This past week has me really going to town on my Morning Flight project. Feels good in that area. Personally feeling a bit down in not getting this boot off my fractured foot. The six weeks were up, but while the X-ray showed good healing, the boot is on for another two weeks. Bummer such is life!
Morning Flight is really coming along well. Only three more blocks to finish. All the backings are selected and ready to get the pieces on them. This is the pattern I selected to do with my William Morris fabric collection. The pattern was designed to make in wool, so I have adjusted the directions for my fused pieces, and made some corrections with the placement and amounts of pieces in the blocks. No butterflies or hearts either. Blocks 1, 2 and 3 are done. Left side of the pattern going down. I am also making the blocks a bit larger than the pattern calls for, 9 by 12 rather than the patterns 8 by 11. I do not intend to put sashing between the blocks. Linky Parties on the Side Bar
I like how you are putting your own spin on the pattern. It looks like you are making good use of your healing time. Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, Morning Flight is growing nicely, it's fun to see the new blocks done. Sorry for your foot, and the disappointment. Good healing is the most important. Take care.
ReplyDeleteEnchanted Garden is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteAmazing blocks. Your applique is great! Yeah to having 3 blocks left! It looks so good!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! So sorry you have another 2 weeks in the boot. Hopefully it will go by quickly.
ReplyDeleteYour applique is lovely. It is a technique I have not mastered... maybe some day. Thanks for sharing in my Sew & Tell Party.
ReplyDeleteMaking great progress on Morning Flight. Your blocks are so pretty, it is going to be a gorgeous piece when finished!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely, Donnalee! I am a sucker for bird applique but not so much hearts or butterflies, either -- don't know why because I love seeing real butterflies in nature, just not a fan of them in appliqué or fabric prints! You are so close to finishing this!
ReplyDeleteDonna Lee Enchanted Garden is beautiful. So sorry to hear you are stuck with the boot a bit longer. Your quilting should be of some comfort when you stand back and see your progress especially since you are putting your own spin on the patterns! Thank you for linking with ToDo Tuesday. Good luck with making lots of progress this week 😉 Carol
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. You're so talented.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
Oh it must be so hard to have to wait longer for the boot to come off. But you can console yourself with the lovely blocks that you've made! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

That's quite an accomplishment. I particularly appreciate how you have tweaked the pattern to match you taste.
ReplyDeleteBoth quilts look great! Those blocks are a lot of work, but worth it
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed watching you progress, this is going to be beautiful. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.
