I saw this little quilt first on Quilt Hollow's blog; and when my magazine arrived, I just could not resist it. It will end up as a pillow or a wallhanging in the guest bedroom. It can be found in the August 2011 issue of APQ magazine and was designed by Annemarie S. Yohnk. Now I just need to find the perfect medium value tan for the first inner border and then I will try to mimic the quilting design.
I have made lots of progress on Autumn Houses.
Even though the shapes are made, there are many little applique stitches that still need to be sewn.
Block 1, 3 and 6 are totally completed and 4, 5 & 7 are half done.
I was thrilled to see that Nives, from Northern Italy, and Kathie, from Sydney, Australia, have posted their recent 1880 sampler blocks on the flicker site. Nives' blocks are closer to the same colors as mine, but Kathie has chosen a brown and pink theme that is very warm and inviting. I hope to have collages of their blocks to share, but if you can't wait to see them, check them out here.
Today's goal is to get my exchange blocks made for my SSQSG meeting in July. They need to be 4" finished blocks and I need 6 of them. We exchange blocks every other month. I missed the June meeting, but you can read all about it on Merumo's blog and see her collection of blocks so far.
Oooooo be still my heart! I just love Sweet Carolina and still have yet to make this one! It is on my to-do list!!! Seeing yours just ignites that desire to make it!!
ReplyDeleteLove it, love it!!!!

I was also tempted to make the sweet carolina quilt. Yours is lovely.
ReplyDeleteAutumn Houses is so charming. Is this your design?
Lovely work Cheryl as always. I popped over to Merumo;s blog. You share time with some very talented ladies. I would be proud to take credit for all their work.
ReplyDeleteI gravitate towards quilts with houses on them. Yours being in an autumn theme (my favorite time of year) have piqued my interest.

Isn't that a great magazine, your Carolina block is fantastic, another one I loved in this magazine. The houses are wonderful. Have fun with the swap.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love that Carolina block! I would love to make a quilt out of those blocks. I will have to see if I can find that magazine. You are making GREAT progress on your Autumn houses! Fall is my favorite time of year !
ReplyDeleteI like your Sweet Carolina block very much. It's so crisp and pretty! I just had to make that project too when I saw it. The way it's quilted in the magazine is WAY to hard for me - I look forward to seeing how you quilt yours.
