I had 6 envelopes with bright blocks inside waiting for me after work today. I felt like I'd hit the jackpot! Thanks Kathie, Terry, Corinne, Laurina, Maree and Krista!

October Sampler Blocks

Here are 10 blocks from Mary Jane.  One is an extra for "donation" as when making pairs, I just didn't stop exactly.

Curved rails mailed

I mailed my blocks to Cindy, Corinne and Andrew yesterday. It should take about one week from the UK to cross the Atlantic.

It's awesome to get mail

I got more beautiful batik curved rails in the mail today.  Thanks to Pokey, June, and Kathy.  I love them all.

Curved Rail Blocks Received

So far I have received curved rail blocks from Shannon B, Balinda W, Terry F, Corrine, Krista Z, Kathile L, Julie W, and Beatrice M.  My 30-year-old daughter has claimed them and demanded a quilt from them. I've tried to offer various quilt tops for her, and only now has she seen something she likes!  This is going to be a lovely quilt!

October - Sept.blocks mailed!

I realized after the fact, that when I posted my October blocks, I should have also mentioned that I mailed out my Sept. blocks to Janet.  I did!  The day after Sophie sent us the list of what goes where.  Hope that you have rec'd by now,... or almost!    :) 

Sept blocks mailed!

Going out today to Wilma, Janet S, and Corrine. Sorry for the delay!

Rails mailed to Corinne

Sent my blocks off today.  I was so rushed package them up that I didn't include a note or anything, just three fabric squares in an envelope (but I did put my name on the back), so I hope they arrive okay and congratulations on winning.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to make an October block in the next week or two.

October blocks take 2

I oops'd and made 3 of my blocks the same color/placement so i made 2 replacement blocks. So now these are my 6 blocks for the month.

Oct. blocks and auditioning border fabric




Here's a start for the month






I'm auditioning border fabrics for the blocks I won.
This quilt will be for my future nephew due in March.
Here are 4 to start...not sure about any of them.

What do you think?
Any suggestions?


The far left is a molted batik
Under that is a blue on blue bubble print
Then on the right is blue stripes
And lastly the electric green.

These were some fabrics I had in the stash that I found quickly.

There will be appliqued words of "Oh the places you'll go" in white along part of the border (see the cut paper, something like that)
