Here is my Westering Women block for July! ROUND ROBIN block for the next season at my quilt guild. I decided I would do it for another year because the RR quilts came out so nice. If I get very frustrated this year with coming up with a new border every month, I might not do a third year of it.
I don't know what happened to my mind, but I had been looking at the Civil War Quilts web site to see when the August block will be posted. The August one will be posted on the 31st, so currently I am up to date. I like it that these are 12" blocks. And we only have to do one per month. I'm not sure it will make a big enough quilt but I can always add wider sashing and borders.
This RR block is also 12" and I made it with CW fabrics, so that probably added to my confusion! Am I getting old or what? I found this block in Quiltmaker's 100 Block Vol. 2 from Winter 2010. It was done in black, red and white. It was stunning, but that doesn't really go with my decor, so I opted for the CW fabrics and changed the black to blue.
I'm also trying to get some projects finished for a possible craft show coming up in December. I have 3 of each of these pillows almost finished. They were in a panel and I also have a lap quilt that goes with them. The pillow cover tops are quilted and the backs have a velcro closure so they can be taken off and washed.
Have a nice weekend!
Your RR block is very pretty, I would choose to do it in red, white and blue, too. Love the combination. The center fabric really shines in there. The pillow covers are pretty, too. I like the fall colors in them. I think they will be nice for your craft show. Enjoy your weekend, too!
ReplyDeleteYour RR block is stunning! I hope your RR buddies will add some repro fabrics in their go-rounds. I'm seriously thinking about adding a central medallion on my Westering Women quilt and setting the blocks on point. That should make it a good queen size I think. Still have to work out the details on that but first I need to start setting all those Quilty 365 circles. Have over 300 of them finished (a bit ahead of the game for once).
ReplyDeleteThat's a very pretty block, and the fabrics are beautiful! The pillows are really pretty too. ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteYour block is a great combo of fabrics, for whatever project it may be intended. : )
ReplyDeleteDo you often do craft fairs? Seems like so much work to me (I am such a lazy quilter).
great block!
ReplyDeleteI really like all of the blocks. Speaking of "stunning", that's what your header is with that prize-winning quilt.
