| Civil War block 6 RICHMOND |
Some progress has been made with the Klosjes. I love how its coming along but many many more little blocks to make before it becomes a quilt.
The only other thing this week is my Barbara Brackman civil war block 6 called Richmond. This is the second block I made as I didn't like how the other block came out - It was far to heavy looking compared to how my other blocks look so decided this morning to make another .
I now have an orphan block and wonder how many orphan blocks their are out then in the big wide world of quilting. Maybe we set up an on line orphanage and trade blocks.
I have now to post it onto the Flickr group- I just seem to master one thing like blogger changes and then I have to learn how to use Flickr.
Never mind I keep hearing that learning keeps your mind young and active I just wish my body would follow suit.

A block orphanage is a great idea! I've seen a quilt someone made with all their leftover blocks, and it was lovely. My orphans didn't go together very well, and I'd be happy to have someone adopt them.
ReplyDeleteThe klosjes look great Sue. I love the border you've put in.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is looking wonderful; love all the color. "Block Orphanage" is pretty funny!
ReplyDeleteI love how your spool quilt is coming together! It is going to be fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLove your CW block. Keep your orphan block- you never know if it might fit in later. Or possibly on the back.
Definitely keep those orphans. If it doesn't fit on the back, I'm sure that some day you can put yours all together for a unique, original "Sue quilt." Every block will be a memory.
ReplyDeleteThe spool quilt is looking good, and I like your 2nd version of the CW block. (I HAVE to get caught up on those today.)
I love your Richmond block Sue! Maybe you could use the first one on the back. I love seeing a little piecing on the back of quilts.
ReplyDeleteYour spools are growing! Love that! And your CW block is great! I have some catching up to do!
ReplyDeleteI love the little klosjes blocks quilt - the inner border is looking good too. I am still doing some myself - upto around 78 I think! (Don't tell Steph, supposed to be doing work stuff as well!!)
ReplyDeleteLove your apool quilt! It is delightful. I have to admit that I have not made block 5 and 6 yet...got some catching up to do!
ReplyDeleteYour little klosjes blocks quilt has some great fabrics...it is going to be a really fun quilt "fabric study." I have a box of orphan blocks that occasionally I pull out and put together for a charity quilt.
ReplyDeleteFlickr is great _ I can give you a lesson!

The Klosjes quilt is really superb and I can see now why so many of you caught that particular bug. Love the Richmond block - mine is cut out but I haven't sewn it together yet. I agree with you about the new technology and I get annoyed that it takes time away from my stitching but I suppose you are right and it keeps the mind active. Take care!
ReplyDeleteI love your klosjes blocks! I only have 2 of the CW blocks done - need to get back to that. The orphan block may come in handy sometime. Would like to see all your CW blocks together.
ReplyDeleteI looooove how your klosjestop is growing. Great idea to add a border..it breaks up the design. The colours are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI hope you orphan block will soon find companions!
Have a nice day,
Tineke
I've got 2 orphans- one 6" and one 8". I'm doing them as 6" blocks, and I keep choosing fabrics that are too dark and heavy as well. I think that means I need some stash enhancement.
