[Linnybelle]

Here's mine!

Received fabric from:
Gingerquilts, summertimerolls, ritapizza, shout4joy, 1boy1girl1kitty2, j_q_adams, simply sandy, sloth003, chinarockfishakem, marmish, and malisha.

Sent blocks to:
Gingerquilts, ritapizza, shout4joy, sloth003, malisha, marmish.

Here's my test block with my fabrics:

It's from Quilter's Cache and called "Carolyn's Star"

Ritapizza's block:

It was hard to get a good picture of this one.  It's been dark and raining forever and some of the fabrics got washed out by the flash.  I used the striped fabric for the little star inside the big one.

Gingerquilt's block:

My seam puckered in two places and I couldn't get it out, so I might try and redo those seams before I send it.

Shout4joy's block:


Marmish's Block:

I wanted to use all the fabrics and a log cabin just seemed like the way to make sure they were all seen.  Also, I'd forgotten how much fun they can be to make.  

And I did remember..  Malisha's block:

The one side is just wrinkled, not crooked.  I was taking the pictures quick and didn't realize it was wrinkled.

And back to Carolyn's star, this one is sloth003's block.

I love the bird fabric a lot.

Here are my latest three.  I think I'm waiting on one more package of fabric.



11.11.09
FIRST- this is more of a confession than an update.  I messed up big time on our wonderful organizer's block and went through 1 and a half very VERY unsuccessful blocks.  I ended up making a simple nine patch b/c at that time I was running out of fabric and wasn't about to cut one more triangle that my machine was eating the corners of.    I'm very sorry.  This block technically meets the  standards, but I'm not proud of it.  


And for Marmish I used 'woven ribbon' pattern.  I felt it was Christmas'y'.  I like the pattern so much though, it seems more my level, I'm going to make a few more like this one.

10.19.09
j_q_adams block

10.18.09
Here is the block for SimplySandy-it is a version of the ohio star

9.30.09
I've finished Ritapizza's block.  My picture is a bit washed out and the pink and white look almost the same-it looks a little better in person.  I had a HARD time with this one for some reason.  


And after my problems with Rita's block I had to go simple with the next one.  Shout4joys block is called 'chain' on quilterscache.com.  I like this one even though it is really simple.  



Ok, so I received gingerquilts fabric yesterday and decided to make her square this morning instead of going to the gym-shame on me.  Anyway, here is gingerquilts square, called greekcross


And this is one I tried with my fabric.  I have a little square that isn't quite straight, that I tried to fix but I don't have a picture of it.  



Here is my fabric- I still have to cut it, I'll do that tonight.  The final project will go in my family room, which has tan walls with a dark blue accent wall and leather furniture. And we have some red accent pieces in there as well. What do you think?  

[shout4joy]

My fabric are from this line: http://www.connectingthreads.com/collections/Sweet_Sour_Quilting_Fabrics__L107.html?intmedid=FabHome+SS

OK, I'll be taking stock of what I have and today (12/5) I'm sending out the last blocks *whew!*

10.25:
I was finally able to start working on blocks this weekend!

First up: a block for gingerquilts.  This block is called Frolic Variation and I found it on the McCall's Quilting website:
http://www.mccallsquilting.com/patterns/details.html?idx=8058



Next is a block for ritapizza.  This is the Double Pinwheel block, also from McCall's Quilting:
http://www.mccallsquilting.com/patterns/details.html?idx=8017



Finally, for sloth003, a block called Kaleidoscope Variation from the McCall's Quilting site.  I REALLY love how this block came out!  Time-consuming, but very much worth it:
http://www.mccallsquilting.com/patterns/details.html?idx=8077



11.8:
A few more blocks to share today!

First, a star block for SimplySandy.  I have to tell you all how proud I am of this block, because it's my first time ever paper piecing!!  I've been avoiding it for so long, but I was really stuck deciding on a star block to make.  Someone made this one for me in LQS3 and I've always loved it, so I decided this was the weekend to tackle paper piecing.  I LOVE how it came out!  The pattern is String Stars 2 from Quilter's Cache (http://www.quilterscache.com/S/StringStars2Block.html).



Next up is chinarockfishakm's block.  I am a HUGE, HUGE fan of the Anna Maria Horner fabrics that she sent out, so I wanted to make sure I could highlight them.  I decided to make a simple yet effective circle block, using a new curved cutting ruler that I picked up at Joann's.  I'm very happy with this one, too.



I decided to make another circle block for Shout4Joy.  Again, her fabrics and colors are so vibrant that they make a huge statement even with a simple design.  Hope you like my block, Joy!



This next block is for 1b1g1k2.  I knew I wanted to feature her quote square, so I just built the block out from there.  No pattern, just made it up as I went along!



Finally, I attempted another paper pieced block for marmish.  I decided to use the "Circling Geese" pattern on Forest Quilting (a great resource for free patterns, BTW: http://www.forestquilting.com/paperpiecingfree/paperpiecingfree_pg3.html).  Unfortunately, I think the design got a little lost because I didn't have enough of the plain white for the middle section, and had to use some of the patterned fabric.  I wanted the green geese to suggest a wreath, but I don't think I achieved that.  Overall, though, I think (hope) it will look nice in marmish's final quilt.



Just a few more to go!

11.30:

Here's my block for summertimerolls:

[SimplySandy]

Summertime - your fabrics are luscious!
