I'm finally caught up!

Here are Jenny's flying geese and Kim's star!

Jenny, I had so much fun making flying geese with the tutorial you listed! There are 16 finished in the package coming to you and there are 4 more 1/2 finished... I ran out of fabric but I sent them to you in case you have enough to finish them!
Kim, I finished your star as well and it will go in the mail tomorrow as long as you like the colors. I love this star pattern, we used it a couple of years ago for stars in red, white and blue for some quilts we made for soldiers coming home. I want to make another throw using it I think!
Blessings,

Are you interested in a little challenge?

Our small community has a big celebration every 5 years when everyone comes back and they have an all school reunion the last weekend of May. This year, our little quilt group is hosting a quilt show and a Quilters Challenge! The theme this year is "Pages from the Ages." The group selected 5 fabrics that represent different periods in history and has put together a small kit with 6" squares. The challenge is to create a quilted item no larger than 18"x18" using a minimum of 1" of 4 of the 5 fabrics!

Anyone up to the challenge? The projects must arrive here by May 22 and will be displayed at the quilt show. There will be "People's Choice" prizes for the top 3 challenge projects.

Email me at quiltnmama2@gmail.com or leave a comment and I'll get in touch with you and send you a kit:)

Blessings,
Gayly

2 Blocks by 2 Sisters

Hi Kim. Here are your blocks. Christy and I made them together today. Hope you like them. We really had trouble keeping to just two colors. Makes a really subtle star.

question for Kim


Kim, I can't beleive I dont have any fabrics that are aqua/turquoise and brown!!  Well maybe this one...but I wanted to show you what I pulled from my stash to work with.  I know that getting the colors right is important, please let me know if these work, and if they do, which you prefer...I don't mind a quick trip to the fabric store, really...

A Nameless Star for Kim

Hi Guys! I'm so excited for my month! <3

The block I chose is one that Christy found for me way back in month #1! It is "No Name Star" and can be found here....

For fabrics I'm wanting turquoise/aqua and brown prints. I really love geometrical patterns, but buroque and damask patterns are good too! Also please try to stick to only the turquoise/aqua/browns (i.e. no cream or other colored backgrounds on the prints, no other shades of blue, and I really like medium "chocolate" browns, please! :) ). I don't mind if you use a solid/print of just one of the colors if you can't find fabric that has both the turquoise/aqua and brown together.

Getting the right colors is the main thing I  care about! Just have fun &  be creative. The pictures are examples of colors/prints I like!


I think I'm going to end up with a great quilt thanks to all of you!

Big thanks to Melissa for helping me figure out placing the pictures! You are awesome!
