I worked on my Gratitude quilt tonight. This is the progress so far. I am now to the point where I can add borders.I also added my 12 top UFOs to my sidebar. My Gratitude quilt is one of my goals so I am going to keep going on this one so that I can take it off my list.
Linda J.: I started my January blue work snowman block. I can see where working on those blocks will be addictive! I now understand why you finished January, February, and March already!
Your quilt is looking great and coming along quickly.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful bright and cheery Christmas quilt. I'm sure you'll enjoy it for years to come :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks great -- each time I see this pattern I love the circle that comes up in the cornerstones. It's like magic *s*
ReplyDeleteI seem to have fallen behind in my blog reading - so I needed to catch up. The Gratitude setting for the crumb quilt is a great idea. And the nickle blocks are really neat as well, using up all the Christmas fabric is such a good idea. I don't collect alot of it - but it is such pretty fabric to just sit in a pile.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year
I like your gratitudes with the crumb block centers. I've been thinking of doing mine with some old 6" star blocks I have laying around. It would mean refiguring the sashing, etc but I think it would be cute. I might do a block or two this weekend to see how I like it before I commit to a whole quilt.
ReplyDeleteI really like your Gratitude Quilt! Great twist to the orginal design.
ReplyDeleteI am loving how this is turning out, Norma!
ReplyDeleteAnd good for you getting started on the snowmen blocks--aren't they fun? Just sent a pic of a possible setting to you.
I see the list in the sidebar so it looks like we have some goals in writing to aim for.
Norma - that gratitude quilt in those colours looks outstanding - well done you :o)
ReplyDeleteI like the way you have modified your Gratitude quilt. Very good use of scraps.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you did the centers of the blocks - and you'll be ready for Christmas 2007 before the rest of us! It's really lovely.
ReplyDeletei like your gratitude quilt Norma. What a great idea using scraps for the centres.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat setting! I love your Gratitude quilt. I took a peek at the snowmen also and they are going to be fun. I have really spent more time lately doing hand work than machine piecing and have 3 projects in various levels of completion, from just drawn, to ready for borders, to only needing binding. I may haul the sewing machine out tomorrow and finish 2 of them.
ReplyDeleteI think the crumb blocks look GREAT in that setting... and your nickle blocks look super too! You've been doing some wonderful work - I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteI love the crumb blocks in the middle! What a great idea! Both of these quilts are super, and almost quilts from nothing!
ReplyDeleteYour Gratitude quilt is really nice with those crumb blocks - and the Christmasy colors.
