The 3 blocks I had finished two weeks ago has grown to 8 total. Making them is faster now, but it still takes me about 2 hours from start to finish to make each one.
Picking the fabric for each block has been a fun process. My favorite block is the orange and blue.
The quilt will have 20 blocks all total, so I’m 40% done (hope my math is right). That does not include the sashing, which I just noticed a few days ago has some piecing to it!
And here’s some cute fabric I picked up online last week. The one on the left is by Creative Thursday and called The Red Thread. The fabric on the right is by Henley Studio for Andover. I love the different patchwork fabric elephants on it.
I’ll just be stashing these away to use for something, someday.
Have a great week!
I love these! Great job! They are nice sized blocks, eh?
ReplyDeleteLove the elephants! :D
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blocks! Really like that orange one too. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty! What a great mix of fabrics you have chosen.
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are gorgeous, Jamie. I can see why they are taking so long for each one, but they will be well worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteOh you are right - those patchwork elephants are so so cute! The blocks are looking great - worth all the time they are taking :-)
ReplyDeleteTone it Down is looking really good!! 2 hrs includes picking out the fabric too? Lol I am trying to guage how much time I would need;) Lots of pieces! Will I be in over my head? ! Hehehe. Been plotting this quilt in my head for awhile though. I need the background color/low volume part. Dots come to mind over and over.
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are really great, it is worth every minute (and hours!)!
ReplyDeleteOnly 12 more blocks to go ;) I am looking forward to see the entire quilt! Just love the new fabrics, especially the one with elephants :)
