TQS/AAQI Challenge 2012

[Rita C.]

Nancy that is such a great accomplishment, and for such a worthy cause. They are kind of addictive aren't they?

[Rita C.]

Yes, they are addictive. Working on another right now.

[Maryjo K.]

Nancy I love your spirit and can't wait to see your quilts on line! I keep working on them and have found that they allow me to try many different techniques.

[Maryjo K.]

I just finished another one. Are you familiar with Four-Patch Stacked Posies? It's a great technique similar to stack & whack but only using 4 repeats. Anyway, I had just finished cutting out what turned out to be 29 6-1/2" blocks and I thought that the little edges of the stack just might work for very little blocks. Well, it did and I made an AAQI out of twelve 2" blocks, set on point on a yellow background, fused in place and buttonhole stitched with invisible thread around each one and small stippling in between. It turned out quite pretty. I'll post it after I take a photo. Not sure how to put a photo on this site...I can do it on my member blog.

Nancy, glad you could join us with the passion you have!!! When I get back home, I will re posts the links for everyone and update some numbers. Clara

Nancy, to post a photo here you scroll down the page and you will see 'upload attachment' click on that and follow the directions from there it's pretty straightforward. You won't see the actual photo until you either preview it or submit it otherwise it's just numbers and parentheses. Hope that helps and I look forward to seeing your latest opus.

[Rita C.]

I'll try to upload them. However...I don't see the upload button. I must need to scroll down somewhere else. Please help. I have all the photos of my latest little quilts ready to show. :cry:



Hooray...here's "Nine Patch Wonder". Now I'll try to upload the other one.



Well you're getting one twice!! I'll get the hang of it some day. :roll:

[Renata L.]

Nancy, what a colorful nine-patch wonder! And your Celtic designs are lovely too. So glad you shared them--there's nothing like eye candy first thing in the morning especially when it is destined for such a great cause!

[Nancy R.]

LOVE your little one block wonder quilt! I'll have to try one of these....

[Nancy R.]

It would be good if I called it "Four Patch Wonder" since they are 4 patches not 9 patches. Sorry about that. I have the correct name on the back of the quilt, however. Going to register them today. I'll get the numbers to Clara.

Is that because you don't see much of it outside? :wink: :lol:
