I know I’ve been delinquent lately in updating my blog, but the next couple of weeks will be busy, so I can’t promise I’ll be any better! Wednesday (yesterday) we went on a bus tour to New Ulm, Minnesota. It was a wonderful fall day, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the sights. I will be posting pictures when I sort through them and try to narrow them down to a very few.
So on to a bit of progress in the quilting part of my life. Judy Laquidara has posted Block 6 of her Star BOM, and tonight seemed like a good time to jump right in and get it done. This block went together as easy as could be. *whew* But I think I was a little more watchful on my measurements. It doesn’t take much to throw the whole block off.
The colors are much more accurate in the “group photo”. It must be the light, but sometimes I just can’t get the colors to look like they’re supposed to! Anyway, I’m loving every single block so far. The background fabric is somewhere between old gold and brown paper bag color. I want the stars to all be a variety of jewel tones, with dark green sprinkled throughout. I’ve really enjoyed checking out the progress of the other bloggers who are doing these blocks. Everybody’s is so unique, we should have a show (even if it’s just a virtual one) of all the quilts when they’re finished!
