I have been making these plaid hourglass blocks for several months and estimate that I have about 2/3 or the number required. Fortunately, this project has no particular deadline and I pick it up whenever I need a change of pace. It will primarily be used by my husband's hunting partner and I wanted it to have a masculine feel.
Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging. Be very careful! It is so addictive :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new blog! LOVE the bluebonnets! This will be a nice manly quilt. I have trouble quilting those..I seem to want to feather EVERYTHING! HA! My parents live in BeeCave (south west Austin area...) love it when we visit during bluebonnet season. That dark blue is my FAV color...
ReplyDeleteHappy first blog post :) You've definitely achieved the masculine feel with your plaid hourglass blocks.....they look terrific. I look forward to following your progress.
ReplyDeleteIt does look manly - well said, Beth. Great first post.
ReplyDeletewelcome to blogland...as you've been previously warned: It's addictive-- much like quilting!
ReplyDeletelove your plaid blocks- a masculine quilt for sure.
This is exactly how I started. I wanted to leave a message and couldn't because I didn't have one. So I did it and I'm glad. Shirley
ReplyDeleteBlogland is such a great place to spend time! I've been blogging for about a year and a half and have enjoyed it so much--hope you will too. Your blocks look terrific. I love the plaids.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogland!
ReplyDeleteStarting a blog can be scary, I remember. But starting on Judy's page is a great idea: that way you are pretty sure someone will read it. I like your plaid blocks: I am trying to think of a way to use the plaids I have collected.
