I am really looking forward to working on all these rows!
Rockin...yours is awesome! I love the colors and theme. Fun.
Nicki, I was pleased to see red!! How weird, I'm doing blue!
I need to get my PP block printed at 200% and I can start.

Yea! fabric all cut and some sewn. Had an outside appointment today, just got postponed to next week . I get to go back to my project! Watch for pic .

Rockin! Love the cake and the "party". Reminds me of Mary Lou Weidman's fun quilts.

I bought the Modern Quilt Block book at joann, with a coupon of course.
I had the PP pattern printed and am ready to go. I am doing a Union Jack block. I just love the X graphics of it.

The party is move'n on, I just received J Lu's row. What beautiful Christmas panels! I have an idea just need to make sure I have the correct colors.

Still a bit more work on mine and I will get in in the mail, hopefully before the postage rates go up

Just finished my row . I am happy with the way it turned out. The red really pops! May use the birdie fabric for borders, not sure about the sashing yet. Will get it to the post office soon.

Very striking, Fleur.

Yes! Have my plate clean and have gotten started on this. You all have been so creative, so much eye candy and inspiration.
Here is a start on mine...

Rondi

I showed mine on the PM's but I'll show it here too.

Bluesnail, are you ready for it or shall I hold onto it a little longer?

Fleur55 glad the big guy made it safe. I love your row. I am putting on my thinking cap with all I have seen already. Please don't over think about the colors, it's Christmas I think Santa loves them all.

JLu - I sent my row out yesterday, so be on the lookout.
(sent conf. # to Nicki)

The Happy Birthday fabric is full of color, so go off that. Whatever you think looks good. I would prefer tone-on-tone kind of fabrics so it doesn't become too overwhelming.
Have fun!

Yeah I've been looking at your row all week. I have my idea already just waiting for your fabric. Can't wait to get started.

Ely is leaving for vacation today so I won't be mailing to her. I will mail mine to who Ely mails to when it is time to mail again for March 1.

Ely will receive mine at the very end of the robin to create her row for me so it doesn't hold the robin up.

J Lu, I have been working on your row , having a great time playing with Christmas fabrics.

RockinBobbin I received your row today. Wow! It is so much prettier in person. I've already stated my row for you I was waiting for your fabric to come in. Love it. It's going to be a great Birthday for everyone. Now I want to make my grandchildren one.

Awesome Fleur can't wait to see it. Now are we posting our rows from us? I would like to keep some of this a surprise from myself.

I PP'd my first block.
Part of next started.
Loving the blocks/rows so far!

Watching with great interest! Wonderful!

Very striking block Irish , love the use of the two colors together.

J Lu, I will not post your row, would you like to see the fabric? I'm with you I think I would like to be surpised. Either way we will have a wonderful quilt when the rows are all put together

Irish.... that is sooooo cool. Will all of your blocks be sewn in that design? I'd like to start thinking about a block that would look nice with that (just ideas for now). You do not have a "theme", correct?

JLu - glad you rec'd it. I don't mind if you post pix of mine. But, for yours, we should keep it a secret from you - is that right? (I just looked it up; I don't get your row 'til last anyhow.)

Have a good day.

Yeah I don't want to see my rows! I want it to be a surprise. I don't want to see the fabric either ok.

Irish I Love your block. I really love to paper piece your points are so pointy right. the teal fabric is stunning..

the bad weather is heading in so I guess I'll have to sew all weekend. Bummer huh!

JLu - are you some kind of Willpower Superwoman?
There's a pan of brownies sitting on the kitchen countertop. They are warm and gooey and chocolatety.......you: ?.......

Oooooo chocolate I love it. Well yes you could say that RockinBobbin I am a sort of wonder women. At least my husband and kids think I am. Lol!

I'm working on your row right now little girl and I ain't showing ya. I like to share the pain.

Oh -no way?!? Not even a little peek? No fair.
You have no idea what this does to me.
I am the girl that sees that pan of brownies and dives right in. I don't even care if it ruins my appetite, or my self-confidence! Zero willpower. Period.

Ttttteeeeee!!! I'm almost done.

My blocks are done. Going to get them sewn together and I'll be ready to mail.

Rondi

Done! I won't get to the post office today but I hope to get to there Tuesday. Will let you know Thearica!

Rondi

Ooooh...what fun rows I am seeing!!

Rockin, all 4 of my blocks are the same pattern.
I have no theme. Do whatever moves you!
I have one more to PP.
They take a bit of time.
I am initiating a RRRR in my guild!

I'll be on the lookout.
It's certainly more challenging without a theme. I'm noot quite sure what I'm going to do yet.

Quiltaholic, be on the lookout for my package. Have it sitting at door to go to PO today.

Rondi

Task completed!
Rondi

ekbuckeye, rows just sent Will PM confirmation number.

I have idle hands, need something to do... RN55, are you close to being ready to send? I can't wait to see a package in my mailbox.
Q~anxious to see if mine is in your mailbox today!

Rondi

Looks like we are all on target for a February 1st start date.... yea!

Irish - I will have mine out to you in Monday's mail. Have a feeling with the weather being so dang cold a lot of us will be spending a lot of time inside sewing!

Warm buns, I will have mine in the mail no later than Monday.

I received Rondiquilts package!! I haven't had time to open it yet but wanted to let her know it came yesterday!

Thanks! Good to know. Although I have plenty I need to be doing here I am anxious to get my next row and start working on it. Course, no rush, RN55, I realize we have till the beginning of the month to get in mail. Just hard to sit on my hands...


Rondi

Actually to keep everyone on the same time schedule as best as possible, Nicki's instructions were to mail so it is received by the first of each month... not to mail by the 1st.

quote:

Mail Date: Mail your 12” Blocks to be received by February 1st.

I spent the morning finishing my row up.
I will mail out to you Rockin, on Monday
after work.
I will be on lookout for yours Nicki.

My row was mailed today to Lace Angel. DC 03121430000266980326

Andi

Irish - that's beautiful, but I can't wait to see it in person.
I sent you a PM about my row idea.

Irish...wonderful colors together! Love it!

This is a photo of RN55's row..She could not get her photo size down small enough to post so she emailed it to me so I could help her... She has had the flu for a week and needs our good wishes to feel better soon. She will be mailing tomorrow.

Very pretty and colorful RN55. Thank you for sharing.

I like that. Thanks for sharing, now I kinda get an idea of what I maybe able to do to add to it.

Rondi

quiltaholic thank you so much for posting my row. rhondi cannot wait to see what you do. the fabric I am sending along is the background the white print. I also put a small piece of a campanion piece to really to really show all the different colours that can be used. and just for the record I hate auto correct!!
