Welcome to another WIP Wednesday! I've been productive this week. How about you?
Completed:Modern Meadow. I'm doing a Kermit-the-frog "Yaaaaayyyy!" right now. Arms flailing and everything.
Skill Builder Sampler Quilt-Along - currently caught upWell, here's my bowtie block. Eh, not loving. I was hesitant to use white as a background for any of these blocks, but I did it anyway, and now I'm regretting it. It looks kind of washed out and boring next to the other blocks. I'll probably either redo this one or scrap it.
Summer Sampler SeriesHow much do you love this Evening Star block? It was so much easier than I expected! And it's beautiful! You can check out the tutorial on Kate's blog, and hop over to Faith's for today's block.

I love your modern meadow quilt! The solids you used play off each other in a great way! Totally in love!
ReplyDeleteI love your SBS blocks! I agree about the white background, but I still love it! They are all beautiful! And that Farmer's Wife block is AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't scrap it! Things look SO different once they are quilted.
ReplyDeletepretty stuff!

Finished!!! You are my hero. Everything looks great.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't scrap the bow tie block either.
ReplyDeleteLove the Evening Star block, it looks great.
The Modern Meadow quilt looks wonderful, congratulations on finishing it!
The bow tie block is definitely my favorite of the skills builder blocks.
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt you have finished.
All of the blocks are beautiful. I cant wait to see the Skill Builder when it is complete. The Meadow quilt is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE your modern meadow quilt! In fact I love all your photos of blocks this week - go you!! xx
ReplyDeleteHi there I am new to all this blogging thing but getting there slowly..... ahh what is WIP wednesday? I havent been able to figure it out... eek dumb huh?
ReplyDeleteI love your work, but I especially love the block you have posted from the summer sampler series. Both color and fabric choices are great!
ReplyDeleteIMHO I like the bow tie block- even though it is lighter is overall colour, I don't think it is out of place at all. Maybe see how you feel when you have more made? And Evening Star is going on my 'to-do' list! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteModern Meadow is just lovely....so, so nice!
ReplyDeleteWow, a finish! I'm jealous Lee! All of mine seem so far from finishing! Your SBS and FW blocks are looking so great. I LOVE that Evening Star! I may have to incorporate that one into something.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visual - I love Kermit, so that gave me a good laugh :) I really dig your Century of Progress block! And your Modern Meadow finish is really great, too! Maybe it will inspire me to finally use some of my Modern Meadow...
ReplyDeleteOoo I really like your modern meadow quilt - very classic and lovely!
ReplyDeleteEvening star is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteNice job, Kermit! :)
ReplyDeleteLove that Evening Star block. It's one of my favorites so far!

ReplyDeleteLove the colours of your modern meadow quilt. I can't wait to see your next two projects quilted! Once again thanks for hosting WIP.
ReplyDeleteJust love your Modern Meadow quilt. All your blocks look great this week, especially the one for the summer sampler.
ReplyDeleteYour Evening Star block is gorgeous (:
ReplyDeleteYour varrious block projects all look great!
ReplyDeleteI kind of like the white background, and if you use it again for a couple of the blocks, it won't look out of place.
ReplyDeleteLove your Century of Progress block, the colors & prints are great together!
#38? You know every week now I hope I'll have to miss this, for a good reason! :)
Your blocks are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove your Modern Meadow quilt. It is both modern and beautiful! The evening star block is amazing. You are very productive, and have time for organizing this WIP event too, thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting WIP Wednesday and for such an inspiring blog! I love how Century of Progress turned out - I'm gearing up for that one myself. And the Evening Star block is really pretty, I may have to try that one.
ReplyDeleteYour have been busy! Love the progress your making. I am still away from my sewing machine and can't wait to get back to it so I can sew. Not able to look at blogs very often either and I sure miss all the good stuff.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks wonderful;as usual Lee...love the Modern Meadow quilt....gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteLove that Modern Meadow. I almost feel like a contented cow munching clover. Really, Lee, it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour Modern Meadow quilt is fantastic! I really like the natural solid for the background. :)
ReplyDeleteEverything is beautiful but your last two blocks are really something. I love how you're using black in your one project. But sparingly. So it's still colorful but also mega-sharp with the black.
ReplyDeleteYour finish is wonderful. I'm laughing picturing the happy dance a la Kermit. Too fun.
ReplyDeleteYour Modern Meadow quilt is incredible!! Way to go -- must be a great feeling!
ReplyDeleteI don't think the bowtie block looks kind of washed out and boring next to the other blocks at all. If anything, I think it balances them because the white solid complements your green and purple solid backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteI adore that Evening Star block too. I'm looking forward to making it!
I like your bowtie block - the white adds a bit of calmness to the other blocks. I have a few blocks I'd like to rip out and re-do (shade/color not what I'd hope), but I figure by the time we all get 52 blocks completed, there will be places for all sorts of blocks! And if, at the end we don't like something, we can rip it out then or make a new one.
ReplyDeleteYou HAVE had a productive week. Just the opposite of me! I'm glad you changed the fabric layout in FW Century of Progress. I kept thinking it was a mistake in the book. I don't know if I was or not, but I wish I had changed my fabric placement too. Yours makes much more sense!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great! I especially love that star, what an amazing block. I need to try that one out myself. :)
ReplyDeleteLee, I ADORE your Hope Valley quilt top! I don't really care for the fabric seperately, but TOGETHER... they look fabulous! Can't wait to see how you quilt it! And I like the bow-tie block with white! You should keep it :-) I'm adding some white to my FWQAL blocks.... I think it gives the eye a nice spot to rest every now and then... amongst all the teeny tiny pieces and blocks! Cheers!
ReplyDeletesuch gorgeous projects friend! (and YAAAAYYY!!! on the finish!)
ReplyDeleteHow much do I love the evening star block? An awful lot!!! It's oh-so-lovely!
ReplyDeleteLovely Evening Star block. I am counting down the days until school starts. Hopefully I will be able to fit in some more sewing time.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to respectfully disagree with you. :) The bow-tie block looks great! Ok, I might be biased and I love me a white background, but don't throw it out yet.
I am going to have to wave my arms around in the air the next time I have a finish! YAAAAAAYYYY! Love it.
Love these! I think the bow tie block looks great, and I especially like the evening star colors.
