Stonefields

Section five from Stonefields has been started, there are 6 pieced blocks in this section.

The first 4 blocks are called Strasbourg Station.





Here are all 4 of them together. The blocks with the darker triangle corners look different than the ones with the light corners.


The next 2 blocks are named The Handkerchief.



I like to make a contrast between the blocks. 

The instructions called for 3 of these blocks but I'm going to make two of a different applique block because I like even numbers! 

These blocks finish at 6". Stonefields is designed by Susan Smith.




I got way behind on the Laundry Basket Mystery quilt. I redid the corner blocks which was week 5 of the mystery.


Originally I had pieced pink blocks for the corners but changed them to blue. After I returned home from my vacation, I pieced the next round of blocks. After they were all completed, I realized I had made a mistake in cutting, they didn't work. 

I thought about it and decided I just don't like these fabrics, I don't like the faded look, I'm done with this mystery! However I do like the pattern, maybe I'll start again sometime and use fabrics I like. Who knows, maybe I'll end up with another blue & white quilt!

I am just in love with all your Stonefields blocks. I like your mystery quilt. If you are done with it, will it become a small quilt, or is it destined to be a UFO?

The center, along with the fabric, will end up at the sewing box at the relief sale. Someone who loves the fabric can decide what to do with it. Sometimes you have to say enough and I already have enough orphan blocks in my orphanage!
