Can we say....

procrastinate?

I promised you a tutorial, like, 21 days ago....and I can put things off with the best of them, I tell you.  I DO have a tutorial almost ready to post for you.  Hopefully will be up by tomorrow.  In the meantime, have a gander at my lovely blocks together:

Top row, l to r: Angela's, Victoria's and Amy's blocks

Bottom row, l to r:  Nettie's block, my block, Jacquie's block

Eventually, I think this quilt will have some sort of sashing or setting blocks, but I am loving how they look together!  Thanks so MUCH ladies!

cyclone for doris

I did it!

WOW. I learned something today! Paper piecing!
I had very little idea what i was doing but I think I managed
to get a block that resembled yours!

I hope its OK, I know I didn't do it nearly the way you are supposed to.
I ripped out a lot and was worried the paper would fall to bits before I got it done...
See the strings hanging off Jenny EGG? She sits by me when I sew..
And you saw how messy I can be!
she comes out with all the strings all over herself... oh well.

it's in the mail to you tomorrow.
;-)
Hugs to you Doris!

Go Cyclones!

Being that my hubby is cyclone all the way...I wanted to change the colors...a little crimson and gold maybe? Just kidding!

Here you go, Doris. I went ahead and did the paper piecing, not my preference, but I thought I'd better not go crazy. (I'd waste too much fabric figuring it out.) Hope it works for you!

Cyclone Doris?

Sorry, Doris, I couldn't resist. I really enjoyed making this block. I had to keep checking myself to make sure I was putting the colors in the right places -- even doubting myself after looking at Angela's block. This is going to be such a beautiful quilt!! I can't wait to see it. No pressure. ;-)

A paper cyclone for Doris - the aqua and purple are so pretty!

Merry Christmas for Autumn

I pulled out a bit of my Figgy Pudding to add in for a candy cane stripe.

One fun, Christmas block for you, Autumn!
