FNWF...... & My 2 quilts in the garden blocks are here. Border blocks done. Possible layout.

Is everyone going to join in this Friday with us stitchers. It's FNWF time over at
I'm not sure what I will work on yet but it will happen....



It has been great over the last few months working on these fun blocks. Designed by Deana over at
http://dodmystery.blogspot.com.au
This block has come all the way from Kathi in Alaska.... The quilt on the fence is so cute
Thankyou Kathi
And this one is from Linda T.

I have managed to make all 26 of my border blocks for this months finish....

And I even made the bonus Half square triangles too.....

So I had a play with the layout of the blocks. This was a row by row quilt but I am not doing mine in rows. Mine will look a bit busier and come out a completely different size. Oh the challenge.
I will fill in the spaces with the half square triangles and trim some blocks to make them all fit in.
This is what I have so far....
The empty space is for the one  I am still waiting on. A tree block is to come from Linda Th....

I am linking up with NTT

Quilts in the Garden finished

I have just finished my next 2 blocks for Deana's mystery quilt.
http://dodmystery.blogspot.com.au
I made the little quilts out of orphan blocks I had stored away. They only measure about 4".
I have added a twisted cord for the line and real wooden pegs too. Very cute.



In the mail yesterday was my first little pin cushion block and spacer from Ann. It didn't take very long at all from the States.. Thankyou Ann. Lovely colours.
This was Februarys design in the mystery.

QUILTS IN THE GARDEN with Deana

Here are the blocks I have done so far for my blocks in the 
I have been doing these blocks every month. If you sign up and make a block this month you get next months block free. We have been making blocks for a few months now. 
This month is Quilters in the garden.
Here are the blocks I have made. Some are to swap some are to keep. 


I am not stitching the clothes lines to Hang the quilts on because when they are joined with other blocks they may not match. Instead I will make a twisted cord to use for the line and the lucky winner can place it in the correct spot. There will be some clothes pegs sent too.
