While I’m working on the quilt for my aunt, I thought I’d show a few pictures now and then of blocks and/or projects I’ve worked on. I think I will eventually make a blue and white Seven Sisters quilt but initially I made two blocks — one in blue and white using 1″ diamonds and one in the orange and blue using .75″ diamonds. Sometimes I just make blocks with no real plan for a quilt, but rather to see, as in this case, differences in size or just to play with colour combinations.
Another row was added to the Spring Circles top last night and as soon as weather permits, we’ll get a shot of it out on the roof garden. All the shapes for the next row have been selected and I’ll start on those blocks tonight.
Wednesday was another rather chilly day although the sun did finally make an appearance. One way I know it’s chilly is that no one is out on the roof garden. Not even the gardeners have made an appearance yet this week!
Smudge took advantage of another cool day to stretch out and relax, as there’s not much to see out on the roof garden these days.
Lester was doing his house lion imitation again.

Love those Seven Sisters blocks! That will be a wonderful quilt when it is complete. I know what you mean about the cold. This morning the thermometer reads 37 degrees!! Brrrr…. Lester does a great lion imitation.

I do that too, just play with some colors and make blocks for no specific purpose. I like the blue and orange one.
We are having a cool week too and a rainy one. We needed the rain so I’m happy.

I adore the Seven Sisters pattern, and your color combinations are wonderful — I have a WIP languishing in my closet right now which you are inspiring me to pick up again.

Love the blue and white – reminds me of my blue transferware… I will have to make one some time to use as a tablecloth.

Love your blocks!
I have a friend who craves to own a Maine Coon cat. She is in Oz so they are quite rare over here, & veeery expensive!

That blue and white’s a pretty block–I could see a whole quilt made like that one. Although I have to admit, I’m a fan of blue and orange together, too, but it would make a rather loud quilt!

Making up individual blocks just to see what they will look like is a good idea. Maybe you could frame them or finish them like individual little quilts and hang them all on a wall somewhere.

Love the kitty photos as usual! I think they may well be the most photogenic cats ever 🙂
