Beautiful work! And you made those 70s browns look beautiful. SO where's the funky bee to go with it?Lily Mulhollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09804113718224654006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28124195.post-1158043177118554652006-09-12T07:39:00.000+01:002006-09-12T07:39:00.000+01:00Oh dear!It's a lovely idea but I would think anyon...Oh dear!It's a lovely idea but I would think anyone connected to a hospice would prefer something a little more cheerful than brown. Couldn't you increase the additional colours allowed? Of all the blocks shown I think your hexagon one is the only cheerful one. Small Dresden plates or fans could be quite happy with an injection of a zinger and not just the obvious ones. Better still, piece all the squares together for the backing of an altogether more cheerful quilt. But that's only one person's opinion, lots of people like brown otherwise the manufacturers wouldn't still be producing brown fabrics. I know this, I bought 5 metres of what I thought was navy background but someone's monitor lied.Anne Wigfullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311022081526484205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28124195.post-1158013158916978992006-09-11T23:19:00.000+01:002006-09-11T23:19:00.000+01:00Just discovered your blog.

Your writing just makes me giggle, all the Brit phrases. Glad your new job seems to be good, and that the kids are settling into school.

They are very quick to piece - I had 54 after about 1 1/2 days cutting and sewing.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125491177774966237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28124195.post-1157987025738415702006-09-11T16:03:00.000+01:002006-09-11T16:03:00.000+01:00its neat to see you think beyond a square when giv...its neat to see you think beyond a square when given a square :-)quiltpixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03027878871572340928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28124195.post-1157985659292075612006-09-11T15:40:00.000+01:002006-09-11T15:40:00.000+01:00HMMM, what would I do with those prints?

Jacob's Ladder? <BR/><BR/>Make a big squared trip around the world so I could inject some other colors in there---orange, green blue etc--oops, that would be a whole quilt and not a sampler block.<BR/><BR/>Why, are you sending us all some to make a block too, LOL?

Maybe b/c I'm a child of the 70s! It will be very fun to see what everyone comes up with.

Dark material like that needs bright showy colours to set it off and break up the monotony. <BR/><BR/>The brown material reminds me of French interiors. They are stuck in the 70's with everything very dark brown and orange. Some of the wallpapers I have seen are unbelieveable!<BR/><BR/>Clare xClarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344963200919601488noreply@blogger.com
