My 2 friends came over to sew yesterday and Sue got the final seams in her One Block Wonder which is made from 6 cut up panels with a 7th one left whole. Several other friends saw this in pieces on one of my design walls so now they can see it complete.
I finished slicing the stratas of pink and green and last night sewed about 20 blocks. This is one of each combination. Some fabrics are used twice but they have a different partner the second time.
I wanted to see if I want to use all of the blocks together or break them into 2 groups for 2 small quilts so I have 35 on the wall here (40" x 56"). There are 56 blocks altogether. I'm still going to look through my floral fabrics and see if there is a good one to use as plain (not pieced) alternate blocks.
It's looking lovely Wanda. I have a sketch from the beginning of the year for a similar 16 patch that included full blocks as well to break up the space. All my strips have been cut since Feb. and are just waiting to be sewn. Same color scheme. Older floral stash. Yours will be done well before mine. Have fun.
Please tell your friend Sue, her OBW is ABSOLUTELY stunning. It's a wonderful scene, silhouette of the tree an amazing star lit sky, with a hillside of brilliant wild flowers . Just love it !
Your pink and green has blossomed into a splendor of patches.
That one block wonder!!! WOWOWOWOW!!!!! Is this her own design? Any chance this is a pattern or a kit???? I would LOVE to make this!
ReplyDeleteYOur blocks have such an interesting texture together on the wall. Great idea to try plain florals blocks, I wouldn't have thought of that.
ReplyDeleteThe OBW quilts are just so intriguing!! Someday I may try one. Meantime, I'll enjoy yours.
ReplyDeleteWow....I had to look close to find the panel. This is a great job!

ReplyDeleteYour friend Sue would make Van Gogh envious.
