Victoria Findley, Show 1404

[QuilterLynn]

Just an update on my 'bright' blocks. Starting to think, Hmmmm, now what should I do with these. How should I arrange them, should I do something besides stacking them next to each other? Something more Victoria Findley kind of creative? Hmmmmmmmmmm :lol:

Wow happy blocks

[AndreeBergeron]

If I was given these blocks, I would go to my stash and find a bright green - enough to use as sashing and border, and set them on points.

Just saying...

I agree with Andree. The little green in each block really pops out and the green sashing and border would be great.

[QuilterLynn]

Well, we'll see where it goes, won't we. Although Might be months and months. I really liked this circle and applique she did, too!

Well, I came here to apologize as the photo was removed as didn't have permission. Evidentally they obtained it. I'm here to say, sorry, Capt. John (or whoever) I didn't even think about the fact that it might be illegal. And Sorry to Victoria. Live and learn.

Enjoyed watching this one yesterday. I had thought of doing something like this after reading something similiar on Bonnie Hunter's blog. So a while back I cut up a load of scrap paper into 2 1/2" strips and put them in the box with my scraps for stitching up 'sometime'. Yesterday when re-arranging things (read putting fq's away properly :shock: ) in the sewing room, I upgraded the size of box my scraps were in (and added the baggies of pre-cut strips), Then I decided to sit down & stitch up a few strips, ended up with about 11- 2 1/2"x 8" (some of them are longer because I cut some paper strips lengthwise and others crosswise) Absolutely no Idea what will become of them, but at least they are turning into a more useable size, and I am coming to terms with what size is actually worth saving :roll:

Well seeing as you brought up Ms. Hunter....I did the same. Somebody posted a photo of a scrappy stars quilt they had made to Bonnie's blog and I just loved the orange star points. I happened to have a piece I had made after taking Jane Dunnewold's class on Craftsy and decided to do the same. It's not quite finished as I still have to quilt the border (which I made using left over four-patches, HSTs and odd strips of 4"). I did quilt as you go on this one too. And yes that is a blue sky in the background - but it didn't last long.

It's a good lap quilt size and heading very soon to a friend recovering from surgery.

Thanks ladies. I will send Bonnie a photo when I have it finished and bound.
