chickenscratch Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Here are the ones I've gotten so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boni Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Wow, thanks for posting those pictures. Gives me some food for thought about setting and such. Lots of pointy-piecing. Do you remember the picture I posted in the beginning of the Pine Needle Quilt Shop fall quilt? Here, I'll post it again. I'm thinking I might like to do a little dividing and conquering this one. I finally have a plan for my 30's quilt and should start on it this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Boni..what a pretty pattern. I don't quite have a plan for my blocks yet, but they sure are all pretty! I am going to post a picture of my completed blocks tomorrow. ?? Where did everyone sign on the black blocks? I am thinking about use a gold jelly pen and signing in the black. Sound okay...or does someone have a better idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnice Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Wow. All the blocks look wonderful. This will be a fun quilt to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckeindl Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hello! Here are my blocks, each black and muslin They are slightly larger than 12 1/2" because I didn't know if anyone wanted to soak (not pre-washed) and trim themselves? On the black, I thought I would just write small on a light fabric? Just a little self-promotion - in the background are some corn cobs I've made and the published pattern. I've sold quite a few patterns, but many corn cob fabrics weren't printed the last couple years, so sales non-existent. I happen to have a few patterns left, and some corn fabrics of my own if anyone is interested. (half-price!) Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBQLTN2 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 wow, aren't they all so pretty, I love the the picture Boni has of the Pine Needle, wouldn't that be a great idea! Cant wait to see them all. Great work everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boni Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Cathy, that's a great idea for that corn fabric. It's a "duh" moment for me, because my cousin does a lot of applique and she's always looking for just the right fabric for the job. Wait till she sees this pattern. There was a quilt at the Sister's outdoor quilt show that used corn fabric for the block and surrounded it with sashing of red,white, and blue. I'll try to post a picture of it. You'd never know it was corn from a distance. I guess they were trying to look mid-western patriotic---corn fields of America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 My quilt customer, Nadine, has decided to join us. She has made 12 blocks and I will pick them up from her house on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witha'K'quilting Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Okay...I did it. I just have to add my name to the blocks. I am going to buy a gold jelly pen this afternoon and sign blocks and mail them tomorrow. WHEW! I beat the deadline. That sure feels good. I used the one-seam dimensional flying geese for this Toad in the Puddle block. I hope everybody likes them. I had fun making them. close-up: all 12: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Most people are signing the black blocks in a light section, using a dark marker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirabelle Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Holly like you I forgot to sign my blocks, remembered when I made the extra for Bonnie. So Teresa if it is not too much bother can you please sign my card tricks blocks for me. Much appreciated:) WOW I must say the blocks so far are fabulous, both light and dark. I have an idea for a quilt top which involves a centre block turned on point and Boni's tree will be perfect. Eagerly awaiting my blocks:o Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boni Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Ooooo Karen, you must be reading my mind. I have an idea that inspired that tree! Can't wait to see what you do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Thanks everyone. I am glad my block is passing approval so far. I bought a gold pen and it is looking great on the blocks. These will go out in tomorrows mail. I agree with Karen...all these blocks are looking terrific. Can't wait to get my 'squishy' package in the mail.

dnice Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Karen and Boni, We all must be on the same wave length. That tree in the muslin group just calls out to be the center of a quilt. My DH saw the photos of the blocks and is already laying claim to the quilt before it is even put together. :D He loves the colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyJo Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Cathy, I love the ears of corn blocks, and the ones you've made too, Kristina. Our quilts are going to be very pretty Fall colors and I know right where I'm going to hang it too!!!! And thanks Teresa for posting pics of the blocks that you have so far.
