Block number/name: G-2 “Mohawk Trail”Date completed: July 24, 2009
Number of pieces: 28
Notes on block: The fabric for this block came from my friend Cindy. She knew I was looking for more greens and generously offered up swatches from her stash. How cool is that? And I just love how this particular fabric looks in this block. I really like this block a lot and I’m pretty happy with how I executed it too… nary a point cut off!
I did most of the work on this one on Thursday night, and then finished it up Friday afternoon.
Block number/name: J-6 “Granny Weaver” Date completed: July 24, 2009
Number of pieces: 25
Notes on block: I love the look of the white fabric in this block—kind of like tree bark. It seems appropriate with the leaves. The green fabric is an oldie but a goodie. It is from a 2” strip I had remaining from my third quilt, made back in 1998. A little blast from the past:
Here I am with my third quilt, Happy Otters. I gave to my best friend’s mother, who was pretty much my second mom (also known as Mom²). (Sorry for the image quality... picture of a picture-- but the quilt really was rather blindingly bright.)
More great blocks. Your 3rd quilt is pretty great too.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric combo in J-6! And good job on your points :)
ReplyDeleteI hear ya on the heat. My sewing room is off limits after 11am.
ReplyDeleteYou and your third quilt are adorable.
I love that picture of you with your 3rd quilt! I wish I had some pictures of my first quilts. They were all made as gifts and back then I didn't think to take pictures of them. Great DJ blocks, too. You inspire me to keep going!
ReplyDeleteI love your new blocks. Great job! The picture of you and your third quilt are priceless. I remember when that fabric was popular.
ReplyDeleteyou did a great job on that quilt and it was only your third? :) in vegas it's been around 110 and it really has killed all the sewing time ... mainly because the kids are ALWAYS indoors and make it impossible to sew.
