Here are all the blocks I found from the first quilt that I talked about yesterday. There are six that are completely finished and the Dresden plate that is not sewn down to the background - it also needs a center circle applied.
Since 7 is a number that does not easily fit into a quilt, I think I will not use the unfinished one but will try to put the other four into a small charity quilt. Along with the blocks, I found a lot of the fabric from making them. It looks like I have a couple of yards of each - can't imagine why I bought so much.
They are all hand pieced or appliqued and better made than I remember. If I eliminate the one block, I will have 3 with pink background and 3 with green background. I can sash them and make it into a small child's quilt that someone will love.
I will add them to my unfortunately large list of UFO's but I feel better about them than I have for years. It was still a miserable experience in the class and I really don't like the fabrics but at least it can turn into a FO at some time.
I agree with your comments about the colors. I like pink and green, but not those fabrics. You did learn a valuable skill - hand piecing. The blocks do look good. Great job ont he hand piecing.
ReplyDeleteMelinda, I love the colors... they match my bedroom.
ReplyDeleteNice work and nice colors! However, if those blocks weigh you down because of a miserable experience, don't let them/the experience haunt you - pass them on to someone who will make a charity quilt (and then buy other pinks and greens that will fill that void! :>)
ReplyDeleteI was expecting ugly but these blocks will look just fine when you put them together. Not nearly as ugly as the UFO I showed on my blog the other day!
ReplyDeleteI think everything looks great! If you decide to send me the block with the circle and hearts that would be ok! LOL! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteHow about sewing them into a table runner......that way you don't have to make anymore!

Hi Melinda! I think your blocks are cute, and they will make a great little charity quilt!
ReplyDeleteI really like the circle one~
Your blocks look great, sometimes our taste in colour changes over time, mine sure does. This will make a fantastic quilt when done.
