Isn’t this pretty?
It’s Annika’s variation on my Sister’s Choice pattern from the Free Patterns tab!
Looks like she has added in some sew & flip cormers to add some interest to the areas where blocks join other blocks…see how it changes the look?

Hi Bonnie
Annika (Swedish Leo) here. I am typing this in advance because when quilt cam is live here it is around 03:00 and that is a bit late to stay up when I have to go to work the next day.
I will catch you on YouTube later!
I am glad that you had such wonderful time in Italy!
It felt like I was there to through your blog!
I am working on this quilt, farmers daughter or sisters choice.I would say YES YES YES! It is looking great!
Close up view!
I am wondering if I am on the right track color wise?
Not so good picture, but is there ok balance between the with light and darker colors?
Thank you so much for all that you do! It is so much appreciated!
Sincerely
Annika from Sweden
Those little corners make such a great addition to an otherwise blank space, don’t they?

Remember my lozenges from last time? We got all the rows assembled…
This is as far as we got!
Tonight I’m joining rows!
Or pinning. Mostly pinning. Because all of those points have to be pinned to meet before sewing….and this is going to be boring, so why don’t you come join me and keep me busy?

Hi Bonnie...Mary here from Idaho...I'm pinning tonight as well although my seams are much shorter than what you're working with. Glad you had a great trip and enjoy your time in Alaska.
ReplyDeleteI have guild in an hour but Had to catch you before I go. I've been stitching our Final Lotto block in the A-Z that I've been sharing from Quilter's Cache. I put the Blocks together and got them mostly sewn. Nice that you can pin while we have QuiltCam.
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie, Loved your Italy pictures. I'm cutting strips for your Scrappy Bargello class when you come to North East, PA in June. Jilly and I are also taking your class in Jamestown NY 2 days before. We can't wait to see you!!! Melody
ReplyDeleteHiya Bonnie! I am happy to be here with you live as I am un sewing a mistake that I made on my Grand Illusion as I was sewing rows together. Oh My Gosh, I accidentally left out one of the doubled sashing units on the end of a row of blocks! So glad I caught the mistake before quilting, LOL! Love all your trip pictures, thanks for sharing!!! Vic in NH
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie from Southern California! So happy for quilt cam tonight! I am cutting for my three remaining blocks for a 1930's Trisket, A Tasket BOM while watching quilt cam in a coffee shop.

If you could only use one straight stitch vintage machine which one would you use. Want to purchase one but need an expert opinion as to which is best (sorry if this is a duplicate post my phone glitched)
ReplyDeleteBonnie, how many bricks are you adding to that quilt? rows? Julie
ReplyDeleteHave you quilted your last hexi quilt? How do you finish your hexi quilts - hand or machine quilted?
ReplyDeleteBonnie,
ReplyDeleteThis is Jennifer from Choctaw, OK. I love how giving you are to the quilting community and you are so appreciated for it!!!! I'm curious how you store all your quilts. My beds, cabinets, couches and you name it has a quilt or two on it. I'm getting overwhelmed with them and don't want to let them go as I give many away already.
Hi Bonnie ... The second Quiltcam that I have been able to watch live, but I can't figure out how to comment while you are "On the Air". Carole from Altoona, PA - Finally got to retire at the end of April!!! Signed up for two days at Mary's QS in Bedford (Aug) and wondered if you need a loaner machine while you are there. Would be happy to loan you one of mine if you need it.
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie, thanks for quilt cam tonight. I'm doing hexies and watching the hockey game while I watch. Enjoy Alaska. Am I hearing right, the hubster is going too? Neat !
ReplyDeleteThanks again,
Jane
