Here are my purple blocks that I mailed quite awhile ago.

Jennifer

Wow, those are so pretty, Jennifer! I am having a time finding the fabrics! I need to get a 'feel' for this. Black center, then lights to darks, I guess?? I've found shades of turquoise, but no purples.

Thanks, Beth. Yes, Kona black center, then light to dark. I thought going light to dark on the off-white side was a bit of a challenge. Recently, I saw a helpful tip recommending to put your fabrics in order and then take a black and white photo to help verify the ombre effect. I'll have to try that next time. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Here is mine.

Did them today! 3 to send and 1 for the box in the closet!

Sent 3.

the more I see of these blocks, the more I love them!!

OKAY!!! Time to get busy if you are thinking of joining this lotto - you still have almost 2 weeks to knock out some of these blocks and get them to Linda.

The mail brought me blocks from Carol in Nevada, both October and November. Thanks, Carol.

littlehelen! LOL, I especially love your first picture. It makes me comfortable and right at home!! <3

Got your blocks, Beth. Thanks. We're up to 18, ladies. I am expecting at least one more envelope so this will make a nice quilt.

I got mine packaged today. It will go out in tomorrow's mail. Like you ladies said, I learned a lot from making three blocks.

Congratulations, Christine!

Congratulations!

Congrats Christine!

I got home from vacation to such a nice surprise on my porch. 23 beautiful blocks. 9 purple, 8 teal/jade and 6 combo. Thank you all so very much.

Congratulation, Christine! Gee, it would be fun to see a photo of them all together. Hint, hint.

I finished the flimsy with the log cabin blocks. It will make a twin quilt that will fit pretty well on the bed in my sewing room. I just have to get it quilted now. I'll send it out to someone to do an edge-to-edge pantogram on it. Does anyone have any recommendations on pattern or thread color.

The blocks went together really well. Thank you all for your contributions.

That is just beautiful!

Theresa

I love it! Amazing how well it went together.

Sue

That is beautiful...it is such a treat to see the end result of everyone's contribution. Thanks for sharing and lovely job putting it all together!

That looks awesome!!!

Oh, that is so beautiful. Thanks for posting a photo. It's so much fun to see what is made from all our blocks. You did a wonderful job putting them all together.

I love they way the blues and purples are balanced.

And the borders are the perfect match and finish. It is a very "rich" looking quilt. Bravo!

Theresa

I forgot about your question. Personally, I think there's too much of the light colors to use a blue or purple thread to quilt it, although many folks like that look. And I definitely wouldn't use a stark white. I think a cream, taupe or light tan color might work best. Ask your longarmer. S/he would have a lot of experience in that regard.

I love it. I love the way it turned out. I'm so glad you shared. I wanted to make a log cabin quilt when I first decided to make a quilt. Everyone advised against it because of being a beginner. Once again, I'm sure I want to make a log cabin quilt.

Wow. It's a beauty!!
