If the first two blocks are any indication, your quilt will be stunning! Thanks for sharing how you came up with the colors for these based on your morning's view.

I love how you have the block that looks like sunlight dancing on the water, and the block that looks like the logs of a cabin for your first two blocks. And your writing about these is so evocative and lovely, esp. considering the setting where all this creating is going on.<br /><br />Thanks for such a lovely end to my busy day. <br /><br />Elizabeth E.<br />http://occasionalpiece.wordpress.comLetterpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983311236791267553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-19943072503687022872011-06-25T12:28:13.030-07:002011-06-25T12:28:13.030-07:00I think this is my favourite post thus far about t...I think this is my favourite post thus far about this QAL.

I'm keeping a binder of the template printouts along with the template. Choosing the right fabric has been a bit of a dilemma but I think Hope Valley is looking good.

Now I know I need to make them larger and cut them to fit the squares. Sooo because there were so many pieces in the first by the journal entry, I went to the first block shown in the middle of the book. I have 7 blocks done and continue to learn with each one. Thanks for sharing your blocks and the lovely setting you are in to enjoy your quilting days.nancgardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515113452921697184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-79802824316017250072011-06-24T06:14:10.775-07:002011-06-24T06:14:10.775-07:00Wonderful post!
