More Beauties

I have been plugging away at my NYB blocks. I need 4 more to complete the 4x4 layout I have in mind right now. The colors are becoming a little more challenging because I have some restrictions set by what has been used already and how to make it balanced and right in the layout I have in mind. I will need one set of two from one pattern that are both colored the same, and one set of two from another pattern that are colored differently to complete the scheme.



While piecing these blocks I have managed to complete the set of HST blocks for another quilt center (right) and border a little mini that was trimmings left over from something else. Yea for efficiency!
To see what other industrious quilters are up to today check out DWM over at Patchwork Times. I am off this morning to pick up the teacher quilt I have posted about from the long arm quilter... I am anxious to see how the quilting has come out. Have a great Monday.

  5. I love NYBs and your's are great. I have been getting back into pp just so I can make another NYB quilt: my first and only one was really just the back for a vest. Now I want to do something bigger. ;-)

  11. Very nice job on all, the HST is really a great looking and something that I could do. The NYB are so pretty but look so challenging.

  12. I love how these look in the CT TnT fabrics. Hmmm, you were tempted and now you are tempting me!

    Also looking at your Zentangle work (great, BTW)---do you plan to translate or incorporate it into stitch/quilt work?
