Three more Morrell blocks completed.
One pieced, one appliqued and one broderie perse.
The first block has quite a few flying geese units. I haven't made many flying geese before. I think they will look better the next time I make them. There is a block coming up with even more flying geese so I hope they will look at bit more uniform.
I have ordered the background for my Roseville Album quilt. I chose a Kaffe spot. The colour is called water and is a pale green. Green is my favourite colour!
On Friday I spent the afternoon sewing with my DD. We sewed hundreds of beads and crystals on some bridesmaid dresses. Slow work, but very relaxing.
My Dresden plates are coming along.
I finished another one after I took that photo, so there are 6 now. I plan to make 12, then applique them to a very light coloured fabric and sash with the stronger colours. I am still deciding whether to use corner stones and whether to set the blocks on point. Its fun not following a pattern and making my own decisions as I go along.I will get back to Tail Feathers and Jacobs Coat in the next few days.
Hmmmm....I may have a few too many projects going on at the same time! lol
It was a beautiful sunny, warm day here today. I spent a few hours in the garden this afternoon. A perfect day for the first day of Day Light Saving. The sun is just setting now and it is still warm outside. Spring has arrived! :)
Oh very lovely Morrell blocks,and the dresden plates also very nice.
ReplyDeleteMore fabulous Morrell blocks - how many do you have left to make Miriam? I'm in love with your Dresden plate blocks - I bought some fabric recently to make some myself in pinks and greens and I'm waiting for background fabric to begin Kim's Hearts and Flowers quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour projects just give me a sense of peace and wellbeing, my friend. I always look forward to looking at them.
ReplyDeleteI love the Morell blocks!! Any chance of getting them all laid out for a group photo?
ReplyDeleteYour comment about day light savings time through me....I always have to remember who is in what part of the world LOL.

PS - Lots of projects if fun!! They will all get done eventually.
Love your Morrell blocks and the Dresden Plate blocks. The Dresden plate has to be one of my all time quilt blocks. Just so colorful! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI know you and DD had a wonderful time sewing beads on the dresses :)

You are so productive! Love your Morrell blocks. Just lovely. I think I'm addicted to dresdens. Before making one I thought they would be so hard.
ReplyDeleteYou've certainly been busy! You Morrell blocks look wonderful, especially the broderie. I'm just starting Roseville Album, too, but in repro fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThe Morell blocks are stunning!
ReplyDeleteMicki
your blocks are beautiful! I love the broderie perse block and your DP are so happy looking
ReplyDeleteEnjoying watching your posts. Like the dresden plates and wondering which way you'll go with the sashing. I get the fun while you do all the work!
ReplyDeleteOh Miriam! Your progress on your Morrell quilt is amazing! Love the Dresden blocks, too!
ReplyDeleteToday is Sunday here in beautiful Washington State USA and I am off to a quilt show and exhibition in LaConner WA at the LaConner Quilt Museum. The exhibition is by the American Applique Society and I am dying to see the quilts! I understand they are not allowing photography - so I will have to have an excellent memory today. LOL
Hugs,

Great blocks. Interested in the broderie perse as its not something I have done..but wish I could. Also checked out your flower garden...they are great. Makes me feel I have neglected mine for way too long... ♥
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are beautiful as usual and I'm sure any discrepancies won't be noticeable when it's quilted. I got the water spot too, it's a lovely colour. The dresdens look great and I would have had fun beading the dressess.
ReplyDeleteThe Morrell blocks are great and I don't see anything wrong with your flying geese!!
ReplyDeleteLove the dresden plates- so pretty!!
Slow and steady wins the race -- even if you do have too many projects. All of your blocks are gorgeous. I especially love that second one -- and the dresdens!
ReplyDeleteenjoying seeing your Morrell progress........
