Still working away

Hi Everyone

Just letting you know that I'm still working away On my block back log.  I've pieced my background for the centre block and I've started stitching on the stems.  I've completed all the outlines for the smaller blocks.   And I've been working away on the appliqué centres.

I will try and post some photos but I've had about 4 goes at that and it hasn't worked.  Thoughts I'd better get some info on here to show that I'm still on the planet.

Loving all the beautiful colours I'm seeing on blog posts.  Can't wait to get mine completed.  We are going away this weekend, so hope to get some stitching done.

Cheers

July Done and Dusted

.....And completed with a day  to spare....for a change.

I really enjoyed playing with this block.  Firstly piecing the background and making the most of the toile fabric.

Then it was time to sit and do the applique.  I even tidied up my sewing table.

The applique actually took longer than I had expected.  Once again I had to use some fabric from my stash, as my little scrap bag didn't have any decent sized pieces left.  There are still a few I can cut squares out of for the next borders.

And here we are, all done.

I'm very happy with the way it has turned out and am loving seeing the many other versions that have been completed, especially the bright version.

Now I have to decide how I will attach the diamonds on the next border.  Will I use blanket stitch or will I have to bite the bullet and do some needle turn?  Decisions, decisions......

Thanks Chooky and Susan as always for keeping me accountable.

Cheers

July done!

 I am away overseas at the moment so I made this centre earlier. I didn't want to get behind.

Sending you all good wishes from Cornwall today!

Frosty July Finish

What else to do when Jack Frost is outside?  Stay inside and sew by the fire of course. Can I have a "J" for July please ... amazed that I have finished the centre block and love how it has turned out. I found it very daunting at the start with so many little pieces but a little stitching each night and ta..da..

I enjoy seeing everyone's colour choices and how lovely they all look.

Hooray !

It was so much fun to make the big block !!!

I have already finish it !!

The little border is navy blue.

I really love this quilt !

I can't wait  to see all your different versions !

A Chilly July Start

My July block is waiting for an early spring for some colour. The left and right smaller branches/leaves are stitched and the centre branches/leaves are in place ready for needle and thread.

Then I couldn't help myself and started playing with all the pieces cut ready and waiting to "Spring" into action. There's a lot of work for July but I'm excited with how it's starting to look. A few more fabric pieces to choose yet.
