Bluework Wallhanging Done





This bluework has been such fun! I really enjoyed finishing each block, even though I am ahead of schedule. I chose the aqua/turquoise fabrics to blend with the floss I choose. I wanted a touch of this in my bedroom to brighten it up.

I quilted squares around each block and then in the borders. It did not take very long but used up a lot of thread . . . I only had to unpick a little bit. It measures 33" x 48". I had just the right wall to put it on. I still need to put the hanging sleeve on the back but that will only take a few minutes in the evening.

This project has been a joy and I just smile each time I gaze in it's direction. Thank you for being patient and following me as I completed the wall hanging . . you are the best!

Now to use up the extra fabric in the Take No Prisioners Plan . . . watch and see what I create now . . .

Bluework Block Done #11


I am excited that I only have the June block to finish now. It has a bit more to it so it will be a couple of days before this is done. My Turquoise/blue fabrics awaits the blocks. It will be such a feeling of accomplishment when it is done and added to the list.

Bluework Block Done #9


I love this pattern. The wall hanging will be beautiful when done and now the blocks just seem to fly with the touch of the needle. This one was finished in one evening. The buttons will be added when the wall hanging is done. It is a happy design. Thank you Lorene for choosing this pattern for the Redwork Club at Quilter's Oasis.

Bluework


Block Five is now done and block six is awaiting it's turn . . . Sorry I am not just doing one a month . . . I have lots of things I have to finish and the evenings just compel me to get with it . . . I also have fifty-five christmas ornaments to embroider so I really do need to keep up the pace . . .

More Blue Work



Happily I am marching on with my Bluework blocks. Blocks for March and April are now done except for the buttons . . . I am about half way done with number May. Somehow I am driven to get this completed even though it is the project for the Redwork club for the year . . . sometimes this just happens . . .
