MONTH 3 -- Show Your Progress Here

[Alice]

Did not do Block2 from the pattern, created something easier for me to handle. Thanks Helen for your help!
To me this requires more brain power than my old job, haha. You ladies rock!

[Lynnanne]

I really like your block, Janet M and will be looking forward to see more of them.

When looking at the Month 3 block , I did not notice the alternate block. It blends it very nicely. Great sewing!!

[Sally W.]

Not sewn together, but month 3 up on the design wall. I chose to do Barbara’s alternate block.

[Monique G.]

Thanks Helen. This would just add so much to the quilt. I will look into it. A big thanks

I finished my 20 month 3 blocks and put them up on my design wall amongst Jan/Feb blocks and some month 11 blocks. I am caught up now!

I completed the first blocks and now thinking about the embroidery that will be happening down the road. Being my African quilt really doesn't go with the flower theme I thought that maybe some African women around the border might be a better choice. Still experimenting with ideas. Any thoughts?

Monique, Love the black crescents on the 9 patch. Are you planning to cut women out of African fabrics and applique them\
to blocks? I saw a border print that might work without doing any work. The other thing I was thinking was to get a sunset
type fabric or if you are doing log cabins, make them in sunset colors and do black silhouette animals and those trademark
African trees. To me the creativity of going off in your own directions is alway wonderfully fun. HelenW

PS If you put some silhouette animals in your quilt you could make a black sheep and put your
initials on it.

Love your colors, and I love your border idea!

[Monique G.]

No Vesta, it is just a black fabric, but seems to really bring out the other colours. Thanks so much for you comment. This quilt has been a mystery for me as I seem to be the black sheep of the family. I think if I was to do this pattern again I would have chosen way different fabrics.

[Barbara B.]

I love these fabrics!

[Vesta C.]

I’m enjoying your fabric choices a lot! I have a few similar fabrics but not enough for an entire quilt. What is the black solid? It looks textured. Great combo with your prints.

I’ve finished machine piecing six of block #2. This block is really a challenge, but each one is an improvement over the previous one. Maybe by number 20, I’ll feel some degree of mastery over block #2. I’ve been following Sonia’s process, which Barbara outlined in her blog. Thanks, Barbara!

They look great to me. My favorite color combination. I'm still plugging along, so I haven't posted anything. Soon I hope!
