You know that there is a lot of temptation out there in blog land. There is always something fun that you can be a part of or some new fabrics you can see (or buy) or a new quilting idea that you can try.
Lately, I've been noticing all of the Garden Fence blocks on some of my favorite blogs. The blocks are all so different, and I can't stop looking at them. So I had a weak moment.
I went over to McIntyre Girl's blog just to have a look around. She is hosting the quilt along. Then I decided maybe I would just make enough of these blocks for a table runner. I know you're laughing. How many times have you said that? I'll just make a few blocks-----just enough for a table runner or small wall hanging?
Here's what I have done so far. These blocks finish at 10", and there are no seams to match. Honest! They go together very quickly and easily.
Thanks to Judy L. at Patchwork Times for hosting Design Wall Monday.
Be sure to visit McIntyre Girl's blog. Besides being a quilter and hosting the Garden Fence quilt along, she just gave birth to her 3rd daughter.
I hope you are finding some time to stitch today.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit!
Cute! I'm making a wallhanging with the same fabric, and I NEED the fabric in the upper left corner. I'm going shopping tomorrow. I am NOT going to make one of these quilts. I am NOT....
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun pattern. Very cute in the fabrics you have chosen. But I am putting myself on a "No new projects" diet. We'll see how long that lasts! : )
ReplyDeleteThe blocks look great, I like your choice of fabric, the colors are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHi LuAnn,
ReplyDeletethese blocks look pretty, I wonder how many more you will make.

They look wonderful! This project was just too hard for me to resist too - I love the look of these blocks.
ReplyDeleteThe blocks look great and I certainly know what you mean about starting with just a few blocks but ... A lot of my quilts start out very small but like Topsy just keep growing. Take care.
ReplyDeleteLove the lively colorful print & accesorizing fabrics.

Very interesting blocks and really cute fabric. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteYour squares are nice with cute prints. You could always make a few table runners, and keep some for Christmas gifts! I'm glad to hear there are few matching seams, love those kind of blocks ~

Hi LuAnn your blocks look great. I posted you a parcel just over a week ago so hopefully you get it very soon,
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty blocks! I guess I've been visiting the wrong blogs because I haven't seen that pattern before.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors they are so happy. I have also seen alot of these and they always make me smile.
ReplyDeleteYour off to a great start! I keep looking at this one, too. It really is a fabulous quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove all your blocks LuAnn. I need to buy some brighter fabric. I'm loving all I see.
ReplyDeleteBow Ties are gorgeous.
