Crazy Patch Quilt Blocks

I have begun to make crazy patch blocks to be made into quilts!  These are the first 5 of 16 blue ones I made... Somehow I forgot to take pics of the rest of them

These plus a scrap pieced long enough for the binding have been taken over by my mother who has the table space to put them all together and pin them for the quilting.

We will be selling these at a couple of local Pow Wow's for really a fraction of  what they are worth but if we can recoup some funds we're happy.

Those that don't sell I will use my original plans of donating them to shelters and for its for the needy at Christmas Time.

These are the 16 blocks I've done up for the next Crazy Patch block quilt.  I will leave it up to my mother as to what blocks goes where, etc. These ones I added a few center patches that have fairies on them as they were already cut from a project I was going to use them on and didn't.

 

 These quilt blocks are all being made out of the drawers for scrap pieces of fabric that I have sorted into colours.  The next one will be in pinks!

Rita's Fairy Block

I know I have missed putting up several of the blocks I have done and one day I will go thru and figure out which ones are missing but for now here's the one I just finished... this for Rita. I used colours from the fairy's wing to bring out into the seam treatments and used tatting done my Rose Anne.. I'll have to hire Rose to do some more for me..LOL

Wendy's Fairy block

Here is the fairy block I did for Wendy in our RR. I ended up changing the block I had originally decided to do as inspiration struck at the last moment. Actually I had ideas for ALL the blocks but my butterflies made the decision for me as they went perfectly with this block... I went with what I hope is like looking thru the opening in the brush to e the fairy and had to include a mushroom button to which a fairy is dancing around :)

More CQed blocks

Wow... it's been a long timesince I last posted but have managed to get a couple more CQed blocks done just recently so I had to come and post about them.

The first is a Winter block for Thearica. I decided to work it all in white and crystal for a wintery effect. The second is a Fairies block for Laurie. I fell in love with the purple in this block so I had to work on it.

block for Ritva's Tea Time RR

I went a little charm crazy but hopefully Ritva likes the work I did on her block just the same :) Butterflies, tea and a little fairy stopped by too.

Darlene's Tea Time Traditional RR

Here is my work on Darlene's Traditional RR. the little
table runner she had on it just cried out to be to be prettied up so I stitched it down in place by the lace with a silver braid from Kreinik. then added charms and flowers and stitched in the Tea Time. I added a row of flowers to the left and bottom of the runner and to the right and bottom I created a lace fan. There is also a lazy daisy seam treatment below the runner by the row of flowers.Here is a picture of the full block WIP.

My Summer Dreams CQed block

After doing Cathy's block I wanted the fairies to come play in my garden so I did bit of a re-creation on my Summer Dreams block.
I still love Cathy's more as the colours are my favourites in her's but this turned out quite well too. :)

Fairy Garden Tea Party in CQing

I've finally had some time to get back to my CQing. After a dear friend's funeral I needed it!

Here's the block that I did for Cathy K in our Tea Time 2 DYB RR. My only problem with it is that I have to send it on as I just love it!

More updating

Ok as promised a few pictures of the blocks I haven't posted about yet. These first two are from the Victorian Tea Cats Quilt. they are blocks #3 and #4 seeing as I've lost my pics I don't have a naked block pic of #2 as it's already been worked on... near done actually.

These next two are from the Fairy Quilt Wall Hanging. This first one was nearly all embellished by Wendy F. who graciously offered to so some work for me on one of these blocks. She did a fabulous job and only left a few little areas for me to add a few bits and of course a fairy charm.

This one I've done all on my own. :)

I'm starting a new RR soon called "Fairies Fairies Fairies" and I've decided to use 3 of these blocks rather then 6 6" blocks so that I can finish this Wallhanging while working on other things as well and to get LOTS of different finishes to this piece!

Sewing Sprie!

I've been having lots of fun the past two days. I've been sewing to my hearts content even though my back is paying the price it is better today then it was yesterday and considering I've been down with a cold I'm not complaining because other then a little cough I feel much better!

I've been working on more fairy crazy quilt blocks and have managed to get 8 more completed! That gives me 9 with the FFT#13 block for the RR. I'll have 3 more to do up as I figure I'll need at least 12 total to make a quilt for my bed.

I'll take some time to complete I know but I'm enjoying watching each step. :)

Here are the 8 blocks I've completed:

May 4th PS.

I've made up my mind on this project! I've decided to make it a 9 block wallhanging and hang it at the head of my bed as I don't have a headboard. Then I'll be able to admire it daily. Once it's done that is. :)

Fabulous First Time #13

I just finished up the naked block to use for my FFT #13 round robin that I'm doing with the Crazy Quilting International group. It'll be the first block in my own personal fairy quilt... at least that's the plan right now :)

I knew I'd treasure the first one and I've been itching to begin putting together the blocks for the fairy quilt I wish to do for myself. So why not be sure this block will be for me :)

Here's a pic!
