A small finish

Well, come on over, Polly! We're high and dry right now. ;) And thanks for your kind words. :)

Thanks, Laurie. :)

Congratulations Sandy!

The quilt looks absolutely gorgeous. I can't believe the detail in those small blocks. What a great idea to use the 'celebration' block as a center.

Oh, and I wanted to tell you that I can see the pale lavender and the pale yellow just fine. I can't tell if you have the same situation as I did, but I was seeing pale washed out colors recently when I tried to find fabrics online. Turns out they were due to a new computer. I had to set up the monitor to my liking. (I usually just adjust the bright button.... but there are a whole bunch more).

Thanks, Lisa. :) I'd never have tried to piece those itsy-bitsy things in the traditional way, but paper piecing made them pretty easy. ;)

I did substitute a better photo this morning, so the colors are a bit easier to see now. :)

Very nice! Did you keep track how much yardage of each fabric you had to use to make this top? What is the finished size?

Gorgeous, Sandy!! I love the colors and the block orientation!

Thanks, Irene. :)

Thanks, Ginger. :) It's 15 1/4" square, but I didn't keep track of the yardage at all, unfortunately. It's all fabric I had in my stash, though I was really afraid I was going to run out of the lavender before the BOM ended. I have only a couple of inches left of that, or I'd have done double corded piping in yellow and lavender instead of single piping in the yellow.

Beautiful!!

Thanks, Donna. :)

Exquisite, Sandy. Simply exquisite! And you used some of my favorite colors too!

Thanks, Michelle. :) I'd picked out the floral first and then some black, lavender and purple from my stash, but then I needed to brighten it up a bit, so the yellow (fairy frost) did the trick. All of it was from my stash, so it was a "free" project. ;)

Exquisite!! i love the colorway you chose. Floating on black is a favorite of mine. and of course...we all love purple...!!

great job!!

awesome- you're to be commended for your detail and diligence to keep to the schedule and get them all done! I absolutely love that little quilt.

Thanks, Musicmaker. :) Making such small blocks meant that one a month was a pretty easy commitment to keep to -- and it gave me a good excuse to procrastinate about other things. ;)

Thanks, Amy. :) DH loves purple (and I'm rather fond of it, too), so I do use it fairly often.

The yellow was a perfect touch, Sandy. I love the black background. I tend to choose black over white for the background more often than not.

Black seems to make vibrant colors glow. :)

Thanks, Michelle. :) I do like dark backgrounds and use them frequently, but I like black and dark navy almost equally.
