M&M Quilters- May 2013

These pictures are from the Wednesday Group. Patty and Julie H from Mesa are making progress on their Blocks.

Patty is working on the A & C with Pinwheel Frames Block of the Month

She's half way done with her 12" blocks.  

Julie H is making "The Romance Continues" Block of Month with her favorite color scheme.

Julie H also left another quilt to be quilted.  Isn't it a pretty one??

It was fun to choose a backing and quilt pattern and thread for this one. 

There were so many shades of the goldish brown/tan in the Thread boxes.

M & M Quilters -Blocks Progress

The Tuesday class spent most of their time cutting out blocks.

  June brought her Blocks that she is making 4 of to have a King Size like Lynn's A & C with Pinwheel Frames Quilt.  She is using the same "Butterfly" Fabric for her center squares. They look very different with the combination she chose.

Mary C got her Alternate Blocks all sewn.  The Romance Continues has 13 of these blocks.  That means lots of 4-patches and flying geese.

 Her quilt center is all together now and she is ready to add the borders. She came out to cut them on Wednesday.  Note to others using the Border stripe- Read the full directions.  Don't cut between the white and blue Floral border. Mary C's quilt will be a little different size than the Pattern unless she adds the seam allowance she lost to the inner border.  

 Wednesdays class was lively as usual and we got to see more blocks in the works.

Julie H from Mesa chose fabrics in her favorite theme for "The Romance Continues"  Her blocks include one from the other BOM that she cut by mistake in these fabrics.  It's great to see the blocks in all the variety of fabrics the M & M Quilters have picked.

These are Patty's Blocks. She is just starting on her A & C with Pinwheel Frames Quilt.  Most of her fabrics came from her STASH at home.  Patty is June's Friend and they both love their Purple fabric. June came on both days and got another of her corner blocks made.
Lynn worked on her Log Cabin Batik Quilt and has almost got the 60+ blocks finished.  They should be on Monday's Design Wall.

Design Wall Monday/Tuesday- April 16, 2013

OOPS! Mary C forgot to post the Blocks yesterday for the M & M Quilters group that meets this week at Thread and Bolts.   Since Lynn finished her whole Quilt and Mary C has all of her blocks made it's hard to remember. A day late but here come the Blocks...

M & M Quilters

M & M Quilters meet the 3rd Tuesday and Wednesday of each month. 

That name was chosen by the group.  What happened this week??

  Let me tell you!   Lynn handed out the 2 Blocks for each of the BOM's and the finishing instructions.  

Here are the two U-Taupia Blocks for February.

 

We spent 2 hours auditioning borders and sashing fabrics for Lynn's U-Taupia Quilt.

Lynn is going to sleep on this arrangement and see if she still likes in tomorrow.

Mary C's February Blocks 

Mary C cut out the parts for the Alternate chain blocks and made a couple so we could see how they looked on the Design Wall with the blocks done so far. The one on the far left is a block for March.

 Mary switched the yellow and green in the Alternate Blocks to tone down the yellow.  What do you think?

Only 7 more Sampler Blocks 4 Half Alternate Blocks and 11 more Alternate Blocks to make.
