Stop pit Renata, the pressure. You are getting your own back for all my teasing

I've got Rita's quilt and you're not getting it Maureen it's all mine

Great quilts, Nancy....Cuddly for sure !!

Look forward to it, Wendy, but there is no doubt in my mind about how lovely your quilt must be!

Nancy, I just looked at the Craftsy class for Rock Chalk, and let me tell you, there's no comparison! While the pattern is the same, your choice of fabrics made the quilt a class act! What amazes me is that, looking at the Chapter 2 quilt Fielke demos, I would have never chosen to make it. Looking at yours immediately made me want to raid my stash. Go figure! :shock:

That's really nice of you to say that but I can't put the same sort of detail in this playing field of a quilt. Hope I've done enough to live up to your standards. I've actually enjoyed doing it and it's stretched my skills which is good. Can't wait for the reveal and we can talk properly

Thank you, Nancy. I actually have that class but only went through the first lesson and got distracted toward other things and never went back. Will certainly go back to it now! I really like that quilt a lot!

Wendy, congratulations, you're almost there, and so nice you can take a break for the holidays knowing that you will still have plenty of time to finish your quilt and send it off to Lorna. I'm so intrigued by yours, especially when I think of the beautiful pieces you've shown us already, like your animal portrait, among other things and I still can't get over the beautiful detail in my mug rug, a mini masterpiece in itself. I look forward to the reveal of your CW quilt!

Wendy, How great it must feel to be able see that light at the end of the tunnel. I am so glad you have time to do Christmas. Enjoy the holiday!

Nancy, what nice quilts you have made for your family. Thanks for sharing

I'm taking a whispers break until after Christmas due to family, mounting pile of washing and the shops calling me. So you can take a deep breath Lorna and enjoy Christmas Then I'll be blocking and on the home stretch......

They're such fun, they'll be loved. Great trees and snow!

Thanks so much, Renata & Lois! You are both too kind!

Renata - The class is "Big Techniques From Small Scraps" with Sarah Fielke. She uses this for a block setting in lesson 2: "Step-Down Piecing".

Nancy

Nancy, I love your quilts. Great job. I am sure the family will enjoy those gifts for a long time to come. Not only do I love your quilts I love the way you've displayed them. Your home must be absolutely beautiful. Lovely setting. Nice place to snuggle up in quilts or make them.

Nancy, I meant disappearing nine-patch, sorry! I've even made one, go figure! I've purchased several Craftsy classes--please don't make me go through all the ones I haven't been all the way through to find it... whose class is it for the Rock Chalk quilt pattern? If I have that one, I'll go take a closer look because I really like that design and could imagine making one. Thanks! Those basketballs give such a great sense of dimension to that quilt--great pick of fabrics, Nancy!

Hi Renata -

Actually, "Fear the Phog" is a disappearing 9-patch pattern. First, you make 9-patch blocks. Mine had the red fabric in the center, different blue fabrics in the corners and the white fabric in the center of each side. Then, you slice the 9-patch blocks into 4 smaller blocks and reassemble. There are a lot of fun arrangements for these blocks.

The swiss-cheesy fabric in "Rock Chalk" is a blue fabric with basketballs on it. The design for the piecing was based on a method I saw in a Craftsy class where the quilt is assembled using all partial seams. It takes a little longer than a pattern where you can strip piece, but it looks really cool.

Nancy

Those are great quilts, Nancy! Just love them, wish I were snuggling up with one of them. I think I recognize the pattern of the Fear the Phog, it looks like an Irish Chain quilt, but I have no idea what the Rock Chalk design is, but I LOVE IT! By the way, is it fabric with circles in it that give the Swiss cheese look from a distance in Rock Chalk? I just love that quilt! Congratulations, well done! And thanks for taking the time to post them too!
