The first one I made had the colours reversed, this one matches the original block.
It's great to see all your photos and blogs about your work in progress. It takes time to photograph the blocks and write blog posts so thank you for your effort. Here are a few show and tell pictures which deserve a second look.
Wendy of Legend and Lace sent me this photo of Nancy Smith's Block 4. Wendy's needleturn is perfect, if you want to find out more about back basting applique her blog is a good place to start.
Carole from Wheels on the Warrandyte Bus has a lovely blue Block 4 which she finished on a delayed homeward commute. I like the way the curves on the fabric echo the curves of the applique.
Michelle of Buttontree Lane has only had the patterns a short while, but her choice of fabric is amazing! The mix of traditional patterns and contempory prints is a remarkable fusion. I'm looking forward to what she chooses next.
Do you have a favourite block so far? They feel a bit like children to me so I don't have a favourite, but Nancy Smith's block is particularly nice.
Bravo,
ReplyDeleteI love antic quilts, reproduction quilts, and tradionnels. piecing and hand quilting.
Congratulations.

My favourite block so far is the first one 'Jane Wilson's'.I love the fabric that Wendy has used and it's great to see a modern version. Thanks for showing my block :)
ReplyDeletePriscilla Turner is my favourite block so far - the one you featured above (thanks!) . I think it's my fabric choices I love so much though - the grey fabric was designed by my friend Cam and I started the block the night after she underwent a double lung transplant. So it's a very special block to me - will always remember the start of the next battle for her!
ReplyDeleteLove all those Nancy Smiths! I'm almost finished mine.
