I really love your fabric choices for this! Well done.

They look fabulous, (from someone who isn't even going to attempt applique.)

Your applique blocks are absolute perfection. You've done this before! lol

Completed Month 2. I used machine applique. I need the practice as I am not as experienced with this method.

Almost halfway done with month 2. Those little circles are kinda slow to make.

You can always make the circles larger which will be easier for you to make. --Lynn

I found a couple collections at Marcus fabrics that I would really like to use for this quilt. Problem is they
don't come out until later in the spring. So right now I am making a couple sample blocks to try Lynn
and Barbara's techniques but won't actually begin until about June. So I plan to do Dee's Kona Cotton BOM
in the mean time. Here are a couple pics of the fabrics I plan to use for Laurel Ridge. HelenWHelenW-
#16.2Editing a commentLynnanne, So nice to have you back on the forum, it has been a while. Are you doing Laurel Ridge?
I plan to do the Kona Cotton BOM with Dee Christopher (Live) while waiting for the Marcus collections that
I want to use to be manufactured. I am doing the 18 inch blocks in Kona Cotton as 6 inch blocks.
Don't need another larger quilt. Should be fun. Just using stash scraps not Kona Cotton. Are you still in Italy? HelenW

Yeah! Month 1 is done, trimmed and put away. Like the tips and advice from both Lynn and Barb.Comment

Well I finished on day 5 - somehow I made twice as many as requested!.
I guess I mis-read something. Once I discovered my mistake I decided that I'd go ahead and finish them - hoping that I could substitute the extras for other places in the quilt. It looks like that might work out.
I'm happy to put it away for awhile while I quilt my "Rugged Coast" quilt. (A bit more my normal style)
Thank you all for sharing, I enjoy looking at everyone's work.Comment

I have only used this technique to block blocks for a group project, it is very accurate, but I always feel like I’m providing an Acupuncture treatment!Comment

I plan to use fabrics from my stash, going for a scrappy look. I have not yet managed to finish a BOM within the planned timeframe, but that does not mean I do not plan to finish the quilt. Let's see how long I can keep up for this one

Good idea Helen to make a small quilt! I did both Color My World and Homeward Bound 60 and 50% smaller. I’m trying to do this new BOM in the original size because I want to make a bedspread. Yes, I’m still in Italy and am using fabrics I already have and some that I was able to find here. LynnOriginally posted by HelenW View Post

Barbara, omg thank you for all of the great information. I just finished reading your blog post for month 1! So helpful!!Comment

My first month finished!
I may go back and iron the last 2 seams open to flatten more. Some of the seam intersections are very bulky.Last edited by Laura C.; 01-09-2025, 07:22 PM.Comment

Month 1 blocks! I am using my stash to make a fall quilt. Love this block!Comment

I finally got around to getting my blocks sewn. I'm sending a photo of my fabrics using the number of fabrics needed for the granddaughter spring version. I'm not thrilled with how the color came out as I took the photo in a room without a daylight bulb. Now that I've pulled some out, I can't get them lined up good enough to take another photo in another room. They are in the order they are listed on the fabric requirements page of the instructions. I tried to send my photo of both blocks, but I had to crop the original photo as it wasn't showing both of them on my screen. Now I have 2 photos, 1 of each block. Unless, of course, both blocks show up on the first photo once I click send on this comment! I am using batik fabrics - some from my stash and some I bought new.
