The rest of the blocks in section 7 of Stonefields are completed. First are four Wrysedale blocks.
I thought these blocks looked just fine as they are and didn't add the circles.
Next are the two Neil's Dairy blocks which you saw last Wednesday after they were pieced.
The yellow hearts are the same fabric as the center circles in the Wrysedale blocks.
Last are two appliqued blocks called Lucille.
There are several variations of this stick flower in this quilt. I didn't like the tiny curves that the pattern has at the top of the flower so I decided to do broderie perse instead.
The broderie perse may not look right but I don't care. I do admit I'm getting tired of these blocks but I don't want to stop and have a project halfway completed. I really am getting close to the end, just 36 more blocks to make. I'm hoping to be finished making these blocks by springtime. I will probably put the blocks into time out until later then sew them for the flimsy center.
Section 7 is blocks 74 - 85. I chose to not do two of the designs, my quilt, my decision. I duplicated several of the blocks in this section.
Stonefields is designed by Susan Smith.

Lovely set of blocks, Gretchen--you are to be commended for sticking with these--I should have such staying power...
ReplyDeleteI do like that you are making them "your own version". ;)))
hugs, Julierose
Beautiful blocks! Definitely, your quilt, so you get to decide what goes and what doesn't. It's going to look wonderful when assembled.
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics. I didn’t know what broderie perse was. I had to look it up! Every day is a school day. Sarah quilting by the sea
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like the ways in which you are making this project your own! Each block moves you closer to having stitched them all. You are making awesome progress!
ReplyDeleteThose are all so lovely. The broderie perse is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHang in there! I think the blocks look lovely. We are always our own worst critics. When they come together into quilts, most quilt blocks look just right.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking of you and how successful you have been completing projects. I admire your focus; I just enjoy doing a little of several stitches at a time. So losing your mojo on this is understandable. But you will pull through!
ReplyDeleteThese blocks are so sweet and pretty, Gretchen. I love the selection of fabrics you are using.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Gretchen. I love that you are making Stonefields your own, it’s inspiring tbh! I did make a list after we emailed about scrap quilts and lists and I am dutifully crossing items off my list! I made a list of 23 unfinished jobs and one new quilt and I have 8 crossed off. I started with the least time consuming and going from there. I will make a new plan once my list is done. Thank you for the push and inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI like that you are not afraid to veer away from the suggested pattern. ;) It is, as you said, your quilt! Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
ReplyDeleteThese are all lovely, Gretchen. I love your defiance: "my quilt, my decisions!" It makes me think of elementary art teachers writing comments like "Rebecca is very creative but she needs to work on following directions." HAH! As far as I'm concerned, quilt patterns don't come with directions; they come with SUGGESTIONS. You are cruising along on your Stonefields but if you do take a break, that will give me a chance to catch up to you!
