Plaid Patriotic Buckeye Quilt and !! Finished ( or not) Friday!!!

Wednesday Morning we woke up - and I tried to turn the water on - to no avail! Our Well Pump had died. For some reason that just threw off my whole day , and seemed to get my morning off to a rough start - I had to brush my teeth without water...

Well not totally true - we do have a lot of bottled water that we save and refill quite often - just in case. When the power goes out we also have no water. 

I also still had 2 quilts of valor to wash for the next presentation... that flustered me..

So I went quilting!!


I made this Plaid Patriotic Diamond Chain quilt - ( or Buckeye Beauty) and I think it was time to quilt it up!!! I Love plaid.... its just awesome!

Now you knew - i was going to have to make the girls pose! They are really getting the hang of it, and I believe they think it is expected anymore haha





It has been cloudy and overcast - but when I went to take photos the sun was so bright - it got hard to see the quilting pattern.... But yay!! this will go off to the binder... and bam!! one more will be ready to roll!


Just for fun - this is the hay field - doesn't it look so cool? ahh maybe not as cool in a photo as it is  in person - but the circles, I thought that would be a cool quilting design.

Patriotic Buckeyes

 Because you don't know a quilter who can only work on one project at a time...


I had all my Teal Buckeyes up on the design wall - and I thought - I need to lay out my Patriotic ones and see how many more I need to make -

The teal ones are made with 3 1/2 inch squares - so each half square is 3 inches before going into the block... the Patriotic ones are made with 5 inch squares - so each half square is 4 1/2 before going into the block....



Its actually quite a size difference!!!!
There is a Winery in Eastern Colorado called Country Roads Wines and Vines ( or Vines and Wines)
We headed out there Saturday to meet up with one of my kids and have a picnic!!

Selfie for the wine!! ... oh wiat!! THE WIN!!! the WIN!!!



Avert your eye if you don't like scary wildlife..  We were hiking and starting to think about rattlers - but I didn't think they'd be out yet.

But guess what!!! We found one right by our ARENA!!! Do they not know they aren't allowed!! Do they not read the signs, listen to the rants and the screams????

Patriotic Diamond Chain / Buckeye Beauty Blocks

You saw our last State QOV block  - the little log cabin. Those quilts are going to be great!

Our next block drive block we will be doing is the Buckeye Beauty / Diamond Chain Block.

I have been taken over!!! I started one of these with some of my Plaid squares, and then we saw Cynthias similar block and then... I got to thinking... wouldn't it look great in Patriotics ....


So I dug into my trusty 5 inch square bin. I got a little wild hair - I wonder if I can piece enough blocks to make one in all Plaids????



I am digging it - and by using it as leader/enders on my other projects - look what I came up with so far!!

I'm loving it!!! 

You use all 5 inch squares - so easy - here is the tute:

What is the Over/Under on if I can piece a WHOLE quilt out of plaids? ( with a few eagles for good measure thrown in?)
