Monday morning

On Saturday

I made more ring blocks with friends.

Silly me!

Didn't take ONE picture!!!

:/

This quilt is growing!

And...

So pretty.

Love these GREAT BIG blocks.

They're going to grow into a twin size

in NO time!

I also received some pictures from blogland friends.

Isn't this one wonderful???

All those different blues and reds!

Norece made it for Quilts of Valor.

The pattern is called BLUE skies

by Carrie Nelson.

Holly made this one last year for her daughter.

I LOVE the color palette she used!

 

If you're not tired of this block yet....

You need to pop over and see THIS ONE!

And I mean NEED TO!!!

It is an old one

using LOTS of half square triangles.

Amazing.

 

Have a GREAT week!

Hope you have some time to SEW!

;)

 

 

 

 

 

Ring quilt

You can tell by now.

I'm stuck.

Totally stuck on this pattern.

I'm exploring ALL the possibilities!

 

See what ONE old quilt

can do???

Powerful.....let me tell you!

;)

I'm going to call this version

my RING quilt.

I like this even better on point!

 

I bet there's a pattern for this one!

But....

I didn't find it.

You know me....

have to re-invent the Wheel...every. time.

I used 3 1/2" squares and half square triangles.

 

For each "color ring"

I cut:

four 3 1/2" squares of a print

Two 4" squares of print

one 3 1/2" square white

 

Using my design floor

I laid out only the 3 1/2" square pieces.

This took a little concentration.

 

Then...

I walked BACK AND FORTH

from design floor

to sewing machine in the other room

memorizing the two colors

 needed in the half square triangle blocks!

See how they're ALL different???

 

When I was done....

I was tired from walking back and forth

and my mind was SWIRLING!!!

 

In a perfect world...

My machine would be RIGHT next to the design wall!

Not TWO rooms away!!!

LOL!!!!

 

After getting them all lined up

I pieced them in rows....

and that's where I had to stop.

They're going to have to wait to GROW longer!

I have a SUPER busy weekend ahead.

I just needed to get them OFF

the design floor...IN ORDER...

before Miss Granddaughter comes to play today!

 

I'm happy to get that quilt idea OUT of my brain

even if it's NOT going to get finished

right away!!!
