For now, I will show you more results of my ‘misfit blocks’ and so far… I am still motivated! Ha! 2013… here we come!
I named this quilt by the name of the yarn I used to couch the flowers onto {the KISS} blocks. It’s “River Twist” by one of my favorite companies, Mountain Colors of Montana.
Of course, I felt the need to add something more, so I did that with some Bobbin Play, using Red Razzle Thread.
I like the warmth of these blocks, and they are something a little different from the other sets I’ve put together… it was a bit of a challenge to figure out how to bring a bit of ‘new life’ to them, but I’m satisfied with how this turned out too.
I also found my free motion quilting to be in need of a tune-up! Bring it… on!
So… question for y‘all… should I leave the centers plain, or put a button… or something on it? I am undecided…
So it’s time to announce winners! Yay! Courtesy of my sweet husband, he gave me the numbers #5 and #9!
That would be: Yvonne {for the patterns} and Happy Cottage Quilter {the magazine!} She has lots of time… poor girl broke her wrist ~ badly. So here’s to some sweet healing time…. and reading time, Jocelyn.
Happy New Year Eve’s everyone. I know I am blessed, and I hope and pray, I am passing it on, continually.
May you have a lovely celebration~ and always,
SOLI DEO GLORIA!

Yvonne, you are welcome, my sweet classmate from 1976!!
I am leaning towards leaving them the way they are. The cording adds so much and draws the eye to it that maybe adding a button would draw the eye towards the buttons instead. What ever you do will be lovely though.
Отличная работа!!! Очень нравится! Пока только мечтаю научиться шить такие вещи как у Вас!
I love what you did with them! I kinda like them just the way they are. So pretty. So blessed to have come to know you this year, Leslie. You are a bright, wonderful light. Thank you for your friendship. Happy New Year! xo
Thanks so much Les for the patterns. Now for a question, did you lay the cording down and then sew it to the quilt blocks? That is really cool looking. I love your work!
Thanks again
Yvonne Layton 🙂
Oh thank you Leslie. I do have lots of time for reading and dreaming.
I'd leave them plain Leslie!
Happy New Year!
I love the colors. I'm so scared to try freehand quilting. I know I'll mess up something I worked hard on.
Happy new Year!
Yeah, I would put something over where the cords all meet in the middle – and looking forward to what that will be! Know it will be a pleasant surprise! Happy New Year, Leslie!
