Two more blocks...
Well, I think after completing these two, the next couple of blocks will be simpler ones for a change. I found both to be kind of labor intensive and although all those little fingers were surprisingly enjoyable to do...happy to say they are done.
Thinking that center 5 layer flower is a tad dark, but it will stay as is.
The photo of the completed blocks laid out was taken a while back before the latest two were added.
Happy stitching everyone.

They look absolutely stunning! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic blocks Pat!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think the 5-layer flower is too dark at all. The light contrasting fabric made a big difference in that. Your blocks all look really nice.
ReplyDeleteBlock 12 IS labor intensive, I'm working on it right now. I think each of the corner sections take an hour each! I like the basket fabric and your flower pops against the red, i like it. All your blocks together are looking really great!
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks. Colors and all. Yes, some of them are labor intensive and that is why doing this as a BOM makes it so do-able. They all look great together.
ReplyDeleteOoh! Aah! Wonderful blocks. I want to make some of them but have had such a time deciding whether to do red & green similar to yours or just a variety of repro fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThanks all - appreciate the sweet & encouraging comments.
ReplyDeleteKaren - while the original 1850 quilt was red & green we are all doing our own version - some traditional, some brighter & for a gorgeous color variation check out Fiona's take on these blocks.
Do what makes you happy!
