I just returned home from quilt camp, and am linking up my October Front Porch block before I take a nap--lol!
 |
| This month's block was the birdhouse. |
 |
| I also had some time to do the smaller blocks that go to the right. I made a four patch instead of one big chunk of the floral since just to break it up a little. I love that Lori added her initials in this area--I may be borrowing that idea elsewhere in my quilt. |
 |
| And this is the entire row complete--yay!! |
 |
| I also finished my Blackbird Gatherings block before I left for camp. I have all the blocks sewn together (did it twice), but haven't had a chance to take a photo yet. The finishing instructions will be posted next month--can't wait to see what Cheri has planned. She has another cute bluebird design for autumn as part of a Buttermilk Basin blog hop HERE (click on the Happy Fall link near the end of the post)--I'm going to have to do that one as well--it's adorable!

Your "Front Porch" quilt is looking so happy! : )
ReplyDeleteLove your Blackbird Gatherings block--very cute!
All your blocks are looking amazing!
ReplyDeleteI used that red floral print in a Jan Patek heart quilt design. The top is not completely put together. Well done on your blocks.

I am in love with your Front Porch blocks and I can't wait to see it when it's finished! Love it!
ReplyDeleteYour Front Porch blocks are great. The red is bright and sharp and adds a nice punch. Sounds like you had a productive quilt camp. It's always fun to gather with like minded quilters.
ReplyDeleteLove your front porch blocks!! I have to be cheeky and ask if you sew them whilst sitting on the front porch? I bet quilt camp was lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteSuch nice blocks - pretty floral and a great idea to use a nine patch -
ReplyDeleteI"m kicking myself in the butt for not starting that Front Porch quilt with you! I love how yours is coming along. I also love the Blackbird Gatherings....but I'm not on facebook....darn.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good idea that you have going on.
