Oh, yes! Lori of Humble Quilts had a QAL (quilt a long) with this quilt last year - or was it the year before? - and I bought the book, but had other projects to work on so I didn't participate then. So, last month, I started looking at this pattern again, and besides the eagle in the middle, it looked pretty easy - and I'm all about easy.
This is the whole quilt.
So, I thought I would get started with some of the easiest blocks.
Before I knew it, I had 12 blocks finished!! All from my stash. Of course, I'm machine appliquéing them, so that makes it a lot faster too. So, what will I do when I get all the blocks finished except the middle one? There's that eagle. And he's a rather strange looking one at that!
My next post is my 700th!!! I think I'll have a give-a-way to celebrate! So be sure to check back in a few days.
It is a great quilt. You are buzzing through those blocks!
ReplyDeleteAm I remembering correctly that on that SAL Lori had with this quilt that some women (or was it just one) used a different eagle design? That is always a possibility. : )
700 posts? Wow. That is worth celebrating!
I watched as Lori did this quilt and I love it, except maybe for the eagle, it is rather funny looking. I'll keep watching to see what your finished quilt looks like!
ReplyDelete700 posts, that's amazing. Keep posting, I love hearing what you are doing.
Look at you go! Twelve blocks already - so much fun to find a project you can get into so quickly, and rewarding to see the finished blocks add up. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI made the quilt top (and it is still just a top) along with Lori. The eagle block is the hardest one to do. The rest will fly by.
ReplyDeleteNice job! I love my quilt, but I will say I ordered the "button stars" from Jan Patek and they make it too uncomfortable to be on top of the quilt (sharp edges)! Regular buttons would be better.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a fun quilt to make. I think most of us kept the original eagle... for better or for worse! 700 posts - that's amazing! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you do all you do! Your blocks are looking good, and no doubt the completed project will too. As for your 700th post, I think I've read most of them; and that's been going on a long time! I try not to miss a one! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely a quilt for you Ruth. A real folk art piece and isn't it terrific how quickly the blocks came together.
ReplyDeleteWow - looks really great. Your fabric choices are wonderful.
