I learned about a Color Blocks Quilt along - offered by Debby Brown Quilts. and I thought! I could do this and use my 5 inch squares and! make more Quilts of Valor easily....
So here are my 25 blocks for this months quilt - now I just need to start the setting of them, but first!
I had to work with the Horse Shoer, and ! I had to get groceries and! my mouth decided to have a crown come off, and of course - nothing in my dentistry life is an easy fix.... the 25 minute appointment to put it back on turned into 2 1/2 hours ( plus the hour of driving) and! I get to go back.... sigh.... Dentists are necessary - but truly... not my favorite!!
But my blocks are made and this evening... I am choosing a setting fabric and reading the next step!
Academic Quilter sent me a quilt to quilt - and soon she will be able to show it finished... but!
in the meantime - I get to share a photo of the quilting, because.... it was a truly fun quilt to quilt.
Isn't this such a pretty quilt? The solid fabrics are just so yummy and set with that pretty cream - I just love it!!!
Have a quilty day!!

Great job on the quilting designs, cant wait to see the whole quilt in a photo. I am following Debby Brown's scrap quilt program too but dont seem to get around to making her squares. i have been doing so much piecing this month but dont seem to be getting any tops completed.

Thanks for the post about Color Blocks. Looked it up and I'm in. Use up that fabric. Thanks again
ReplyDeleteSorry about the tooth. Dentists are necessary evils. LOL The quilting looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteI'm always jealous of those who have long arms and can do the beautiful quilting.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the dental woes. Hope it gets fixed quickly. Nice quilting!
ReplyDeleteOkay, how about I come stay with you in the summer months and bind all the quilts while you quilt all my quilts with feathers!!! Sounds like a deal to me. LOL Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe Color Blocks are pretty cool. Looking forward to checking out what the next step is. The quilting is pretty fantastic, she'll be thrilled!
ReplyDeleteFun blocks with the scraps! Your quilting is superb! You really nailed this one!
ReplyDeleteHow fun that one of my quilting blog friends is quilting up something from another quilting blog friend. The sewing world is small. Looks great! So sorry about the tooth. Necessary but never fun.
ReplyDeleteI like your blocks and look forward to seeing what they make. It sounds like we have similar dental lives. LOL. While I was waiting for the second appt. to replace one crown, another one fell out. Fortunately, I was able to get that one and it was just a matter of re-cementing. It's a good thing I really like my dentist and all his staff. =)
