This was a fun one. I hope the fabrics will all come together in the end. I need to stick with the red, turquoise, yellow theme with accents of green.
This is supposed to be a pineapple block but I'm not sure what mine looks like or even when I went wrong. I don't know if I should put in a couple extra circles in that 2nd row. I'm unsettled about this one.
This is Jody's block and I'm not good with curves. But I should be. For some reason mine measures more of a very scant 9" instead of 9 1/2". And this was my 2nd attempt! If I really fudge the seams, tell me it will quilt out!
This is an appliqued sewing machine block. It has lots of little pieces still to put on after I finish appliqueing the body of the machine, so the verdict is still out on how this block will turn out.
A new quilt back from the quilter. I scalloped the top and bottom edges. Binding is sewn on so I just have to hand stitch the binding the rest of the way. More about this later, too.
I had stuff to do when I got home from quilts last night and didn't get to bed until way late. I had an early morning meeting so I'm a little bleary eyed today. Need diet mt. dew. Just one of my vices.

Lovely blocks and that strawberry fabric is amazing! Twenty years together as a group - that's so neat!
I love the blocks! That first one is my favorite. I keep seeing those blocks and feeling the need to make a bunch of them. LOL
Great blocks Nanette. I'm so envious that you and Ms. Bitty Bit are in the same great group!
Can't wait to see that quilt with the scalloped border...these sneak peeks are hard on me!
I cant' wait to see the whole quilt when it's finished. I love the colors.
Your blocks look great!! It bugs me too when my blocks don't measure out as pattern indicated. I love scalloped borders! Can't wait to see the finished product!!
I just love all those blocks. Everything you make looks so happy!
That quilt will be beautiful. Are you displaying it, auctioning it or what? What a super idea!! Have a great day. Julie
PS--I went to QUILTS, ETC. today--they had about 20 vendors on display--cute, cute stuff!! Utah has the best quilt shops.
All the blocks are fabulous. The fabrics are all wonderful. You have a great group of ladies.
The pineapple block is the one that immediately jumped out at me as my favorite...but I didn't know it was a pineapple! lol!! Yes add the dots I think:) It will be lovely - it already is!
I absolutely love all of your pretties! Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring me!
Wonderful eye candy. I can tell you're having fun. :-)
Your blocks are great, I really like the colors in the first one.
I need to try my hand at a scalloped edge quilt. Can't wait to see this one.
My fix is diet Pepsi, what us quilters do to get more hours in sewing.
Keep Stitchen'

Hi Nanette-
It looks like you have alot of variety in your blocks - that quilt is going to be so cute!!
I love the pinapple and I do think more circles would fill it in better...I'm looking forward to seeing more of your new quilt.

love your X-block and the fabrics that you used for it. scrappy perfection. and again great fabrics used in your "cascading" creation.
Great blocks!
What if you add little border strips to the "Jody's block"? Then it'll measure whatever you want it to. =-)
There's a patch I see I like very much!!
I love all of the fabrics and the designs of these blocks. This is going to make an amazing quilt! xx
I bet it really warms your heart to see a pattern you made, use by others, in their own way. Each and evryone was different yet beautiful.
My you have a group of talented woman, and the creamer and sugar set, I love them!!!
Those blocks are wonderful - so bright and happy!
I have never done a scalloped edge - I would say I'm a chicken!
