This project has certainly been languishing. I never thought I would finish the blocks, and of course I still have the sashing to assemble, but I'm FINALLY finished with my Web Sampler Celebration blocks. If you are familiar with the project, you might notice I have a couple of different blocks. I had a real struggle with accurately piecing a couple of them, so I picked 2 other 12" blocks and did my own thing. I love how these blocks turned out, and when it's put together with the large paisley sashing and black setting triangles, I think it will be stunning.
I finished just in time to start Web Sampler III. I swore I wasn't going to sign up for another one of these projects, but the fabrics were just calling to me. I love the Judie Rothermel Vicksburg colors of blue and brown. The blocks started to roll in yesterday, so after I finish assembling the first sampler, I'll likely dive into the blues and browns next. Nicole is going to join me on this one, but we're not putting any deadlines on ourselves this time. I don't do well under pressure!
Beautiful!!!!! I am tempted to join in this Web Sampler. I love this line of fabrics! Blue and brown is one of my absolute favorite combinations!
ReplyDeleteI think the substitute blocks you came up with are fantastic. We should make a trial Web Sampler III block this weekend and see how it goes! I received a half dozen or so more blocks in the mail yesterday.
ReplyDeleteLove your substitutions...I swore I wasn't going to do another one after my setting problems...but when I saw this fabric I knew I had to do it. I going to try to do a block later today.
ReplyDeleteI am tempted to do the new Web Sampler. I'm not typically "into" the civil war fabrics, but something about those blue/brown blocks is really calling to me. Oh, what to do. I really should be working on my Patchwork Party blocks too. Maybe I'll wait to see a couple of your blocks first. ;0)
ReplyDeleteLisa it's just gorgeous! I really like that "rogue" block on the lower left with the light background! I would love to do one of these....it's just a matter of finding time, time, time - LOL! Cheers!
ReplyDeletethis is so beautiful.

ReplyDeleteThey're looking good! Can't wait to see it finished. I'm waiting for Web Sampler III blocks to start coming in. Can't wait! Nancy in WI
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt, and kick myself on a daily basis that I didn't sign up for it.. I like the new one too, but much prefer the pink/red colour way than the blue.. poop is all I am sayin'!
