Just wanted my followers to know that I have turned off the very irritating word verification. So if you desire to leave a comment it will be easier. Thanks.

A change of Heart

After turning my first Lily Rosenberry block on its side, the way it will be set, I have decided that it isn't that bad.  Perhaps when I finish the others I will decide differently, but for now it is a go.

 The background doesn't show up, but it is a light tone on tone from Mary's Blenders by Moda.

Being like most quilters, I have more than one project in the works.  This is a hand piecing  project.  The blocks are 3 inch finished.  I made my templates out of template plastic and I find if I use my 18m rotary cutter I can cut around them.  The pieces are small enough that I can just use the dots to piece them together.  This was started with a doll size quilt in mind but after making a few I found out just how fun they are to make, and I may make more but not the 810 blocks that the antique quilt has.  They are sooooo cute.:))  I will use a palette of pink and brown one of my favorite combinations.

 

Until next time.

New Fabrics

I appliqued my first Lily Rosenberry Block and I was not pleased with it so I am starting over.  My layover slipped and it was not real symmetrical.  Not a real good start for 2012.

But I did take advantage of Reproduction Fabrics Superbowl Sale and purchased these fabrics for stash enhancement.

and

How has your year started?

Until next time

The 2012 Calendar

I can't believe that it has been so long since I have posted anything.  But that could be because there hasn't been much done lately.  But I plan to have a productive year 2012. 

I just finished this quilt that was started in 2011 and just recently quilted.  I had never seen a Burgoyne Surrounded done scrappy before but I do like the look.  Have you?

I have hopes of completing the tops of these quilts in 2012.

First I am about to start Lily Rosenberry by Sue Garman here are the fabrics I have chosen.  The urn will be fussy cut with the print.  Windows Live is giving me trouble but you can see the pattern here. http://www.quakertownquilts.com/patterns/sue-garman.html?p=3 I plan to make the four block version.

 The background is a tone on tone from Windham Fabrics called Mary's Blenders.

Then I want to make this quilt that I have been collecting fabrics for.  It is in the Quilts of Virginia book. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Then lastly but not least I want to make Ballaarat Beauties by Michelle Yeo.  I have always wanted to do a Mariner's Compass quilt.  I guess I could say that 2012 will be a year of circular blocks.  Do you have plans for 2012 on your calendar?  I know that this sounds very ambitious for one year, but I am going to try really hard to accomplish these plans.

Until next time.
