Block #44 only 10 more to go! For those of you who may not know, the blue crab is the state crustecean of Maryland. While I was visiting Judie she made crab cakes for dinner one night and they were awesome.
I am happy with the colors I chose for this block. All the fabrics are hand dyes. It did take a while to cut out all those tiny pieces.
I think the quilting made it look more crab like and highlighted the little legs. I just noticed I forgot to put on the eyes and the antenna.....it kind of sums up my week.
With any luck I will have something to show later this week....

ReplyDeleteIt's a great block. I do admire your patience with all the fiddly cutting. Definitely worth it.
ReplyDeleteAnd then you mentioned crab cakes ... mmmmmm!
Love it! Your blue crab is so spot on!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you - only 10 to go!
Can't wait to see them together.
what a worthwhile project.
Hello Blue Crab!!! Another wonderful block!! All those skinny legs must have been tricky to cut out. I can't believe its only 10 to go...
ReplyDeleteGreat little blue crab block. You have so much imagination. I was rereading your blog posts on the Halloween quilts. Loved the Ghastilies. It's that time of year. Last year I purchased some Halloween fabric and made two pillow covers. Oh dear! no imagination. Then I saw your post on the Ghastilies and thought, "Why couldn't I have done something like that." Maybe this year I'll attempt another Halloween quilt. Is it too late do get started? Thanks for your inspiration.

I love this block and your quilting really adds so much! I didn't notice the missing parts -- I just thought it was meant to look like that!
ReplyDeleteI love your block. I was just on vacation at Assateague Island and it reminds me of my vacation. Where did you get the pattern. It is so cool. Hugs
