These blocks were sent to Alycia for her Quilts of Valor block challenge. I was so happy to make these and use about a yard and half of my fabric. (The more fabric that goes out the door, the more I can bring in new fabric.) You can find the pattern at Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville.
Since a lot of what I am working on has to wait for reveals later this year, I was searching for things to share with you. So, here it is, one lonely leaf hanging out on the front porch.
And here is where all its friends are for now. We have this beautiful Japanese maple in the front yard. And it has been singing to me recently. And it has been dropping its leaves like crazy. In our newly redone laundry room we have one small, octagonal shaped window. And, all I've been able to see out it recently is this beautiful red tree. It almost makes me happy to do laundry. Nah, I still hate laundry.
One dog is home without her buddy. Raggs is getting a Thanksgiving grooming. Kona's waiting for him to come play with her.

I love your colorful QOV blocks!
ReplyDeleteYour QOV blocks are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI am envious of your colorful tree - no color left here. All the trees here are bare, and it will be pretty drab for at least six months.
You commented on my blog that you had trouble making this block, but it looks to me like you did a great job. Your blocks are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the scrappy red, white and blues!! Good job on last week's goals!! :)
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful shades if red -- in the quilt AND the tree, glad you are getting lots done. Have a great Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteGreat trip blocks for QOV. Cute dog.
ReplyDeleteI had totally missed the challenge at Alycia's blog! The tree is very pretty---perhaps you need to see it from a very comfortable recliner. yeah--where you can play with some fabric. That would make it a GREAT tree!
ReplyDeleteHi your BOM quilt is lovely. My granddaughters name starts with T and her sisters call her TT I saw you have a block that is all t's
ReplyDeleteHow do I find where you have directions for that block on your site?
Thank you
