This week is just speeding by me! The last block of Bonnie's mystery quilt has been posted and I am so close to working on it. But first I had to finish sewing 16 of these Ohio Star variation blocks. I was glad that I had carefully squared up the hourglass blocks from step #5, since it was tricky to get these blocks to join together well at the seams.
Here are my 16 blocks on the design wall. I like the design that these blocks make when displayed all together. But that's not how it will be sewn...this is only less than half of the blocks I need for the mystery.
I can now start to sew my last blocks from my remaining 100 rail fence blocks, 100 9 patches, and 25 light squares.
Back to "work"....
Kathy, thanks for stopping by my blog. Thanks to this wonderful bunch of women, I have gone way, way out of my comfort zone to do this quilt and I have started to blog. Your quilt looks great too, the colors are wonderful. This has been such fun, I don't know if I can wait until April for the next. Maybe I'll look around for another one, NOT!! I'm really going to do some of my UFO'S. My "niece" just had a baby boy, so I'll just get the backing and batting and try my hand at quilting by my machine. Again, thanks for stopping by and happy quilting. Renée
ReplyDeleteI still just love your colors. Can't wait to see it with the Step 7 blocks.
ReplyDeleteYour medium color is just right........I think my blues are a bit dark.
Kathy, I love your colors. That green is awesome and really pops. I can't wait to see how it looks with the other blocks.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your continuing mystery progress. I think your colours are going to work really well - the accent contrast is just right :)
