La Passacaglia, EPP, and Grand Illusion

[Susan B.]

Carole, I'm glad your quilt showed up here! Lovely quilt, great colors and dramatic pattern. Do you get to keep it?

[E.M. T.]

It's a beauty ! Hope to make it one day ! I've started the Grand.

[E.M. T.]

Love your quilt Carole. That one is on my to do list - honest. so is Grand Illusion too....eventually :whistle:

[Nancy R.]

Beautiful, Carole!

I took a break from making Christmas presents this weekend and made the first set of blocks for Grand Illusion. I'll post pictures once I download them from the camera.

[Nancy R.]

Yes, Sue, this Celtic Solstice quilt I will keep. It really works well in the guest bedroom. I'm going to start cutting the strips for Grand Illusion this morning. I will still have to finish a couple of other time-sensitive sewing projects before I really start putting the Broken Dishes blocks together, though!

Carole that is gorgeous, I love the colours.

I got my pictures uploaded. The first step was to make 280 half-square triangles:



Then we had to use 200 of those in these 4-square blocks:



(I laid them out on the floor to see how I like the colors together.) So, I'm right on track for now.....

[Renata L.]

Great layout, Nancy. I was planning to save the pattern and pick colors after I see the final Grand Illusion--but now your are tempting me! :unsure:

[Janet K.]

I was thinking of starting this quilt, thanks for showing the photos, I was unsure about the colors.
You have done great work already. WOW JANET

[Nancy R.]

Yes, join me!!! I still need to send an email to Sharon to see if I can guilt her into coming along....

[Geneva C.]

Nancy, Thanks for inspiring us! I've been trying to decide whether to jump in...

[Nancy R.]

Come on in, the water's warm....

[Sharon E.]

Hi girls, yes I am also jumping in, but I don't have a lot of those colors, so more fabric purchasing, boo hoo! I am going to Seattle on Sat. to play Grammie for 4 days and WILL be going to Pacific Fabrics, so may just get it there.

Have a great day everyone

Sharon in nice and warm after a Bronco Win, Colorado!

[Sharon E.]

Yes, join me!!! I still need to send an email to Sharon to see if I can guilt her into coming along....

I'm here
my bits look just like Nancy's, I'm using Bonnie's colors for the first time and just doing a 1/2 size. I need new color on our loft bannister. If 1/2 is too big I'll do something interesting on the back with extra blocks.

I'm using my vintage Singer 404 to piece with...I think I may have learned to sew on this model in Home Economics.

[Nancy R.]

Glad to have you along!
