Don't worry about the quilt police Terri. They can't bother you when they're at my house! They have apparently hired my 5-year-old daughter to join their "force". As I was (finally) finishing my July block, she came up to me and said, "You're still working on that?" Well, now it's done and posted.
Everybody's blocks are so beautiful! I constantly find myself thinking, "I should have done that!" or "What a great idea!" -
Great Bridget,
I especially like your 'rooster vase!'Comment

Bridget, great block! My hats off to ya for working with the EQ! I have it, but haven't had the patience to learn it.
Maggie in E. Central Illinois, looking forward to another day in my quilting room.Comment

Ur block is lovely, as always Bridget. I applaud u for doing those tiny circles!

Ditto here! Great block, Bridget. We must be on the same schedule (lol) as I just finished and posted my block, as well. I'm just thrilled I was able to complete it while it's still July! Now on to August (I did make up the red circles in advance for that one, so perhaps I'll be quicker on August!)Originally posted by QuilterLynnComment

Bridget and Linda great blocks. Is this not fun, you get to see what everyone else is doing?

Ok, McQuilter, how do you know what block is August?Comment

Oops, my mistake, the little red berries are for the October block. :roll: I think it was Nancy who asked how many berries were on that block and she was told the number; I had time on my hands, so I made them, as well. Now if I can just remember where I put them by the time October rolls around!Originally posted by QuilterLynn
ops: JK - I know EXACTLY where I put them! As far as next month goes, it's roses and baby breath, according to a statement at the end of the instructions. Not sure which block that is, though! I think it might be 2nd from the top, far right.

Don't you love how Bridget has pasted her block photos into an Electric Quilt layout so that she can see what her quilt will look like? How cool is that - I love it!
That reminds me -- since you all have been soooo creative when it comes to choosing fabrics, colors, workarounds, etc... I fully expect you to all depart the ranch (that's a good old Texas expression for not following the rules and rebelling!) and assemble your quilts in untold varieties of ways. I can hardly wait to see how your creativity displays itself.
I have been working on a second TQS Bouquet quilt... same fabrics, but maybe, just maybe... I'll change up the setting! Stay tuned....

Thank you so much Sue. But I can't take credit for the EQ6 idea. I believe it was Sandy who mentioned using EQ6 earlier to play around with the setting. Is this a great group or what? So full of ideas and creativity! And I'm looking forward to seeing your "other" quilt too!Comment
-
Bridget, I loved that comment about the quilt police living at your house :-) Kids just crack me up. I love the border fabric you chose! I got EQ6 for my birthday but haven't had much time to play with it yet.

Bridget, I hadn't noticed your EQ6 arrangement before! Your blocks look awesome. What a nifty tool!Comment

QuilterLynn, it's really easy to figure it out by looking at the fabric requirements for the month. I'm pretty sure it is right-hand end of second row. It's fun to try to figure it out and then you can make your fabric choices ahead of time. Hooray...no berries next month! And I have my October berries done and ready to goOriginally posted by QuilterLynn

I finally finished my July BOM and posted it. Whew! What a challenge. I'm looking forward to some bigger pieces next month.

Barbara, great block! The fabric you used for the berries is so funky! LOVE IT! Is that a french knot on top of the teeny circles? Also love the fabric for the little hearts. When I was doing mine, I kept thinking about my grandma and her telling the story of transplanting her bleeding hearts from Kentucky to Illinois.
Maggie in E. Central Illinois, another beautiful day in store!Comment
