I'm caught up! I finished the November blocks today.

I also quickly put the blocks for June through October on thecarpet with some sashing strips and borders to see the general effect.

If I were to do the poppy appliqué again, I'd make the flowers and leaves slightly larger and I think they'd be easier to do.



I looked at my piece of graph paper with my original layout plan and realized I don't need all 36 blocks like I thought I did. I only need



  1. I'll go ahead and make all 36 and then six of them will be used in some other way, either on the back, or on pillows, or on a bolster pillow or something. I'll worry about that later! :)

Looking good, Carole! In fact, it's looking *great*! :) That soft purple is unifying the entire thing, and the sashing is just right for these blocks. Great job!

woooowwwww. . . . Love the lavender. Thanks to Elly for picking up the BOM and running with it.

Really, really beautiful, Carole. .

Carole ,I love your blocks. So beautifully planned and of course they have Purple ( my favorite) The Borders will be just perfect too!Well done.

That is pretty. What a good idea doing the sashings etc as you do the BOM. I seem to have a mental block and keep them to the end, even when I know what I'm going to do! Much more sensible to do them as you go along.

The new appliques are so pretty and delicate. I do like your choice Elly.

Thanks Kay, Patti, Estelle, and Sally! There was a reason I did the borders and sashings right away. I wanted to be sure I had enough fabric to do them consistently, so I cut them first. That way I can make the rest of the blocks from whatever fabrics are left. It will also help me get right to work when the blocks are finished because all that repetitive work is already done.

Carole - you are going to have a very beautiful quilt when it's all done. I love your colour choices too.
