Margo, I have a question please in regard to the quilting that was done on your Beloved Beauties Ruffled Roses. I did read that you machine quilted the center block, and several of the additional borders, yourself.....but is the entire quilt, machine quilted by you? I do some hand quilting, but it is not one of my stronger traits...grin. I had not thought about having this quilt machine quilted, but yours is so beautiful, it might have changed my mind. :shock:

Janice and Sue, Your blocks are beautiful!!!! Great job. I am off to a fabric sale tomorrow and still haven't started my block. For anyone who is debating about the piping, I have made crumbcatchers in the past. They are basically piping without the piping cord. You get the same effect with the color of the fabric. You just done get the 3d effect. However they are that bit easies to do. Same principal, but omit the cord. Whenever I have used them they always seem to add that 'something' to a quilt.

Sue, your block is very delicate looking. You did a wonderful job!

Thank you to everyone for the kind words about MY center block. I am not a pink person at all, but I love the "Beloved Beauties" fabric because of the diversity in it. It was fun to mix and match the checks and stripes, etc. Plus, I added a few Jo Morton fabrics to it. I am excited to figure out what colors and shapes to add to next month's borders.

Here is my center block at the moment. I haven't squared it up and cut it down yet, but I will. When I have my corners put on, I will post a picture. I did freezer paper, needle-turn, hand applique on my block. As I keep saying, it took me a long time as I am very slow....but I am really enjoying it.

Janice,

Don't forget to post your picture of the center block in the 2011 show and tell section. I love going there and looking at all of the blocks.

Sue it looks great! If you don't have the binding ruler by Susan Cleveland http://www.piecesbewithyou.com/patterns_pipinghotbinding_detail.htm

you can also use an "Add-A-Quarter" ruler. You just have to be a little more careful to line up the cording next to the lip of the ruler!

Or you can add several layers of painters tape to the bottom side of a regular ruler to create a lip to snug up against the cording. Where there's a will......

Margo you are a fount of wisdom about different ways to achieve things and you think of inexpensive ways as well
Sue well done on completion of your first block its looking good

I have just finished my applique of my center block. I traced my vine onto the green and cut away as I went. I traced my shapes onto my fabric and needle turned the rest. I have had a great time with this block so far. I'm still thinking about trying the piping. I don't have the tool but may try some and see how it comes out. I was thinking of using the dark purple as the piping but will audtion some of the other fabrics as well.
