I was surprised again, to see one of my blocks here (#8). I’ve actually decided these blocks are a little dull, so I’m experimenting with cutting them up, as in the disappearing ninepatch, and repositioning them. I’ve only gotten a little way, but you can see them on the flickr group, and at my blog, http://justenoughtime.wordpress.com. I’m thinking I need to add a dark or bright contrast somewhere to spark these blocks up even a little more.

These are fantastic! I need to use up my ‘extra bits of fabric’ that I know we all have, making these! These are very reminiscent of the quilts my grandmother use to have in her house when I was a little girl. Ahh good memories! I love this blog, it always reminds me of the good things in life!

This is so great. I’m working on quilting 2 ‘space’ theme quilts for my boys and had never quilted before. I also homeschool. I decided the best thing to do, would be to cut out all the materials I have and let the boys create their own quilt. They’ve been moving quilt blocks around for days and taking pictures of ‘their’ creations. Imagine my sons (and my hehe) surprise to find that the blocks they’d ‘created’ already had names!
I’d seen the ‘disapearing 9 patch’ and figured it’d be a good way to hone my non-existant quilting skills (I’m a sewist) while they figured out what they wanted. So here I am, doing the block along, and didn’t even know it until last night! Now to upload the pictures!

I am so envious of all the talent I see here!! What a wonderful job you have done with each quilt. Such inspiration….I should be trying instead of surfing

I just have to say this is so addicting. I’ve put up three blocks this week – all three of the log cabin blocks shown. Thanks for the tutorials and encouragement!

Why does quilt month have to be the shortest month of the year? I could see this topic going on for a long time!
