Stonefields

More blocks from section of Stonefields have been appliqued. The first two are titled The Ring Cycle. Okay, I can understand this name, there are circles on the blocks.


I'm using Karen K. Buckley circles for the Stonefield circles. They aren't always a perfect match but they're close enough.

The patterns were gifted to me by Nanette Chopin. Her blog is no longer online.




Next are two pretty flower blocks named Clemence.

The stems are a stem stitch stitched next to each other. The pattern didn't have leaves but I think I would prefer them but they're finished, no adding leaves! I am very ready to be done with these blocks!


Next are two blocks titled Mirrored Circles.


There are two more blocks in Section 9 but they are both very labor intensive. They will appear as individual blocks in the future.

 Stonefields is designed by Susan Smith.

2025 Designer Mystery Quilt

 The 9th block of the Designer Mystery quilt, which came in February, has been pieced. I had planned to take a picture before adding the sashing but I forgot.

Here are the nine blocks sewn together.


I don't know why February's block looks so wrinkled, I guess I need to press it again. I'm glad I pieced the sashing last December so it's ready to add to the blocks when they're pieced.

Rhapsody in Blue

The bottom border of Rhapsody in Blue is quilted. Sorry there are shadows in the pictures.

This first picture is across the bottom border but the quilting doesn't show.







The next section to be quilted is the 9 patch patchwork.

Elaine did the applique work, the applique is based on the Lady Jane quilt designed by Nancy Rink.

Blue Embroidered Blocks Quilt

The Blue Embroidered Blocks quilt came home the same day the purple embroidered quilt did. I did not embroider these blocks, I purchased them off the resale table at the Jane Stickle retreat.


I used the same sashing design in this quilt as I did in the purple embroidered quilt and Radiant Blues.

The finished quilt measures 94" by 96".


The quilting is a Baptist Fan design, a perfect quiet overall background design. Calico Point was the quilter.


The backing fabric is this beautiful paisley fabric I purchased some where years ago. It's been waiting to be used in a special quilt.

This quilt will be going to granddaughter Lydia, she's a blue girl.

The pattern for Radiant Blues was designed by Marsha McCloskey and is located in the January/February 2007 issue of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting.

The blocks were purchased from Patty Harants. She won't be able to attend the spring retreat this year but I'll be taking this quilt along to the November retreat to show her the finish.

Stonefields

The first four blocks in Section 9 of Stonefields have been appliqued. The blocks are called Finale but they're not the last blocks to be appliqued. Like I've said, I'm not the one who has named these blocks.





These sweet little flowers stitched fast. The Stonefield blocks finish at 6" and were designed by Susan Smith.

Purple Embroidered Quilt

The purple embroidered quilt has been quilted and the binding attached. Calico Point did the machine quilting.


The quilt measures 96.5" square.


The quilting is a Baptist Fan design.


I embroidered these 12 blocks years ago. To make the quilt square four appliqued blocks are the corner blocks.

The sashing design is the same design I used in the Radiant Blues quilt, it just makes blocks pop!

The pattern for Radiant Blue(s) is found in the January/February 2007 issue of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting.

It would have been nice to hand quilt this quilt but that takes time.

Quilting Rhapsody in Blue

The bottom row of Rhapsody in Blue is quilted. The first picture is across the whole border.


Here are pictures across the end. The first picture is the left corner, the picture is taken from the side. The picture isn't true to color and there are shadows in the pictures.








The pins on the quilt mark where there is no quilting. I would probably see the not quilted places but they are just a reminder.
