My July block is posted on my profile. I put it in quilt photos and realized that I had to go down the list checking off all the little boxes for quilts. I also discovered that it showed up in the quilt gallery. I hadn't meant for that to happen since it is only a block at this point. Next time, I will delete a picture from the extra pictures area and use that space. Live and learn.
Leslie, who now has a guilt free week until the August BOM pattern is posted.

Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	Barbara since you are fairly new to the forum, you may not be aware of the tutorials that I'm posting on my Webshots albums. You might want to see how I did mine for future reference, but your idea of wool is a great alternative! http://community.webshots.com/user/TennGram?vhost=community

Thanks Maggie. The berries are a "poison yellow" or Chrome yellow reproduction fabric just out from Jo Morton. I did do a french knot in the wool small berries to hold them in place. A most accomplished appliquer/friend and I tried to needle turn the berries - when she couldn't do it, I knew it was next to impossible so we used wool. I did the bleeding hearts twice. The other fabric I used did not have enough contrast with the background, so I restarched all those little pieces. I wasn't happy at the time, but I'm glad I redid them. This project has been an awesome learning experience for me. I'll be sad when its over.

maggieszafranski OFFLINE Posts: 694	Barbara, great block! The fabric you used for the berries is so funky! LOVE IT! Is that a french knot on top of the teeny circles? Also love the fabric for the little hearts. When I was doing mine, I kept thinking about my grandma and her telling the story of transplanting her bleeding hearts from Kentucky to Illinois. Maggie in E. Central Illinois, another beautiful day in store!

Ok, McQuilter, how do you know what block i
s August?

QuilterLynn, it's really easy to figure it out by looking at the fabric requirements for the month. I'm pretty sure it is right-hand end of second row. It's fun to try to figure it out and then you can make your fabric choices ahead of time. Hooray...no berries next month! And I have my October berries done and ready to go
