I have been so productive this past week. Once again not having the shopping hanging over my head is the reason, I am convinced! These blocks are from the pattern Stars and Sprigs by Kim McClean.
Every night after dinner, I have been sitting down with my applique. You can almost get a block a night complete.
The blocks are small, only 10 inches. The fabric possibilities are endless and a little daunting, too many choices.
As my Diary Block Quilt is winding down I am trying to decide what to make for the last 2 blocks. Any ideas?.....I am drawing a blank, especially figuring out the last block. What to put on it, should my name be there? Any suggestions are appreciated!

I had to stop by and join your site...the blocks just made me smile!!!
ReplyDeletethis quilt is on my to do list
ReplyDeleteseeing your blocks just may inspired me to get back to it ! actually start it I think I only did one block!
LOL
hmmm suggestions? how about your favorite words or something that inspires you?
your initials would be good too...
Kathie
Name (or initials) and year!
ReplyDeleteLove your block fabric choices - that pindot background is great! I've wasted too many evenings lately due to a lack of prepped handwork. I plan to remedy that this morning.
great dotty background and I so loved your title - you said it sista!
ReplyDeleteoh, p.s. i really love my quilts that have the date and my initials on them.
ReplyDeletehave you done a self portrait on it yet?
ReplyDeleteKelly these blocks looked stunning in person too. Love the background! You have to make a block for Maddie's recital. And how about a self portrait of some kind?
ReplyDeletehaha just read Barb's comment.. Now you have to make one for sure!
I have Stars and Sprigs and plan to pull it out again in the new year. Love your blocks.
ReplyDeleteWell Christmas seems an obvious choice. I'm with Barb- a self-portrait set against a New Year's Eve block would be fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love that cute polka dotted background--lovely blocks...Julierose
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are gorgeous Kelly, love the backgrounds you have used too. You are so organised shopping early, I wish!! xo
ReplyDeleteI love the applique on the blacks dots, looks like fun stitching. Your name and year on the last block sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a favorite family picture DH, DS, DIL, DD and DG? I think it would be perfect and yes you should include your name, city and state.
ReplyDeleteI love your blocks! I'm hoping next year to finally do some appliqué. It's been years since I appliquéd anything.
For the last quilt maybe you could just get out a pigma pen and start writing about the project - why you started, what was fun, how it got tedious,which are your favorites, etc.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get the chance to put it all together and display it somewhere. I would love to see it as a whole wall of mini quilts.

Love your applque blocks, especially all the dots. It's going to be a beautiful and fun quilt.
ReplyDeleteFor your diary quilt... will a Christmas tree do? Something with snow? Or perhaps packages already wrapped up and a calendar in the background showing November... like you finished early. Do my questions trigger any ideas?
ReplyDeleteOhh I love the Stars and Sprigs quilt, your fabric choices look great!! A birthday cake for you? I think your name and dates would be good.
ReplyDeleteYes, your name needs to be on it! I like your stars and sprigs.....background is great!
ReplyDeletewow., you really hung in there. your last blocks will just come to you, they always have...joanne
