Blocks three and four for week two! They're actually reversed in this picture - the basket is block three. I haven't put the handle on my basket yet because I was to practice my reverse applique skills a little before I do it - if that doesn't work out I'll use the template for machine applique.
Blocks five and six for week three. I'm finding it a little difficult to use the DS Quilts collection in each of my blocks because there are some favourite scraps that I want to use in my blocks that just do not look good with the DS Quilts so I'm contemplating adding in another collection to use as a base too - right now I'm thinking either Prince Charming or Meadowsweet. What do you guys think?
Here are the fabrics I used for these guys:
Basket:
DS Quilts
Prospect Park by Kitty Yoshida
Basket Weave:
DS Quilts
Prospect Park by Kitty Yoshida
Modern Meadow by Joel Dewberry
Bat Wing:
DS Quilts
Aviary by Joel Dewberry
Big Dipper:

Parisville by Tula Pink
And just a little update for you all on what's going on with Canada Post: yes, we are still without mail service but the government had proposed back-to-work legislation which could pass as early as Thursday. This means that we could have mail service again very soon - hurray! I for one will be very happy when the post gets back up and running!
Great start Kaye! Are you doing them in order?
ReplyDeleteThey're really pretty, Kaye! :)
ReplyDeleteLook good Kaye :o) I finally caught up and just need to sew week four blocks.
ReplyDeleteThey look fab! I got thoroughly carried away this week and made 5 blocks, but I suspect I might get less productive in the coming weeks.
ReplyDeleteHope postal strike is resolved soon! I'd hate for your Liberty fabrics to be delayed when they cross the pond :)
