What a delight. Studied blocks before reading so I was happy to read when I was *right* about Billie's spokes! Jo, Sheila's DP are bright and healthy and make my heart beat. I can feel it. Forget singing - this is much deeper. I'd have to dive in there. Glad you have 'em and not me and you know, I'm happy you chose to work with those tone-on-tone plates. I love the delicate yellow center. Perfect choice and then omg the sweet little basket. Great choice to create, fabulous choice!*karendianne.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15557033346962825857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910448650038310463.post-88196102712891312192010-01-28T12:09:43.644-08:002010-01-28T12:09:43.644-08:00That's a great collection of blocks!

Your thirties fabrics look like some I have left from my grandmother's fabrics. I am almost afraid to use them in case they would not hold together. (although I have used some to finish her quilt that was handed down to me - I just won't wash it) As for your yellow plates, I have always like blue with yellow....Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05627362326166805915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910448650038310463.post-81045084515164185442010-01-26T05:39:35.752-08:002010-01-26T05:39:35.752-08:00What wonderful blocks.

I got some at a "treasure sale' our guild holds twice a year. Mine are green and just need to be appliqued to a Background. I am still debating how to set them all together.

I'm drawn to the one from the yard sale that is from original fabric of the 30s and 40s. The spokes remind me of tiny ties. I can see how much fun this would be to play with fabric combinations! And to turn that one near the end of your post into a basket and perhaps even a butterfly...it looks like so much fun! I was in the fabric dept. yesterday of a huge closeout store and high up on the wall by the ceiling were quilt blocks all around the perimeter. I took out my camera and tried to take pictures of a few that "spoke" to me, but when I got home they were too blurry from holding the camera up over my head. Anyway, I thought of you as I was looking at all those quilt blocks. I'm glad you posted these Dresdon blocks though...didn't see any of those in the store. And they definitely "speak" to me! --LiliLilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003968489244660242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910448650038310463.post-27276396509212432992010-01-25T05:33:41.660-08:002010-01-25T05:33:41.660-08:00WOW...some terrific things going on there.

If it was me, I'd make all the centers the same....but I know it would look nice with them all different, too. Be sure to show us these projects as they get further along.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930049919252042391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910448650038310463.post-85099623044205769512010-01-25T04:50:33.946-08:002010-01-25T04:50:33.946-08:00Oh my these are seriously lovely.
