If you remember a bit back I showed you my progress on my Alpine Group 2010 quilt designed by Jina Barney of Riley Blake Fabric.
And last week I showed you the butterflies I was making. Well I decided to depart from Jina's layout/design in a few ways. I hope she doesn't mind. I switched out her flower blocks for Dresden plates and I added these butterflies instead of flags. I wanted to make Dresdens and butterflies anyway so it was fun to incorporate them into this Alpine Group quilt.
Friday I was able to make this school house block from Jina's September block design. But again, I changed it into a house block just by putting kitchen items in the windows.
Jina designed a pumpkin for October and there are 3 of them.
I really had fun appliqueing the leaf while watching a movie on Saturday.
I can't add them to the quilt yet. The school house and pumpkin blocks will be added later under Jina's direction but I'm ready now for November's block. Oh my we are getting close to the end of the year aren't we.
I was able to put all my other blocks into the quilt top. Saturday I was able to add the stars, economy block and butterflies sides along with the Dresdens to the top and bottom of the flimsy.
I have really enjoyed this 2010 block of the month quilt. It has really been so much fun. Thanks Jina for all your work on this quilt.

I love what you've done sooo much!!! i keep forgetting how much i want to make those butterflies!!!
This is going to be such a cheerful quilt. I really like Gina's design and thought about doing it but my "to do" list is too long. It's fun to see your flimsy come together and I look forward to seeing it all quilted. Fun, fun!
Wow, you got so much done this weekend. I love the idea of dresdens. They look wonderful! What a happy quilt. What movie did you watch?
Glad you're getting caught up, and the bright and cheerful way you have with your fabric choices is great!

Love your quilt. Especially like your fussy cut of the kitchen window. So cute. Pumpkins and leaf is cute too.
I LOVE those little pumpkins AND the dresdens AND...AND of course the way you used those butterflies!
The whole thing is going to be just toooo darn cute!!
Your butterflies and pumpkins are adorable!
Love your quilt top so far! Have to admit that the Dresden plates ae my favorites! They just sparkle! Can't wait to see the "whole" top in December? Oh - the pumpkins, too!!
Am so totally in love with the house square! The quilt is just lovely!
i love your quilt with the dresden plates and butterflies! it looks so vintage! i'm still on the flowers. somehow my completed blocks weren't matching jina's block sizes so i had to make some adjustments -- that really slowed me down, and i lost interest. but looking at yours makes me want to pick it up again! thanks!

Hi Nanette...
I love how it's turning out and I know Jina will love it too.
I don't think she will mind the few changes you have made to make it your own...she designed a fabulous quilt didn't she?

I love the fabrics you use!!! It is so much fun!
Love it all,especially the butterfly blocks. I think designers love it when you make the quilt your own and I bet they love seeing all different versions.
I'm smitten by the adorable things you've been adding to this cheerful quilt. I love the twists you're giving to different elements to make it yours... very very cute!
The butterflies are beautiful!
