Applique Thursday 3/1/12

Except for an embellishment after flimsie is assembled, this Jubilee Album block is done.  I couldn't get myself to put the red flowers - I know I didn't follow the rule of three when painting but that's the way it goes.  And I just liked that pink with the blue. 

Would love to see what you're working on (if it's applique all the better-even if it's what your dreaming about).  I love eye candy of all kinds. Just click on the blue button below.

WIP Wednesday

Okay!  Today I completed the flimsie for the February UFO!  I'm so proud of myself - from blocks to finished top.  If I get it quilted by this weekend, I'll have 2 ufos done for 2012.  Wish me time - I need that more than luck - LOL.  This is going to be a wall hanging for over my fireplace during Spring.  I've decided I like it without borders and it's just the right size for the space.  I'm calling it "Twelve Blossoms"  Oh, yes!  This quilt top was made with my modified rolling nine-patch block.  You can see the instructions for it under the tab at top called Free Patterns.

And today starts Esther Aliu's Forget me Not mystery BOM.  It sounds as if it is going to be gorgous!  Check it out: I'm linking to Judy's UFO Challenge - you can find the button on the sidebar. There you'll see what other ufos got done or made progress toward completion.

1st 2012 UFO Done!

My January UFO as part of Judy's UFO Challenge is done.  LOL - I know, it isn't Jan any more. This just took longer than I expected.  Here it is where I left off in 2011:
I was making this QAYG, so I had to add the borders one by one to get the pattern I wanted on the back.

Em chose Thimbleberries fabric for this one.  I should mention she made eleven of the blocks and I made one.  She had all the fabric needed to finish it off.

Here it is at last finished:

and the back:

I did get it done on time to show at guild.  We're having a UFO challenge there also.

I'm linking to Fabic Tuesday by Quilt Story and Linky Party Tuesdays and the 2012 UFO Challenge. Go on over and see some beautiful eye candy.  You'll find the buttons for them on my sidebar.
