I promised Barbara I would show her my SBS quilt so I could not resist starting it back up once again. Here is the quilt up to now along with a few detail photos...
I am using an old fashioned background of cream calico print with a mixture of autumn tones for the blocks. My border will be a floral print which you can barely see peeking out by the background fabric in my box...
The blocks completed for row D of the quilt are...
Milky Way...
Orange Peel...
And completed today, Boy's Nonsense...It has been a good thing that Barbara and I talked about this as I now have been sparked to start working on it once again. Almost 4 years of sitting dormant is just too long.

I like the block orange peel. They are all really cute. This is not the usual for you at all. So many different blocks. It will be neat to see the borders you use.
I don't know if I read that book. I read some of them and then didn't like the fact they kept going back in time, remember?
Love you, Mom
Woua!!!!!!!!!!!
superbe!!
hugs

The blocks are very lovely and remember me to the sampler I made with you. I tought I read all the books of that serie but didn't read this one. Was it new last year?
Hugs and groetjes

Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Heidi, Happy birthday to you!

Big hugs
ps. I still have some blocks of the Silvia Bridal Sampler, maybe I make a little quilt out of it.
I love it all. The fabrics are many and all gorgeous!! It looks like a very involved piece of work and will be such an heirloom when you are done!!
Kan me niet herinneren deze quilt al eerder bij jou gezien te hebben. Goed dat je de draad weer oppakt aan deze UFO. Ga je door tot rij Z? LOL.
Ik heb zin aan morgen! Doeg.
Oh my gosh, that is such gorgeous quilting that it just leaves me speechless!
How pretty! You are so talented! I know you feel good in getting started again!
What fun. All I can saw is wow. I love the 4 basket block. Your fabric choices are great. I started dear Jane blocks and then turned it into a wall hanging. Whatever works. :)
Wow! What a lot of work you've already put into your quilt! It's absolutely wonderful.
Happy birthday, Heidi!!! I hope you will have a very good New Year, turning into 6 :) without too many health problems. I hope you will have a great day.
Your SBS is great. I love the fabrics you use. I hope you can make many, many blocks now, because the final result must be stunning!
Bye & hug, Carolien
Your SBS-blocks look wonderful!!
And .... HAPPY BIRTHDAY Heidi!!
Heidi i started this a long time ago yet another WIP got nowhere as far as you it looks lovley! Marie x
That is absolutely lovely. I like the muted colours so much, Heidi.
Gorgeous, you are so talented! I too enjoy Jennifer's books.
WOW WOW WOW - that is a stunning piece of quilt blocks and your fabric choices are perfect. What a fun thing to have and pick away a block at a time.
Hugs - karen
It's great to be re-inspired. Love the blocks, so neat.
Love to get that shot of new inspiration, Heidi! Your blocks so far are just beautiful. I think you won't have any problem at all finishing it now.
Hugs, Deb
Splendid project, Heidi! Love the block...and all those soft shades of colors...Happy birthday belated, my friend! :o) And Happy Valentine's Day! Hubby & I tend to celebrate quietly too. And as it is soooo cold here, we're not venturing out--LOL! We'll make a special dinner, a little wine, a film...After a busy week time together is a great gift. :o) ((HUGS))
Going back to work on a project that was set aside is like picking up again with an old friend. It doesn't take any time at all to pick up where you left off and get back into the swing of things.
How did I miss your birthday??? A belated Happy Birthday to you, Heidi - I hope that this year brings better health, happiness at least equal to what you and your husband now have.........and lots of satisfying needlework!
It is beautiful. I love the colors. Sometimes a project that has been put away for a while looks even better when you pull it out. And the urge to work on it is just as strong as when you started.
Heidi,
that is just gorgeous! I hope you are able to finish it soon.
I don't have those colors in my home but I am always drawn to them when I see them in quilts or in Country Living - maybe that means I should use those colors more.
have fun stitching!
Oh, this is going to be a gorgeous version of the SBS! I love the colours you have chosen, and that background fabric is wonderful! Hope you will keep us updated on your progress, I will keep an eye on your blog and look forward to seeing it finished :o)
OMG, what shall I say. This is quite simply beautiful. So beautiful. Whenever I see your quiltmaking I get the idea to dump all my cross stitching for a while and settle on quiltmaking instead. One day I will ...
