Is anyone doing Lisa Bongean's quilt along, The Magic of Christmas? Being oh so clever, if you recall, I decided to do both versions, Country and City. Moved right along through Block 3 and then I don't know what happened. When I looked up they were on Block 13. So I spent a week catching up.
Yes, those are 1" finished half square triangles....ugh!
One thing I discovered is that prints that are not as busy or dense work best in these smaller light colored blocks. These above and below are way too busy, but no way I am doing them over.
Twenty fiddly little 6" blocks. I mean, these blocks are not easy...they have lots of points and pieces...a true gesture in patience and accuracy. But caught up....until the day after I finished these when she posted FOUR more!
When will this ever end????
The past two days I have been staying with the grand teens while their parents are in Arizona. This is a pic of them, along with girlfriend Christine, tonight.
Christi is being recognized as Caregiver of the Year at the Society of Neurooncology Convention in Scottsdale, Arizona.
That meant a lovely, free get away for she and Rob, in addition to the well deserved honor. People often don't realize what a huge undertaking caregiving can be. So blessed to claim this sweet girl as my daughter.
Take care,Jennie
Great job on the blocks. Wish I had time to join in on the fun. Congratulations to your daughter, a well deserved honor to be sure.
ReplyDeleteYou are quilter extraordinaire. Both versions are beautiful. That was a lot of catching up to do!
ReplyDeleteWhat a well deserved honor for Christi. Such a nice getaway for her and Rob. I still smile every time I think of his last check up. What a blessing.
Hugs :)

The two versions of the blocks have more of a different look than I thought they would. Both nice.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are really pretty! I still have to do the most recent 4 blocks. I'm only making her country version. I don't know if you noticed this but your print fabric block, pictured third from the bottom has the upper 2 HST units going the wrong way. Sorry I just thought you'd want to know before you spotted it in a finished quilt. Can't wait to see the rest of your blocks.
