Quilters Accountability Week 19

Whoopee!!! I finally accomplished something!! I finished the blocks in Step #5!!! Every last one of them, and there were like 400, thousand batrillion pieces!!!
-
So now it is on to Step 6!!!
`
I also finished quilting a Quilt of Valor. This beautiful String quilt was made by none other than the most famous QOV string piecer - Al Lind!

`
Goals for Next Week
1. Finish Step 6 of Carolina Christmas.
2. Start a set of 24 String blocks with Yellow Centers.
This is for the Heartstrings challenge. Our April May challenge was to use Yellow and blue in string blocks - and I am such a procrastinator( okay not really) that I am just now getting to it!

    I love your Carolina Christmas! I wondered what other color you were going to use. That is going to be one cool quilt! LOL. Congratulations on getting this far! Wow, it sure does have a gazillion pieces - that is why I haven't even started it yet!

    I adore the string quilt. Beautiful colors and work!

    I don't even have enough yellow in my stash for a yellow and blue string quilt. But my guild is having a string retreat this weekend (and believe it or not I am helping teach folks to make them!). I will be getting some stringing done this week! Woo hoo!

    Great job, Alycia! Can't wait to see what you have accomplished next week.

  3. "400, thousand batrillion pieces!!!" might be a conservative estimate.

  4. Love the blocks! They look a little like mine...they could be sister quilts! I have my one set of blocks sewn together and ready to quilt.

  5. Love the colors in your blocks! I just bought some lime green and black/white Fat Quarters---now think I should add some pink to the mix! Thanks for the idea!

  6. O.k. some of Bonnie's quilts do have a lot of pieces but you just know that's going to be a gorgeous quilt when it's done!

    Like you said on my blog, keeping it light, keeps it moving. Beautiful work and kudos for the commitment to QOV.
