This has been so interesting of a process to me. It is rare that a new large-scale project unrolls so smoothly! This has just been peaceful, methodical, and easy...The green arcs went on in a mid-value range...the four corners will be darker green.
All of this of course is background...the embellishments will be much more saturated and vivid in the foreground....
Piecing the greens was a great way to spend my birthday, in between phone calls and emails from loving family members....God is very good to me, and I am grateful.
I'm really enjoying seeing this all come together.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are lovely, and Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be gorgeous. Belated Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Allie! It sounds like you had a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled to be seeing another of your lovely works in progress!
Oooohh....I'm hoping that the center is going to be PINK!! (I'm selfish; It's my favorite color.) I remember from your old blog you had a tutorial on curved piecing. Luckily, I printed it out at the time since all your old posts were lost. Problem is, I don't know where I stuck it. It'll turn up one of these days but I just LOVE the flow of your curved piecing...Bravo!
ReplyDeleteBirthday hugs Allie!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday dear Allie.. glad you had an enjoyable day... Can you tell me what size each of the single squares are for this block? The colors are lucious!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Allie - sounds like you had the perfect day ... thank you for being such a sharing & caring soul. I just love popping in to see what you have done for the day ... myyy you are working very well as I think you are moving quickly with this project ... OOroo ... Bethel
ReplyDeleteThe center row looks like a warm glow! Happy Birthday! I was just thinking yesterday - today is the anniversary of my first NN article for which you had made that gorgeous CQ block - then took off for Mexico or somewhere, I believe. I had forgotten about the birthday element now also - hope you had a wonderful one.
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely--opening the page is a pleasure. And happy birthday! You're right, I can't think of many better ways to spend one's birthday.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Girlfriend!!
ReplyDeleteBelated tho it is. May you have a glorious year...
I like the colors of this piece.
Oh my, Allie, this is SO pretty. I look forward to each addition! Hope you had a wonderful birthday and that the coming year will be a wonderful one for you, full of joy and happiness!
ReplyDeleteAllie: We share a birthday? Was your birthday yesterday as mine was? April 30th?
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! Hope yours was as nice as mine was.
Happy (Belated) Birthday, Allie! What a beautiful project this is going to be (AGAIN!). You give us all so much joy with your blog - I hope a measure of it was returned to you yesterday - and every day!! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteI love watching you put this together. You do such amazing work and inspire me.

Excellent job on matching the values, Allie. Happy Birthday! Was it yesterday? How appropriate. ;0)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how fast you work -- only a couple of days and practically a whole quilt top pieced -- you're amazing! (also, Happy B-Day).
ReplyDeleteCatch me, I'm fallin'!! WOW Allie, that is just superb! SO gorgeous...and a belated Happy Birthday to you!!

Birthday Wishes! Isn't it great to be 39?
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful birthday.
ReplyDeleteIt's so interesting to see how this quilt is evolving. I don't comment often but I do frequently read your blog. I made one small doll size crazy quilt and I really loved it. I plan to start a larger quilt soon and am inspired by your beautiful work.
Happy birthday Allie! It sounds like your day was special.
ReplyDeleteThrilled to discover your site.....overwhelmed and inspired...will be back after I digest what I've seen.
ReplyDeleteThank you
Shirley
Happy Birthday and may you have a joyous year! Was the BD April 30? My oldest DD was born on that date.
ReplyDeleteLove the color arrangement you're putting together.
So, so lovely. Friend KTs if beautiful, too. Hope this new year is filled with all your favorite things - and it looks like it's off to an excellent start!
