I finished all the blocks for my Rosemary & Thyme quilt. Now just to get all of them up on the design wall and sewn together. Now that is finished I can get a few mini projects handled and out of the way.
When I first saw a picture of the Rosemary and Thyme pattern on Facebook I thought I could master it by myself. That did not work very well and I realized that after wasting a lot of fabric trying to figuring it out I would just buy the pattern and get over it. But this block was my attempt and I didn't want to toss it. So I took some time this week to make it a little wall hanging and put it up on the brick wall in our kitchen.

Your Rosemary & Thyme block is lovely, and I love how it looks while framed and hanged. Your NYB blocks are beautiful too, it sounds like it's a great and fun class. These Tim Holtz Elements fabrics are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing and linking up.
I like your wall hanging. Sometimes playing to figure out a pattern is the challenge we need.... and other times solving the problem with the pattern works too! Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThe little wall hanging is the perfect use of the block. Love those paper pieced blocks. You choose such good fabrics for them.
ReplyDeleteloving those NYB blocks a whole lot....
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to try to create our own version of things. Sometimes I succeed and many times I don't. I've started buy on line patterns as PDF just in case I want to start really early on them. I was surprised to see you live in California... I lived there for quite a few years but always closer to the sea -- San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego areas. For some reason I was sure you lived in Maryland. DUH!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your NYB blocks!!! Off to bookmark that series.

ReplyDeletelovely blocks!
ReplyDeleteYour NYB blocks are so cool! I do like Tim Holtz fabrics and am about to start quilts for both grandsons using some of his fabrics. Very cute wallhanging too.
ReplyDeleteI love mini projects like that. Your hanger is super cute.
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to play around with block orientation when putting the blocks together. No reason this can't be a funky New York Beauty quilt.

ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth the price for the pattern, eh? Lol! I've done the same thing myself. Afterwards I tell myself, "Worth every penny!"

ReplyDeleteHi Donnalee, that's a cute block but sometimes it really is easier to buy the pattern! Your New York Beauties are awesome in that fabric - I've never had the nerve to try that block. Thanks for linking up to FM Mavericks!
