I was thrilled when Pam Buda (HeartspunQuilts) asked Cyndi and I if we would like to participate in her new venture of
making this sensational c1880 quilt. I started swapping blocks with Pam, Cyndi
(Busy Thimble) and Janet (Rogue Quilter) nearly 2 years ago!
I have loved making every one
of these little blocks and have really enjoyed swapping with Pam, Janet and
Cyndi.
The antique muslin that
everyone is using for their background is sensational and I plan to use it for
something fun in the near future, but when I saw this chrome yellow bolt, I
fell in love!
Pam’s directions for piecing
are wonderful, but because the print is unidirectional, I had to make a
decision. I could piece it the way the pattern calls for and fussy cut the
triangles or I could simplify the process by simply placing the blocks on point
and stitching diagonal rows. You guessed it - I went for the simple solution!
The center of mine is also
unique thanks to Janet! She sent me 5 amazing “Rogue” blocks and I decided to
feature them in the center of the quilt. Just imagine – the center of these
little gems measures 1” (yes – 1”) finished! She used the selvage of one of Pam’s
fabrics one of the blocks and I thought it would be a fitting tribute to use it
smack in the center.
I’m sure I would never have
tackled this project without the gentle nudge from Pam. I have Cyndi to thank
for ALL of the fabrics I used in my blocks. My nearest guess is around 1,200
different fabrics in all.
I also have labels from Pam,
Cyndi and Janet that I will add to the back after my friend Kathy Boudreau does
her longarm magic on it!
I want to thank Pam for
creating this beautiful and truly fun project. Don’t be intimidated by the size
of the blocks. Pam’s easy to follow directions make them a cinch to piece. Please

out how to join the club!

ReplyDeleteFantastic finish! And at the end of 2019!! Your top is just beautiful. I love that you put Janet's blocks smack dab in the center. I have the muslin (from Cyndi) and I agree that it might be better used elsewhere--your choice of the setting fabric is perfect.
ReplyDeleteBRAVO!!!
And what's for 2020?? Barbara Brackman and what else??
Good play on words with the "rogue".

ReplyDeleteWhen I found Dr. Paul I was in desperate need of bringing my ex lover back. He left me for another woman. It happened so fast and I had no say in the situation at all. He just dumped me after 3 years with no explanation. I contact Dr.Paul through his website and He told me me what i need to do before he can help me and i did what he told me to, after i provided what he wanted, he cast a love spell to help us get back together. Shortly after he did his spell, my boyfriend started texting me again and felt horrible for what he just put me through. He said that I was the most important person in his life and he knows that now. We moved in together and he was more open to me than before and then he started spending more time with me than before. Ever since Dr. Paul helped me, my partner is very stable, faithful and closer to me than before. I highly recommends Dr. Paul to anyone in need of help.
