You saw what was currently up on my design wall last week, including those five 'whimsy' blocks, yes? They had been up there for quite some time, so I decided I would update you all on my progress as I've been working on this WiP lately.
It always seems to take me a while to get back into the swing of making these blocks.
Note to self: needle down, scant 1/4 " seams, breathe . . .
. . . but by the time I'd pieced these four more, I was pretty much on a roll
Judy Newman's pattern calls for 35 pieced blocks, each measuring 22.5cms (9") square. For earlier details about my quilt progress pop back here. I thought I should do a bit of a head count too, I figured I must be nearly there by now, fingers crossed.
And a lovely surprise, I had finished 30 blocks, only five more to go! Not a hard ask after making all the others, so last thing today I began stash diving for a few more florals to finish the last five blocks. Linking up with Kelly for 'needle and thread Thursday' here and with Myra for 'finished {or not} Friday' over here
And my minature daffys have started popping out
Spring must be just around the corner . . .
Spring must be just around the corner . . .
Those are really pretty blocks, Linda! I love the perfectly chosen fabrics for the star points that go so well with the floral centers. Congratulations on getting so many sewn up!
ReplyDeleteAs always, your choice of gorgeous fabrics make the blocks zing. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteWow that project is coming together so quickly! Perfect for this upcoming spring weather.
ReplyDeleteThey are looking wonderful. Well done on persisting with the blocks. All the fabrics are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is so so so wonderful! It is perfectly scrappy and I love the colors. That striped fabric is perfect too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful mix of colors in those quilt blocks -- LOVELY!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blocks!!! Every time I see your whimsy blocks, I know for sure I want to make the quilt. Some time, next year. I’ve been so stupid not to buy the pattern and templates when I had a class with Judy Newman back in May...
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely delightful! I love the red stripe in the corners and the design it makes when the blocks are sewn together. The mini daffodils are so sweet.
ReplyDeleteYou are getting so close! What a gorgeous looking palette!
ReplyDeleteI love it...just love it.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are gorgeous - keep going!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll need to borrow that pattern from you one day .... this is going to be such a beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekending to you.
I love these blocks! And those striped corners just make all the flowers dance!
ReplyDeleteI love your mini daffodils!
ReplyDeleteAnd your blocks are a spring garden, very cheerful.
Nice work.
They are beautiful. I love the florals with the red and white stripe. You always inspire me to work on some circular blocks of my own. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your whimsy blocks -- perfect pairing with those lovely romantic florals. And piecing them by HAND -- just amazing. I will look forward to watching this quilt come to life in your skilled fingers!
