SHOW AND TELL--Your Blocks

[Karen G.]

HelenW I love this dark version with the over under. Is the over under a pattern or did you make it up. I can't wait to see it finished. I hope you publish a picture of it in this forum, so I will be notified and can see it.

Eyestitch, Yes, Over and Down Under is a pattern by Bonnie Sullivan. I made it half size; so the squares are 1 inch finished instead of 2 inch. Then I just started making
some applique blocks. Have not figured out exactly what I have in mind. Will use black sashing strips to make things fit together. The fabric, except the jet black kona
cotton, is a flannel fabric line designed by Bonnie Sullivan. I just love the colors. I am using Ricky Tims couching technique to outline the applique. Using 6 strand DMC
embroidery floss. Right now I am waiting for more black fabric. I ordered from Hancock of Paducah on Sept. 29 and it has not shipped yet. They are over there head in
orders. HelenW

I'm taking a break from the applique and concentrating on the shoofly blocks. Love how they are turning out! Taking my time and measuring and sewing accurately.

Drafted an idea for a corner block for my 9 patch flying geese border. Square in a square in a square 9 patch. HelenW

HelenW - Loving your borders. They really set the quilt off nicely.

It must be a very good feeling to have all the double nine-patches done Thank you for sharing all of your recent lovely blocks!

[Ellen L.]

I've been keeping up with the applique blocks. Finished the 2 October blocks yesterday. I'm woefully behind on my double nine patch blocks. I keep getting pulled away to make more masks. I've done 22 double nine patch blocks.

Helen W,After seeing your Over and Under quilt with the Afternoon Delight block border I had to order the pattern. It is lovely. Hope mine turns out as good.

Love your fabric choices!!

Question? Can you tell me how you posted and included the photos of your blocks?? I tried several times and can't get my photos to post with the message.

Thanks!

Wow!!! I'm working my way through the nine patches right now. It keeps me busy and focused so that I don't get stressed with all the horrible news out there every day!

[kwiltsnblooms]

Working my way through the shoofly blocks. And have started the nine patch blocks.

Your photos may be too big, resize them smaller and try again.

October - Check!

I did turn the heart for on-point placement, but my "petals" are spinning clockwise instead of counterclockwise. I planned to back baste that portion and didn't think about reversing it until I had already drawn the block. The clockwise rotation didn't bother me, so I proceeded.

Ready for November!
