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 double 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.

I love your fabrics for the circles. I am sorry Nanette's blog is no longer online. I wonder how Clay is doing.

There are usually 10 - 12 Blocks in each section. After the remaining 2 blocks in this section are completed, there is just one more section. I'm getting close to the end then the blocks will go into time out for the summer.

Those are great additions to your completed blocks! I agree with you about the leaves!

This quilt is such a huge time commitment, heh?! Lots of slow, precise work and the blocks are so pretty!

Beautiful blocks! The two flowers look just fine without leaves.

Your circles are perfection! I miss Nanette!

Your blocks are so beautiful; how can you be getting tired of making them? I am sad to learn that Nanette's blog was taken down. I wonder why her family chose to do that? She put so much work into documenting her process on all of her beautiful quilts, and what she wrote and shared was a wonderful resource to other quilters.
