Over the weekend I finished my bedroom blocks for Red Riding Hood. I made some slight changes to streamline the construction and I am generally happy with how the blocks turned out.
As always, selecting the fabric is my favorite task. It really is fun to go through fabrics with the colors I'm looking for in mind and think "what would make good wallpaper?" or "what would make a good comforter for the bed?".Fussy cutting the pictures and clock was fun as was attaching and adding finishing touches to them.
All I have left is making my wolf blocks and then deciding how I want to stage the blocks in the quilt.
Saturday I had a random act of kindness surprise in the mail from Stephanie. Stephanie always packages things with care and beauty.
Of course her work is perfection. I love the apples. They are so me. And the colors are beautiful and brilliant. Thank you so much Stephanie. This is a perfect pillow case for this cold February and will make me smile as my head hits the pillow and feels the softness!-nanette

Nanette, these blocks just couldn't be any cuter. I love each comforter on each bed.
I can't wait to see the whole thing.

I can't wait to see the Red Riding hood quilt! The bedroom blocks are adorable.
love the bed!
These are great Nanette! Can't wait to see more of this quilt. Your passion for details shines!
Those little blocks are turning out soooo cute! I love the little fussy cut pictures on the wall too.
The blocks are incredible and I love the bright colours of the pillow.
Such fun blocks and so cute. I'm looking forward to seeing them all together.
Those bedroom blocks are adorable. Do you machine applique the pieces on your blocks or do it by hand? This is going to be a really nice quilt. The pillowcase is fun!!!
I heart Valentines! So glad you like your little RAK. The blocks keeps getting cuter. I always love your fabric choices.
I love those grandmother blocks! Especially the little wallhangings. Lovely summery pillow case (O:
This is going to be so much fun when it's finally assembled.
I can just inagine making this quilt and giving it to a little girl and telling her the story of "Little Red Riding Hood". A million times better than than reading it from the book. The story could be enhanced using the embellishments as prompts for different story lines. What fun!
Like I said I love the grandmother blocks. You have such a way with fabrics. These are so fun!
You always come up with the best ideas for fussy cutting when working with blocks. I think you should write a "Fussy Cutting" book!
The mix of fabrics is delicious. The details are so adorable!
Can't wait to see what your plans are for the layout. It's going to be a lovely fairytale quilt :)
Stephanie's present is so sweet! Her work is impeccable!
Nanette you are so talented. Those are so adrable.
I love the Red Riding Hood blocks. How clever. What fun you must be having choosing the fabrics.
The Red Riding Hood quilt is coming along so great! I can't wait to see the finish! You picked good wallpapers, etc. And oh, my, what a nice gift from Stephanie!
Oh pretty beds! I love it! You come up with such gorgeous and whimsical designs Nanette - oh I'm all giddy with delight at them. And once again, can I come and play in your stash :-)
I picked out a bed I want to nap on. Will you read me a story? Ohmygosh, I changed my mind. Can I nap on all of them? I love the blocks!!!
Still loving those piccies on the wall in those blocks. They are so CUTE!
Ok, so is it grandma or the wolf hiding under that bonnet????
Hugs,
Joy :o)
