These are the 25 blocks for Cheri Payne's Everyday Patchwork series on her blog. I will add five more blocks to make a rectangular quilt instead of a square one. I love some of these blocks, others not so much. And some I disliked making but like the finished block a lot.
I used lots of scraps for the blocks but also cut into some new fabric. Some of the light blocks look really light. I won't tea dye them because I will want to wash and dry this quilt without losing color. But I have some walnut dye I made last fall that I may use on the very lightest ones. We'll see.
Finishing these blocks was my One Monthly Goal for May so I'm linking this post to One Monthly Goal - May Finish link-up at Elm Street Quilts. Thanks for hosting, Patty.

Great blocks! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and congrats on your finish.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Patty.
DeleteLove, love your blocks Nancy. I think they have come together very nicely. I also like your Liberty block and will enjoy seeing what you do with those patterns. Cheri really made her mark, didn't she.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jocelyn. A few more steps for these blocks before I can put them together in a quilt. Oh, that Liberty quilt-along is turning out to be a challenge to my limited skills. I think part of it is that I feel new to the primitive style of quilting -- I haven't quite "got it" yet. Yes, Cheri did make her mark.
DeleteGreat looking blocks. I like the variations in the backgrounds. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cynthia. I hope the borders and sashing help unify the variety of the blocks!
DeleteA lovely collection of blocks. And your colours all play really nicely together too! Thanks for sharing with 'sew stitch snap SHARE'
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Linda. I think (and hope!) the borders and sashing help unify the blocks.
DeleteHi Nancy, me again. Did you see there is going to be a Christmas stitch along on Cheri's site as well?
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I saw that! I don't think I can add one more hand project right now, though. I also like the memory blocks they're doing (added the 15th of each month). The first one of the mother and child with kite and heart are so sweet. Will you participate in the Christmas stitch-along?
DeleteWhat a good finish for May - One Monthly Goal!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Maureen.
