OK, I got all the plaid string blocks completed, and worked on sashings today. I had precut some of the sashing fabrics, so that went faster than it could have. I am going to work on cornerstone blocks and borders next. But...the vacuum calls...the dust need to be removed, so no more sewing today!! I will not be able to post for a few days now...if you are quilting along, please enjoy!!
Here is where I am on the BOW wool blocks from Primitive Gatherings. I do love these blocks...all in various stages of construction. I am really trying to at least get the greens down when the block first comes in...then it is great fun to add the colorful flowers. all hand blanket stitched, a few minutes each evening...wonder how long it will take to get all this done, LOL!!!Dear Jane is weighing on my mind...I must get back to her quilt, and soon!!!
Have a great week, all!!! I just want you all to know how wonderful it is to have gotten to know you...thank you so much for your friendship!

I have dreamed of making a plaid, all plaid, quilt. Yours looks great!
The plaids are looking wonderful as ever and I love the applique too. Have a great week and yes, I agree, it is so nice making new friends.
As usual, you're getting lots done and making me feel like a major slacker...LOL.
I love the pale sashing...very nice!
The BOW blocks are doing great...keep it up. I've got through 5 done. I need to photograph....
I love the look of the tan sashing in the plaid quilt. Have you chosen colors for your cornerstones?
Your wool blocks are beautiful!
Your scrappy plaid quilt looks fabulous - and I'm looking forward to getting started on mine but other stuff has got in the way - not so much a quilt-along as a quilt after everyone else has finished for me :(!
Your string quilt is another scrappy gem!
I have never done the wool work before...your blocks are lovely.
PS Don't waste too much time on the housecleaning!
Wow, wow and wow! :-)
BTW, Wow! LOL
Wonderful plaids, Julie! And your applique blocks are just beautiful. Are you sure the dust can't wait?
Another feast for my eyes! Yes the house is calling me too!
I love your plaid string quilt! It is gorgeous. I made my Dad a quilt out of vintage plaid shirts for Christmas last year and I love the look!
The neutral tones of your sashings give the quilt a totally different feel to the header quilt! Love how this can really affect the feel of the quilt :)
Another great string quilt!!!
Cleaning! No fun.
Those wool applique blocks are looking good. I so enjoy working with wool.
You are making it VERY hard not to start yet another project! Both of your in progress quilts look great!
Looking good! Will there be another border on the plaid quilt?
