I have really enjoyed doing this quilt - wondering what the next edition of Homespun will surprise me with. And having a deadline to work to (to send photos to Homespun by 31st January 2010) pushed me along a lot.
My apologoes to the designers whose blocks I changed and also for he changes I made to the layout. But I have always believed that patterns are meant as a guide and an inspiration - and a little creative licence is only fair. In particular I changed the Girls Weekend with the car - I used another design for the car from Lynette Anderson O'Rourke and I changed the wording - to "August Retreat" and the signposts point to the location of the retreat and away from home!
Here are the individual blocks - in no particular order.
The House block
The Doves
Shopping
(couldn't resist the shoe buttons I found only last week)
Laugh Often
Tea with Friends
Balloons
In the car and one Rosalie Quinlan block
Friendlier with two
Hand of Friendship
Kindred Spirits
Off to the retreat
and the other two RQ blocks
and finally - the quilt itslelf!
