Aunt Millie's Garden Blocks 9-14

I've been remiss in my showing off of this wonderful quilt. It really has taken me far too long to get it done, but then I've had great excuses!

Here are Blocks 9-14. I now only have blocks 15 & 16 and the borders to do. Mind you, it'll probably take me another year just to do the borders! Sheesh they're big. And I have to decide which of the duplicates to put on the quilt and which to make into cushions. But that's a problem for when I've finished all the blocks.

So here they are:

Block 09, finished December 2010


Block 10, finished January 2011


Block 11, finished July 2011


Block 12 , finished November 2011


Block 13, finished December 2011


Block 14, finished December 2011


You can see I got inspired after going to Houston - but I'll tell you about that in another post. :)

Aunt Millie's Garden - Block 8.

Done and Dusted. This means I'm half-way through the blocks, and have completed one block of each of the colours that will be represented on the quilt top!

Block 8: Purple - I like the way the green leaves make an additional pattern inside the flowers, but it does make it rather a bit too green!



And here's a refresher- Click to enbigen!

The warm colours:



And the cool colours:



Yay! They are looking good, even if I do say so myself!

Aunt Millie's Garden progresses!

Block 4 in Orange: Very Cheerful!


Block 5 in Red: It took me a long time to accept the centre petals of these ones but I think they work.


Block 6 in Indigo:


Block 7 in Yellow: - Not too happy with the centres of these, but will have to change it later - I don't have my fabric stash with me!


And here are Blocks 1 through 6:


I am now working on Block 8 which is the first purple one, then I just have to do 9-16 and the borders of course... oi vay!

Aunt Millie's Garden - Block 1

I just finished the first block of a needle turn quilt called Aunt Millie's Garden. I am very proud of the way it turned out so I thought I'd start documenting my quilting achievements as they happen for your edification and my bragging rights I suppose.

So, here is Block 1 of my interpretation of Aunt Millie's Garden:
