In a past post, I had mentioned that I had won an opportunity to participate in an on-line quilt class the-one-and-only Annie Smith of Simplearts.com. Here are some of the blocks that I have finished:
Lesson 2 - Rail Fence Block
Lesson 3 - Log Cabin Block
and Nine Patch Block
Lesson 4 - Madison House
and Madison Trees
Lesson 5 - Heart Block
and Postage Stamp Block
Next lesson will be Drunkard's Path, one of my favorites.
I am using fabric from Moda's Cotton Patch. I love the colors, the oranges and the turquoises, colors that I may not normally use. I am really enjoying the class, even though it may not be the typical "classroom" setting. One problem that I am having is that Annie's blocks look SO MUCH better than mine, but that just my opinion. Another is that I am having a problem envisioning the final product, the finished sampler quilt. I just don't know if I made the right choices in fabric and color selections and if they will look right once they are set side-by-side. I'm just gonna have to trust Annie.
There are 11 lessons total and I will post more block as I finish them.
Later,
Jane
