 more blocks to go, here are a few of my favorites from the last few weeks.
Since this represents a spool of thread, the strings were supposed to be half as thin, so let’s just say my spool has yarn instead.
I enjoyed making these jars, with the snowball corner method, similar to the animal blocks Elizabeth Hartman designs. I’m in the midst of making a quilt with many of her blocks, that will be a separate post.
Here is an even better example, not Elizabeth Hartman, but what an adorable bird. This really is one of my favorite blocks.
I got reprimanded for this one, not the block itself, but because the original had embroidery in the center and I said, I’m done with all techinques in one 6″ block. People really like the moth. That is a scrap I got from an exchange at the guild. I really do like this color combination.
This was supposed to be EPP, sewn by hand. No, I don’t have the energy for that anymore with this project. So I made it by machine and the center is a little wonky. Oh well, that will quilt out and no one will be the wiser. I do like the colors!
There are quite a few stars among the blocks, which does make me happy.
The design wall is getting very crowded, this is just a random setting.
I’m beginning to think seriously about how I will put the quilt top together. At first I thought I’d group colors, now I’m thinking of themes.
This isn’t all the blocks, I’ve grouped by star, bird, heart, flower. I’m liking this idea, even if I decide to change out the groups. I will probably have a very narrow sash between the blocks and a larger sash between the groups.
Whatever I choose, I’ll be thinking of color placement as well.
It’s
