More Farm Girl Fridays Blocks

Hello! First, if you are looking for the Cozy Afternoon BOM Giveaway, click HERE. We are having rain again...thanks to "Bill" who is a hurricane or tropical storm...not sure which. People here just got their livestock back in the barn and I hope they don't get flooded out again. Speaking of the barn, I finished the other two blocks for the Farm Girl Fridays QAL. I don't know why but my blocks just look horrible. I don't know if it's my eyes or just my stitching. But, here they are anyway. Here is the 12" block:

No, until I took a photo of this block, I did not realize that those same two flowers were next to each other. Uggg. I thought I was being clever and making my 12" blocks with solid backgrounds but now, I'm at a loss as to what to use for sashing. I have 17 of these blocks finished and think I might go ahead an make a top out of 16 of them. Here's a collage of the 12"er's minus a couple of blocks that I've done ahead.

Here's my 6" Egg Basket Block...ugg...

It's a poor photo--not a bad pressing job. But I just don't like the fabrics together. Bet you've never seen that red floral fabric together. Here's a collage of the 6" blocks. I think I need quite of few more of those to make a top:

I hope you'll sign up for the Cozy Afternoon BOM. I can't wait to see what fabrics you choose and how you plan to finish your quilt. I seems really manageable, time wise, and like a quilt that I can actually finish! Click HERE for the details BUT not before you leave a comment on yesterday's blog post so that you'll be entered to win a free pattern from the designer, Jacquelynne, herself. Take care ladies...I'm going to bring up the trash cans before the next round of wind, rain and hail! XO from Bev

Missy Shay said...: I like your blocks, As for the sashing, maybe you can do a scrappy sashing out of the fabric you have been using for your blocks? We've been getting a lot of rain here too.; June 16, 2015 at 7:05 PM
margaret said...: you are having a downer on these blocks Bev they are looking great when all together, rather like the turquoise you have showed them on, maybe that would work for the sashing.
Fingers crossed you do not get too much rain, we have drizzle today typical I had planned to cut the privet hedges; June 17, 2015 at 1:23 AM

To All My Dogs Who Have Gone On Before Me

An Important Personal Message

My dear friends - Have you noticed that the world seems to be getting more and more evil and corrupt? Have you ever wondered, assuming that Revelations is true, where we are time-wise and what will happen in the last days? At the bottom of this page, there is a 7 minute video that has no narration, just Bible facts about the sequence of events and where we might be. Of course, some of you won't think this is important, some of you might look at the video to see what the Bible does say and some of you may be offended and unfollow me. I personally believe that time is short. We are at 30 seconds to midnight. Things are coming this year that will affect the USA. Watch or not. I mean no offense. If I believe there is something to warn you about and I don't do it, I will be held accountable. I care about what happens to all of us. In love!
