March Ramona

This is my March Ramona block.  I made center block twice because I didn't like my points chopped off. Grrrrr.

another Ramona

My 2019 February Ramona block.

a Long weekend. . .

 Made the last Thirties block for my 2018 Ramona baskets.  I'm nearly out of my favorite Kona Snow so I will have to wait to finish until I can order some.  I looked at the setting Ramona provided for the Civil War fabrics and will at least do the setting triangles and border.  Isn't this a sweet block?  I just love Thirties.

And here is the first block for Goose Chase.  I wanted to see how the red looked with the turquoise.  I hope Magpie likes this quilt when I am finished!  I like to include a little "joke" fabric when I make a quilt.  Can you see it?  One little flying goose made of turquoise 30's!!

Finishing up blocks. . .

Loving my 30's blocks.  I have one more to do and then I'm finished the basket blocks.
And here's the Civil War repro one:

The blue and yellow 30's block above is the same pattern as this one!

Goals for 2019

I can't believe Christmas break is over and I'm headed to work again on Monday!  After reading about Jo's completed BOM, I decided to start my list anew. 

1. PA Dutch-needs sashing and borders
2. Chocolatier-needs blocks
3. Cool Yule-needs sashing and borders
4. Ramona's baskets (civil war): one block left then assemble and make the borders
5. Ramona's baskets (30's): need to make three blocks, then assemble and add borders
6. Shelby's graduation quilt/goose chase-this one is the one that has really slowed me down

One the plus side, in December I found out that I am anemic and that's why I'm exhausted all of the time.  I started taking iron so I am hopeful that will help with my energy level and I'll be able to sew when I get home in the evenings. Plus the new Saturday Ramona started today!

The fabrics are batiks which I normally don't care for.  In fact, I was going to use civil war repros but I really like how this one looks, so I bought the batik block.

I need to make of list of things I completed this year.  That will make me feel better!

No. 10

This photo is a little washed out but here's block number ten.  I haven't made the 30's block yet. Two blocks yet to go!

More Ramonas

My September blocks.  I knocked these out yesterday so I will be ready for our Ramona group this upcoming Saturday.

The Basket BOM

 This is a better picture of the Basket BOM quilt plus a picture of my completed Ramonas crossed out. Only four to go!

eight

Block #8 for my Ramonas.  I have made one of block 13 but neglected a picture!

Seven

 This is Ramona block number seven.  Tomorrow morning is our block day so I had to knock this one out pretty quickly.  I was really busy in the beginning of July and planned to make this block during my vacation.  But instead I had a car accident and did absolutely no sewing.  I still need to make my 30's block.  Maybe tomorrow after the meeting.

I thought it would be fun to start marking off the blocks in the quilt.  This is a horrid cell phone photo but it will do! This is a monthly block program but you can see there are thirteen blocks in the quilt.  The final block will come with the finishing kit.

Thirties Ramonas

Aren't these blocks adorable?  I think I like them better than the Civil War repro baskets.  New block next Saturday . . .

more Ramona

These are my April and May Ramona blocks.  I really am enjoying these baskets.  We have another Ramona day on Saturday so I will be making another block them for June.
