Finally finished my second block. Can't believe the patience I have with this project. I am enjoying the journey so much I surprise even myself! It is because of you all, your notes and your photos of your progress that this journey is so special and keeps me going.

Thank you for sharing!

They're both so beautiful, Brenda. I love your color scheme, especially the 2nd block. Do you know what the purple and green fabric at the top and bottom of your vase is--the one with the squiggles? I could sure use that in my Flower Pots. I'm using a sold background of just that green.

ReplyDeletelove your blocks, just great. Your background fabric just sits everything off. beautiful
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I really like your use of orange with the blue.
ReplyDeleteGosh Brenda, it is a stunner!! Love all your fussy cutting, had to smile at the berries - they are so cute. Great fabric use for the vase. Just love the two blocks together.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to Quiltshow, love the bit with the cats playing pattycakes, our cats used to do that before it became a full scale brawl and had to throw a bowl of of cold water to break it up. I'm really incompetent though, I can't find the section with the Baltimore Exhibit. Do I have to join first? I've had a great time going through alll blogs, but still can't locate it, help! Cheers, Kim McL
Wow your blocks are so inspiring. I love all the bright color fabrics and also am a needleturn applique fanatic. I am thinking of doing the Roseville quilt!!!!! I will have to get hold of the pattern though and fabrics and and uhm mind is on the run now. hehehehe
ReplyDeleteA beautiful use of the fabrics! I look forward to seeing what you come up with for Block #3!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful block! I love the fabrics you've chosen. The vase is so pretty..and all of your fussy cuts are just perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt sure looks nice with block #1 too! I look forward to seeing #3. :)
Dear Leland, the pattern of this fabric is island. It is a stripe of different patterns.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the compliments! They mean a great deal to me. By the time I finished #2, I couldn't even see the block any more..it's all a blur. Obviously, I haven't figured how to edit color... Now I can't wait to start
#3. I do have a few stems made. I can stitch those for a few days while I think about the flowers.
