Thirty blocks on the wall at last

A quick post today because I have the blocks for UANDUQAL finished!!!
Up on the wall here - all in place.
Bear in mind that these are just roughly pinned on the wall.



Yes, quite bold and full of saturated colour compared to the original but I focused
on the pattern rather than the softer fabrics used in the book.

I am so pleased to have them completed because I decided on the border fabrics
six weeks ago and can't wait to have these blocks sewn up
and borders on. I'll say now that the main 
fabric of my choice is naturally a little different.

Before I head off  once agin to catch up on reading your blog posts - going
back to my old routine of heading to the computer in the early morning with
a cup of tea to read new posts in future - here are two more
photos of roses in the garden.

Perle D'or


Princess Anne

All for now, enjoy your weekend and happy quilting.

    Just beautiful color sewn with your magic touch for selecting fabric. You have worked on these quite a while so I am glad to see you reach this point in the process! Enjoy that step before you venture into the rest of the journey. We have to celebrate each stage as we get there thru our pain and limitations.

    lovely blocks I love your bright colors and the rose! I had horribly roses again this year my bushes are getting old and aren't as nice as they used to be (but then I am neglectful)

    Ah, what wonderful roses! It will be a long time until I see roses outside. Oh, the quilt is so gorgeous. I wish I could junk all my fabric and get a palette like yours!

    It's like looking through window panes into a lush Kaffe garden.

    Hi Maureen, you are tenacious! I'm looking forward to seeing the borders.
    Your Princess Anne Rose is a beauty.
    A good cup of tea in the morning is always a great way to get started on the day.

    This is fantastic already Maureen! The pattern definitely has a lot of possibilities when it comes to working with all different color palettes. Would be so interesting to see more versions of this one.

    I used to enjoy early morning blog reading with a cuppa, much more cheerful than the news. You are definitely not scared to use colour, looking forward to seeing what border fabric you use. Please post lots of pretty roses, I don't grow them so enjoy seeing other people's.
