Can anyone tell me where I goofed on this last one? I got in too much of a hurry and totally skipped a step. I had the block completely put together before I even recognized my error.
I'm also creating a quilt for my daughter for her birthday. She is turning 5 in a couple of months and I thought a big girl quilt was in order. I finished piecing the top using a jelly roll of Marmalade from Bonnie and Camille and some Riley Blake polka-dots.
My daughter has watched me piece this one together and has told me several times how pretty it is. She doesn't know it's for her and I don't plan on telling her until she finds it in a box she unwraps on her birthday. Of course, the best way to keep a secret is to tell the world wide web. :) Shhhh....don't tell her!!!
I really love that middle block. It would make a great quilt all by itself.
ReplyDeleteAs the wife of a retired Navy pilot, I am moved by your blocks for the Quilt of Valor. Thank you for taking the time to honor our servicemen and women. You don't know how much it means to them.
ReplyDeletea lovely gift for your daughter`s 5th birthday. The men of valor blocks are very nice, re the one you goofed on personally I see nothing missed? I like the irregular triangle making up the stars
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look great and your daughter's quilt is going to be really beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteum, I would say that you didn't trim your triangles on the block in question (that is, if you were not asking a rhetorical question, lol).
ReplyDeleteI love your modern quilts! Especially Batman. ;-D Wish we had a modern guild near here. I need a little push to move from reproduction to modern.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your blocks especially that middle braid one!
ReplyDeleteSorry. I cannot find the goof you say you made on the last QOV block. All those blocks are great!
ReplyDeleteLove your daughter's b'day quilt. She's right! It is pretty.
Love your creations!
ReplyDeleteI think you pressed the seams the wrong way on your block! That's OK, though. They are all beautiful and will be very much appreciated. Your little one will be very happy with that quilt!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou are on a roll! Each of your blocks for the quilts of valor look very nice... despite the peek-a-boo print. I think it actually adds to the block! And that sweet Marmalade top... Oooh! That is spectacular! What a wonderful surprise it will be! When she opens her present... be prepared for the biggest hug in history!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your QOV blocks, I think I know what you did wrong on the third one, but why point out mistakes, it is now Folk Art and nothing more needs to be said about it. :) I love our daughter's quilt, bright and cheerful, I'm sure she will love it.
ReplyDeleteI like your "ops" quilt block. It has a lot of character. :)
ReplyDeletelove the QOV blocks, and you know I love that Marmalade quilt!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to Needle and Thread Thursday!

You didn't make a mistake on that third block . . . you invented a new technique! It actually looks nice with the background fabric showing through. I hope you didn't re-do it.
