I also pulled out a set of 5 blocks from about 40 that I've had now for almost 8 months. These were made by others in an online group that I'm in. Every once in a while someone will post a challenge to the group for others to use some fabric that they've pulled. In my case I challenge the group to make kid-friendly blocks from a bunch of halloween fabrics that I'd inherited yrs ago. I don't do halloween so these had just sat mouldering in my stash for year. The resulting quilts will be donated to Sunshine quilts for kids around the world. The top I made yesterday finished at 42" square.

These are all just beautiful!
The star is especially bold but I really love the purple & green together.
I still like the star, and the others will be great - some child is going to love the pumpkins and sunflowers!
I love them all, especially the top one.
I have the same problem. Every project that is NOT on the burner has a LOUDER voice! Love your cheerful flimsies, they'll make an awesome donation.
Oh, wow! What a lot of work you've done this week! All the flimsies are nice, but I am especially drawn to the green and purple. Could it be that's because they're both favoured colours? Or is it the design, which I really like, too.
I love to start new projects: I'm just not as good finishing them! lol
What an excellent use of those green strip sets. Love it when an idea can be adapted so many ways.
Watch out for Susan. She's got me on her list for writing a book too!
That is a great variation of the Railroad block. It's a great design element you have included with the placing of the purple blocks, and you've made it rather unique by using the strips.
Great star design too, and I can see lots of big areas to emphasize your quilting skills.
Nice of you to donate fabric for the quilt group challenge, and to make donations of the quilts made to Sunshine kids. What a lovely cause.
I'm managing to write patterns for the BOM I'm putting up this year, but haven't managed to work time in for a book yet.....lol. She keeps nagging me tho to do it.
Thanks!
They get down right insistent don't they?
Thanks!
What, I'm supposed to finish projects? Lol, you should see my stacks of flimsies and blocks that need to be finished up. However I don't have any room to store more finished quilts until I sell some.....sigh.
=)
:-))
We love Susan!
I'd vote for a book from you, too, Debra. ;>)
Love that Star, Moira! The others are very nice, too. Looks to me like you accomplished a whole lot, even though you didn't work on the "real" project.
If I don't hurry up, someone will discover my 2 ideas! Ha! ha!!
Wow, beautiful quilts Moira. You did a lot of work.
