Chicken block swap due June 15th

[RustyHen]

fenrosie, I'm so sorry, please tell Mary that she and her family are in my prayers.

@toi-toi, your blocks turned out very cute, love the colors. I'm still just half done.

I finished mine, too! It came out springy than summery. But cheerful happy colors for sure.

Praying for Mary and her family!

Those are SO Cute!! I'm still trying to get started on mine. It won't be until after the 31st. Making stuff for a benefit for my DIL who has CF, and is to be put on the transplant list very soon. Sewing aprons for a gift basket, making red-neck beverage glasses, message boards, etc, to be sold at the auction that will be held. I have my pattern made and the material, just haven't got started sewing! Should have them done though.

This has been side tracking me from the chicken blocks.





Here are the pics of the quilt I've been working on. There are just 2 threads I need to tie and bury.


The fabric side. Hard to see in the pic but in real life you can see the quilting stitches. So you can see the infinity sign and on the date column side you can see 3 stitching lines to signify the "three strand cord" of God in the marriage. The hard geometric lines of the city buildings in the date column w/ the soft flowy feminine lines of the brocade. The date in the column being there but not really obvious was a conscious descision.




The crocheted side the infinity shape is more obvious, chosen as a more modern grown up symbol for eternal love and marriage then the "heart" sign. The 3rd quilting line on this side is there but more subtle again a conscious choice for the "3 strand cord" idea.


Over all I am happy w/ the results, really pleased w/ the symbolism I was able to incorporate, and the personalization of the date and colors/style. Still not sure if I nailed "modern contemporary" design. Glad it is over, glad I pushed my design envelope, haven't stressed over design this much in a long time.

Yep, that's something to get side tracked over. Good job. It looks very nice.

Dear Ladies, I am back in Lincolnshire for a week and thought that a quilt show would be good for me.
I have to share a quilt with you all.

Here are the chicks..

Now the Mums

And now the whole thing. Brilliant isn't it. Forgot to see who the maker was but Rosie will know.
