Another block is completed for Hearts & Wreaths, block 12. Of course this block really is the prettiest one so far.
I also took a picture of all 12 blocks arranged on the display floor, it's so exciting see the quilting coming to life. I really like the bright colors on the soft yellow.
The yellow in the above picture is true to life. Apparently the secret to having the yellow the right shade is to take the photos with a snow background!

Such pretty blocks! Love the scrappiness of this project, you used them well.
ReplyDeleteAgree!
DeleteLove seeing all blocks together. You will make a gorgeous quilt, Gretchen.
ReplyDeleteOh my, all of these blocks are beautiful with all of those pretty fabrics. They look wonderful together.
ReplyDeletehow many blocks are you making? they are all so pretty and colorful - this will make a beauty of a quilt
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on making 25 blocks so I'm a little less than halfway. I knew this was going to be a long term quilt when I started. I seem to average 2 blocks a month.
DeleteThese heart and wreath blocks are sooo pretty and unique … can’t wait to see what’s next for these blocks Gretchen!
ReplyDeleteKathi
I still have a lot more blocks to applique.
DeleteOh how beautiful, seeing all these blocks together!
ReplyDeleteI love all your blocks, and your hand quilting is fantastic. I love reading your blog, too. I think you and I both love the color we're viewing, and the fragrance we're smelling (flowers). My kids ask me my favorites and that is pretty much my answer. I can't lock down one favorite because nature is so full of different colors. Anxious to see this one when it's done, and love your current hand quilting project, as well as the many I have watched in your postings. Great quilters always inspire me to do better.
ReplyDeleteI love the brightness of these Gretchen, they are so colorful and cheery!
ReplyDeleteThese blocks are so beautiful. Colorful like a firework and you have got a beautiful color harmony.
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous block! Love them all!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty... the blocks just sparkle!
ReplyDeleteI think you say that about all your blocks! Each one is delightful, and together, they are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove this one with the bright and beautiful blue hearts. All the blocks are just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the trick of seeing the true colours of a quilt is to have it photographed in the snow! Such a shame I never have snow....not. =) Each one of your blocks is a little masterpiece which when all stitched together and then quilted with your magical quilting hands, will be amazing. Just for the record, each one of your wreaths is my favourite one, too.
ReplyDeleteGretchen, thank you for adding some cheer to a gloomy, rainy day. Your blocks made me smile!
