SHOW AND TELL--Your Blocks

[Boots1950]

I wish I had thought ahead and changed the heart like you did, Ckewing3901. You’re blocks are lovely.

I cannot take credit for turning the heart inside the October block. A post from another participant gave me the idea.

Finished all the appliqué blocks! Now just 25 Nine patch blocks to go!

Boots 1950, It is not too late. Keep your heart block as a sample, and make a second one for the quilt. The sample can be put on the back with the label and maybe
put the year in the center of the heart. Any time you wish you had done something different, if it is not too late to change it, do it. You will be happy for years and years
that you made the change. HelenW

Thx for the suggestion, but my quilt top is finished. Tm trying to find a fabric for the 1 inch strip between the 2 border fabrics. I had the pattern, so made all my appliqué In March and April. Appliqué is my favorite part of quilting. I guess I could hold the whole quilt to change that block. I might do that. Thx.

Ckewing3901, I was just looking to see where the heart block was placed in the quilt, and I noticed the original one one month 1 also has the heart block
pedals rotating clockwise. Sue must have reversed it for the people doing raw edge applique. HelenW

Boots 1950, It does not look like it would be hard to swap the heart block out if you used Sue's layout. It it near the right side. Just remove 3 seams back, make the new
heart. attach it to that double 9 patch on the right of it and seam it back in. If you are giving the quilt away, you will probably forget about it. If it is on one of your beds, you
will be reminded every time you see it. HelenW

The photo HelenW showed is my quilt, not Sue's original layout. I will be showing that November 1 for those who want to lay theirs out exactly as she did. All of our fabric choices are different so most of our quilts will be laid out differently--the fabric placement will be most important for the overall look.

Sneak Tip--Sue put the heart block in the bottom right corner, facing IN. And her petals spin counterclockwise as you look at the heart.

Here are my September and October blocks.

Yes! All 64 blocks done. Found it easier to do those all at one time. Got into a rhythm. Now to finish the applique.

Got my 64 blocks done. Found it easier to do it this way as I got into a rhythm. Now to finish my appliqué blocks

I tried with my android phone and it never worked. Then I tried with my I pad and it gave me options to resize my photo. I chose large. I also deleted the words attachment on both sides. I fiddled quite a few times. Wish it was easier. There also maybe a delay after you press submit.
