A4 – Posies ‘Round the Square
When the quilt is finished, I’ll try to remember to find tiny flat buttons to put in the center of circles. I just don’t think I can appliqué something that small. The first time I did this block, I didn’t even appliqué the leaves.
This block, along with the 4 others I did originally are in the orphan block box to be use in a future project.

What’s On My Design Wall August 15, 2010
Posted by Pam in KC in designwall, Oklahoma Backroads, SBS.comments closed
The Design Floor had Oklahoma Backroads on it for a photo. It’s in 8 pieces and I’ve got it pinned for the next 4 seams. Later this week I think I’ll be asking for advice on a border. Right now I’m leaning toward no border and a red binding — the same red that I used as the cornerstones in my Texas Braid.
On the Design Wall I have 6 blocks from Row A of Sylvia’s Bridal Sampler. I hope having them up on the wall will encourage me to get the other four blocks from Row A done sooner than later.
See what’s on other design floors, walls, bed, tables by checking out the links over at Patchwork Times.

A – 5 Amethyst
The challenge this month for the SBS_Offline_Quilters is 5 blocks from Row A. If I complete the challenge this month, I’ll have the entire row completed as I already have 5 blocks done. The other four I have left to complete are A4 – Posies ‘Round the Square, A6 – Tennessee and A7 – Cats and Mice, and A8 – Star of the Orient.

August Quilting Goals August 3, 2010
Posted by Pam in KC in 1000 Pyramids, BOM, dwr, goals, monthly goals, SBS, Star Struck, Texas Braid.comments closed
This month I hope to spend more time in my sewing room. I don’t have to work any weekends, so that will help tremendously. My Double Wedding Ring and my Sylvia’s Bridal Sampler quilts have not been touched for months, so I really need to get back to these two quilts. Naturally there are other bits and pieces I’d like to accomplish as well.
- Keep up with the SBS BOW and the monthly Offline Quilters’ challenges. This month the goal is 5 blocks on row A. Who knows what the BOW will bring. The end result should be 10 more blocks toward the 140.
- Three 12″ blocks – two are for a swap and one is the KVQG BOM. I should get the BOM pattern sometime next week.
- Quilt, Bind and Label the baby 1000 Pyramids – since I’m waiting for the baby to be born, the label might roll to September.
- Resume quilting on the DWR. I’ve taken the quilt from the floor frame and put it in the lap hoop. Last night I worked on it for a while. I’ll get back to you on how I like the hoop.
- Finish piecing the Star Struck blocks. This would be a good project for a sew-in with my quilting buddies. We haven’t had one of those for a while.
- Quilt my Texas Braid. Alright, I admit it. This is my long shot.
Will I finish everything I’ve put out on my list? Who knows. Check back with me through the month to see.

K10 – Tumbling Blocks
I worked on this block over a couple of days. When I had 3 or 4 of the blocks sewn together I held it up and my husband said “Tumbling Blocks”. Immediately followed by “Sometimes I scare myself with what I know.”

K1 – Road to Oklahoma
On my printed quilting goals sheet, I listed 12 SBS blocks to do, over and beyond the weekly blocks, which at the time had not been announced. Realizing two blocks I listed I already had done, I picked out another 5 blocks to add to the list so I could complete the first block on each row. After making 4 blocks this weekend, I looked though my list and decide the next block would be K1 — but recognizing that it was an easy block, passed and worked on something else. Then this morning K1 was announced as this week’s block.
I’d like to get another 3 or 4 done this week, but we’ll see.
