I. LIKE. I.LIKE. I.LIKE. my November Flag blocks!!
I especially like these sawtooth blocks that will be
scattered through out the quilt.
I agonized over the fabric choices but I dug and I dug
A-N-D
I DUG SOME MORE
through the ole stash and finally came up with a combination I am happy with.
Make 3 for November………and I did.
Now
on to the Eagle/Dove block. The official title for this one is
Whiskey Rebellion.
The pattern in the book calls it a "bird". Looks kind of like a dove to me. Maybe with it being white I don't relate to it being an eagle.
Anyway, this block was a little time consuming and was sort of a jig saw puzzle there around where the red/white ribbons reach towards the beak, but I'm happy with how it turned out.
All my blocks to The Flags of the American Revolution are coming along nicely. I'm so glad
Lori from Humble Quilts decided on this quilt along.
Everyone who is participating are showing off their blocks with a link up over at Lori's blog.
Run over and take a gander at others and see the variety of fabrics
being used. I think that is the FUN part, seeing others interpretation.
Ok, I'm off to see which blocks we're to do for December.
Great looking stuff for your flag quilt, Belinda. The applique on the "bird" block makes me tremble. : )
ReplyDeleteI love those stars, too!
Your blocks look great! I thought the eagle this month was challenging! I finished all my sawtooth stars but only posted one since they were all the same.
ReplyDeleteLove your block and the blue background is wonderful too! I think this was the hardest applique and I'm glad it is complete!
ReplyDeleteSawtooth stars are a favorite of mine. I haven't made those blocks yet but look forward to it later in the week.
ReplyDeleteI love that blue paisley background. It's so fun to see what everyone is doing with their blocks!
ReplyDeleteDear Belina,
ReplyDeleteyour blocks look beautiful, I can understand you being happy. Great color and fabric choices, love them.
Greetings,
Sylvia
A-n-d it's apparent you're having a great time up to your elbows in stash! The blocks look F-I-N-E!!!
ReplyDeleteYour eagle is beautiful! I dug into my stash too for the stars. I was surprised to find what I needed, lol.
ReplyDeleteLizzy. At gone to the beach
Your Eagle/dove looks great as do your stars. Like you I am enjoying this quilt along.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I got the book but haven't made any blocks yet. I love your sawtooth stars and the eagle. Maybe one of these days I'll start on this quilt.
ReplyDeleteWonderful wonderful. The eagle/dove is gorgeous - I know how much work these can take to get it all in the right places. Love the colors on the other blocks - so soft and warm
ReplyDeleteI love your dove block. I agree, it doesn't really look like an eagle. That looks like some challenging applique, and yours looks super! And I love the blue background fabric you used. I like your evening star blocks too. Good for you for shopping the stash! (Oh wait, you do that most of the time, don't you?) You must have a good stash!!
