Gratitude Quilt - Progress

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!

  3. Looks great -- each time I see this pattern I love the circle that comes up in the cornerstones. It's like magic *s*

  4. I 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.

    Happy New Year

  5. 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.

  7. I am loving how this is turning out, Norma!

    And 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.

  12. What 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.

  14. I love the crumb blocks in the middle! What a great idea! Both of these quilts are super, and almost quilts from nothing!
