    WOW! Lotti, your swirls are awesome!!


    It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter

        My current "make a few blocks here and there" quilt is a Judy Martin log cabin quilt. I'll have to wait until I finish the blocks for that one before jumping into pineapple blocks. But when I do, I might borrow your swirl idea, if you don't mind.

        Nancy
        i certainly don't mind - and i probably borrowed it from someone else - after all similar things have been around for ever and ever.
        although i tried out a few different things, including just taking what comes... i wanted this to be a bit more controlled...

            Hello everyone.
            Lorene, I love your blocks. I really like the red centers. If I ever get time to cut strips I want to use a red center.
            Lotti, I really like your design and the black/white fabrics with the red centers. I'm going to use your idea some
            time for my Niece but with purple centers, her favorite colors.
            I know that none of you will believe this, but I started quilting in 1980 and lost all my finished quilts, UFO's, and huge
            stash because of a divorce. I had to leave everything behind when I left Arizona and moved to Oregon. I thougt
            it was safe in storage. My ex and his new girlfriend, (my bestfriend!!) had a yard sale and sold everything. They
            sold my (ugly floor lamp) an OTT-Lamp, $200.00 at the time for $2.00. I sure hope a quilter or needleworker
            bought it.
            Anyway, things always work out the way God plans because I am remarried and have never been happier in my
            life. Oh I forgot, I did get a few quilt related items a year later, including my Pfaff machine. It was irreplaceable
            for me at the time.
            Of course I have been buying fabric but have been really sick the last year and have only finished one project.
            So, I only have 2-1/2" strips in batiks. I had written Gyleen to tell her I didn't have any scraps and then I
            remembered these. Hopefully, in the next week I can get a few blocks sewn together. I am trying to finish my
            HST quilt.
            Sorry for the past history but guess I needed to write about it this morning.

            Happy Quilting,
            Cathe

              Oh Lotti, you have done so much by hand! Amazing. Is that a snail trail? Now I am going to have to try that too! Oh this is so much fun. Can't wait to get back home on sunday! Rita.

                Cathe, we all need to gripe once in a while - your history is part of your now - the important thing is that you got rid of him (and your ex-friend too) and ARE HAPPY now. hope health is better and you can enjoy some fabric-play !

                  rita, yes it is - i think :roll: am not very good at pattern naming - i just see something somewhere and a while later when i try out things these come to mind...
                  the swirls are very easy to do - not much thinking so sewing is quite quick and i can do so while chatting with friends, listening to the tv, listening to a good book, on the train while trying not to miss my stops... tomorrow morning at the hairdresser? well actually - i'm hoping to take out and move those squares on the strippers quilt that ended up in the wong place - a good hairdresser job - should keep me busy while i wait for the color to set and the meche to set, and the cut - i tend to spend a whole morning at the hairdresser when i go - but i love those mornings - might it have to do with the fact that my hairdresser was runner up for mr. switzerland about 10 years ago or so :twisted:

                      no, vito unfortunately did not make it to mr. switzerland - only runner up - i.e. vice-mr.
                      but he is very good - and awfully good to look at too :wink:

                      oh - he was also hair-stylist of the year - absolutely no vice in that one :lol:

                            I am really enjoying seeing everyone's blocks. I've got to get me that book and ruler so I can make some too!

                              My work in progress. I plan on making it a LOT bigger as I have a LOT of scraps

                              I was toying with the idea of black sashing (mainly so I don't have to match any seams ) - any thoughts?
