A few things currently on the go. Road to Fortune is growing at 12 blocks. I love the look of this. The paper pieced blocks aren't too time consuming but this is my slow quilting project and I only do one block a week. It is nice having a slow project without time lines or plans beyond the one block a week.
I made 2 extra blocks for my month of That Stash bee. I have been watching blocks in the flickr group. I cannot wait to see them in the mailbox. I have this crazy idea to have the whole black and white quilt with one lone triangle of colour somewhere in a block. I have not decided if I will actually do it but it is somehow most tempting.
The garden is also a work in progress. I am currently declaring war on buttercups that just love to grow in the flower beds. And the peonies are blooming... mmm, just so pretty.
Linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced for work in progress Wednesday and The Needle and Thread Network too.
Beautiful peony!
ReplyDeleteThe road to fortune blocks are really coming together too. Are you using a variety of whites? It's tough to tell. Looking great though.
Your Road to Fortune is marvelous :)
ReplyDeleteWOW - love both of these!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMay I ask where you got the pattern for your Road to Fortune blocks from??? I am Queen Bee soon in my group and I would love to do something like this.

You are going to have two very cool quilts, Cathy! I like your lone triangle idea, too. That peony is gorgeous and I'm sure it smells amazing, too. Fun fact: They are the state flower of Indiana!

ReplyDeleteI love your Road to Fortune, it is so bright and pretty. That is a great way to work on it, no rush. It is nice to have something without a deadline. I would love to see your bee block completed, it will be amazing, I think the design is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell that Peony, one of my favorites.
I'm loving the black and white one! It is amazing what you can do with HST.
ReplyDeleteYour Road to Fortune is awesome! And I totally think you should put a spot of color in the black and white quilt - that would be fun! Making your blocks tonight...
