First day's progress

Once again I'm amazed by the productivity of these Wisconsin quilters! They're prolific and have such great taste in fabrics!! They inspire me to focus!! We know I need the help!! Vbg

I did get my Barbara Brackman Stars in a Time Warp all caught up!!
They said purple!!  

Double pink

Blues 

Poison green. Can you see the arrows I used for the background? I got it at JJ's Stitches. 
Matters. Or is it Madder??

Here are some pictures of what some of the women have sewn already!

That's a pattern from the Jelly Roll
 book. 

This was made using one woman's late husband's shirts!

This has a small wool appliquéd center. The hsts are very small!

This is Pat's X's and O's, which I'm very happy I finished last fall!

I've also been working on a swap we've done based on a quilt in Fons and Porter's magazine last fall called Cheddar Delight. There are lots of quarter square triangles which are fortunately not terribly small!

We took a trip today to Spring Green's Country Sampler. I'll show you the pictures tomorrow.

  4. Nice projects Randy! Your cheddar delight looks great on that long table.

    Questions, the x and o quilt, that's like the one on your blog header right? Who did that pattern?
    Also on the husbands shirts blocks you photoed, I can see a pattern to each block yet it appears kind of random. Is she using a pattern for that block, can you ask her what it is?

  5. I absolutely LOVE the cheddar fabric ... do you know if it is a Jo Morton print? I want to do something with cheddar as my "neutral" but just haven't found it yet ... this looks like it might fit the bill. Could you SEND me a clip of it so I can try and find here? I'll PM you my address if you'd like. Happy to pay the postage! ALL the projects look great ... I just LOVED Spring Green ... Taliesen, Frank Lloyd Wright and all ... it's GORGEOUS in the late Spring/Summer and fall colors are breathtaking. The place you're retreating at looks like it would be wonderful. Glad you are enjoying! Linda
