I did the Dutch Rose, On a Clear Night, and April Stars. NOW.....I MIGHT, maybe, attempt the daffodil appliqué also, because I like the way it looks and it kind of goes with the crocus wreath we did for another month. I think I'll have to modify the stems, though, in order to do it.

Carole -- that is going to be just lovely! I just went through all of your blocks... will you put them ALL in one quilt? if they are 12" blocks -- that is going to be a big quilt!

Your color choices are wonderful! Can't wait to see more! (and the finished layout!)

Carole, every month I look forward to seeing what you've done with the BOM blocks, and it's always a treat! :)

*Very* beautiful, Carole. This collection is going to be out of this world. It's such fun seeing it all come together. Your work is wonderful. . In message , Carole-Retired and Loving It writes

I have a futon that doesn't have a quilt as of yet..and seeing as how I LOVE Poiple..it would be PERFECT...and it is NOT king size.

Oh my! I am having some serious block envy. Those are simply beautiful. I LOVE the color choices.

Thanks Donna, Pat on the Hill, Butterfly, Sharon, and L for the nice comments on my blocks and colors. I was lucky that the fabrics I chose have been working together so nicely! I guess all this practice is helping because the points and seams actually worked on that complicated Dutch Rose block, and it ended up being 12 1/2" square!!! That would never have happened in my earlier quilting days. I'm not sure what I pictured to begin with, but I've been pleasantly surprised at how well everything is coming together.

I'm presently about 1/3 of the way through attempting the daffodil appliqué even though I did the April Stars block already. If/when I get it finished, I'll post a link to it. I've adapted it a bit because on the templates provided, the leaves/stems were just to finicky for me, so I've made some slight adjustments.

Butterfly, I can't believe you have a futon that doesn't already have a quilt on it! Surely that can't be!!!!

It doesn't. It truly doesn't. The Poiple LC is for MOI (Haven't even looked for a Pro-quilter yet) and I just finished DD's Plane quilt and now I'm starting the WUH for the Bride-to-be...so a coupla other things have been set aside for now--including the Butterfly Attic Window Drape for our bedroom. I did put on the African Safari Bedspread (heavier fabric that doesn't have a backing whatsoever) that I made for DS's room when he was in Middle School...so it is covered nicely for the summer.

(((Which reminds me--Leslie--are you still going to do a Jungle Room?)))

Butterfly (and it wasn't even put on the 57 list of to-dos)
