Love Entwined progress - BOM2 part2

Still working on the second installement of Love Entwined, and the third BOM was just released. Now that I have a few of my UFOs at least turned into tops, this is getting more of my time. Last night I got the rest of the little green leaves stitched down, and a few more of the "daisies". More of them to go, along with the zig-zag border.

Grandmother's Choice top finished


I got the borders on today - wish I had a better place to take pictures - this is just about 100" square. Pieced the backing with leftover fabrics - so now just need to decide on quilting.

More Shipshewana Amish blocks

I am afraid I have been forgetting to blog about this quilt's progress. We have had a couple more assignments, both of the eight pointed stars and the Amish square in a square quilt block.
The eight pointed stars are both 9" and the Square in a square quilt block is 12".

Love Entwined BOM 2 in progress

BOM 2 attaches the center to the background, adds the triangles, some little flowers, six petaled daisies and a zig-zag border. Obviously, this is not there yet, but the triangles are on and the little double circles for the little flowers. Now to make more of those little green leaves.

Love Entwined - first part done

I finally got the circles appliqued around the Mariner's compass. They look so big in this picture, but not really, 5/16", which is barely bigger than 1/4". Not perfect, but done is good.

Grandmother's Choice BOW 47 - Heroine

Another applique block - so I drew it up in EQ to enlarge it. Getting slightly better at drawing, very slightly. I used the freezer paper underneath, starch method, so once it was prepped I took it along on my mini-vacation to Mendocino. Very restful place. Just two blocks left to go! And lots of sashing.
