Ritzy, Bridget, and Maggie - great blocks! Each one is individual, just like each of you! I am still slowly making progress on mine - needleturn. And I want to try to turn the brown stems, just to see if I can do it!

Got those French Knots done and my picture is posted. I used a variegated brown for the thread.

Maggie in E. Central Illinois, where it is so humid outside my windows are fogging up! Yikes! I hope it rains tonite!

Ditto from me for Ritzy and Bridget. The blocks are beautiful. Mine is finished and soaking in Retayne overnight to get out the buildup of glue. I ended up doing the small stems in small zig zag stitch and French knots. After looking at a closeup of Bridget's block I realized I had completely forgotten the small stems of baby's breath in the center of the grouping!! I may put it in or I may just leave it out. Will decide tomorrow.

Great work, Briget and Ritzy. I brought mine to work today in case it was slow. .................... It wasn't! Nothing done.

Beautiful blocks Ritzy and Bridget and quick.

Bridget--your block is beautiful. I am going to finish my baby's breath after the quilting is done. I have some beads that are cup shape and you can put a small seed bead inside that I am thinking of using. I have to get them out and see if their size is right. If not, I will use crystals or french knots. I will add a new picture when I get it done.

Now I am really confused . I originally thought I like the black background and wondered what should I do as I really haven't started yet. But instead, I bought some light background and now after looking at Ritzy's blocks, the black really make the bold colors pop. I think I need to buy some black. I guess you always go with your first choice. Hmmmmmmm Judy in AZ

Ritzy and Bridget, AWESOME blocks! Ritzy, are you gonna do more embellishment with the baby's breath, or leave as is? I think it looks great as is. Also, leaving off the large leaves looks great. Love you color choices for the flowers!

Bridget, I know what you mean about those french knots! That is what I am working on right now. Gonna catch up on some of series 3 shows that I have yet to view while I am doing them!

Maggie in E. Central Illinois, enjoying quality time in my quilting room!

Ritzy and Bridget love your blocks, I am working on mine. Slow but sure. I am doing needleturn.

What great colors Ritzy! I finished my block today as well and posted it on my profile. I have learned that I don't really like doing french knots but love how they look on the block!

Ritzy--You're our speed BOM'er! I just love the dark backgrounds. I'm downloading all the patterns and they're on my "gonna do it someday" list! With darks!

the color choices are very nice, Ritzy!!

My August BOM-machine applique is posted.

To answer Susan's question, up until recently, I worked on one project at a time. I like to see things finished in a timely manner. Unfortunately, I've now become a typical quilter with several projects going at once. When the new BOM is available, I put aside what I've been working on until the new BOM block is complete.
