Hi! Hard to believe that December is ending, along with the year 2015.
''The days go so slow but the years go too fast..."
I want to share the Moon and Star blocks that were our December assignment for Lori's Flags of the American Revolution [J Patek] quiltalong.
I have to say I am very blessed with dear friends who have pitched in to help me sew my Flag blocks while my painful hand heals from its injury/ arthritis/ whatever.
This block is by my friend BJ.

It is her first attempt at appliqué. Great job!
And all these blocks were sewed by my good friend here: Melody / "Mel".
|
| Moon and Star spacer blocks |
 |
| South Carolina Crescent Moons |
She really has been a lifesaver and has done so much with the quiltalong blocks for me.
Most of these blacks were hand dyed by me, my stash doesn't have as much/ many black prints as I'd wish.

Thank you Mel and BJ! And dear L who heroically sewed all the thirteen star blocks, saving them for next? time.
I'll add the link for Lori's blog Liky page when she sets it up. For now her blog is:Humble Quilts

That is going to be such a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt will be so layered with meaning by the time it's done! I have one more crescent to sew tomorrow and then I will be able to share my blocks.

ReplyDeleteWhat a unique and beautiful quilt. I've never dyed fabric. It must be a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting ready to start painting my own origami paper. Isn't it fun to experiment.
Hugs to Mo.
