28 bloom blocks pieced, only 8 more to go!
My design wall can't hold any more.
Here's a close-up for you to enjoy.
I've not even come close to falling out of love with this project. It's usually about this time when I'm either questioning my fabric choices or pattern decision. Nothing but happiness and fun in my sewing room.
Today is the last day to leave a comment on Monday's post to be eligible to win Monique Dillard's latest book, Diamond Traditions, don't miss out! The questions answered the most frequently so far have been what is your least favorite and most favorite aspect of quilting. We need to form some teams, I need the quilters who enjoy picking out fabric and don't like cutting on my team. Isn't it funny, as a group, how we like and dislike different tasks? I love cutting the fabric and can't imagine anyone not enjoying it too!
Monique is wrapping up the book tour at her blog today, click here to check it out.

ReplyDeleteSo nice, Thelma! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty, Thelma!
ReplyDeletethem are some purrtee flowers, little missy!
ReplyDeletereally, really love your blocks - you can pick out fabric for me anytime!
I know these have been labor-intensive, but as I stare at your quilt wall, I'm just amazed how beautiful it is. But, we're Carolina bound (sold house) and that quilt is on my list once we get settled! XOXO
ReplyDeleteThis is the absolute perfect quilt to make right now with those fabrics - end of spring and the perfect start of summer. The fabrics are so happy, who would not just fall in love all over again!! Can hardly wait until you lay this all out in order - then again, you may just change up the pattern a bit - LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine someone not like cutting. I love straighening it, patting it, making it just right, then that first cut to clean up, then making sweet little organized piles (that's what I do). Love all my steps just right, and then fun to sit and sew and watch the magic happen.
Oh my goodness - those all look fantastic. I was just considering classic reds and have some dark purples for the berries, but they don't seem to be enough contrast to really stand out. Maybe I need to interview some other choices. Decisions, decisions.
ReplyDeleteYour fabric choices are as cute as can be. Love the colors and textures. You do such beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteReally gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are so "summer" with your wonderful fabric choices. It's going to be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love these blocks and love how they have such a bright fun feel! What a difference from the original pattern!
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love!!!!! Love - love - love scrap quilts in any shape or form!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Is it okay to 'pin' a photo or would you rather I didn't? I'll hold off until I hear from you...
ReplyDeleteOh Thelma, I will audition for the job of fabric picker outer on your team. I love that part of the process! Your blooms are lovely!
ReplyDeleteThose blocks could NOT be any prettier!! Love them!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great variation from the pattern photo! I can't wait to see them placed with the flying geese units. I will probably have to order the pattern myself and make a small wall hanging at least - it is very inspirational!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt! Of course, I love all you projects that I see. Maybe this will be the year that I can bring myself to attempt applique. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI feel like a stalker because I've commented on every post about this quilt. It is so fabulous! How are you going to group them?
