GEORGIE PEORGIE SMELLS THE ROSES & MORE
I changed the large squares so that Mr. George could stop and smell the roses lol!
I am trying out different large blocks to surround His Excellency!
I'd like to fancy that his wife must have had a rose garden and that he took the time to stop and enjoy the attar of roses.....
I think I like these as well as the black with red roses blocks; I will use both in my quilt but I somehow think that this will be the center of it....
I need to cut out more large blocks and {sigh} more nine patch squares.....
Here's a closer look at those prints.....
AND:
I have made up a little list of "Things I'd Like To Make" over these next many months....
1) Georgie Peorgie ;
2) Lozenges;
3) Kitty Kats; (I haven't as yet decided on fabrics for these....)
4) Some kind of Log Cabin As-You-Go...to learn the process; and
5) Are you ready for this one?? A Christmas themed Postage Stamp Quilt--using up all those mini charm packs I have collected. I will be using 2.5" squares--
Now this ought to keep me busy and yet not bored....and hopefully won't freeze me up....am I being too ambitious? Perhaps......
AND...I haven't forgotten this one up on my design wall either:
I have to decide if I should use sashing or not, this is the one I have to leave up and try to figure out what I want/need to do to it....I want to use it as a wall hanging over our wine cabinet in our re-done dining room. I think the colors will be right in there....we'll see.
Hugs to all, Julierose, La Blageuse

I lean towards your current fabrics you have on the design wall. I have a bit of the George fabric or did. I used a bit in a wall hanging.
ReplyDeletelooking good girlfriend. dont do too much too soon. you need to stay healthy for the long run! Georgie Peorgie looks happy in the roses.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about cutting more little squares. I have my relaxing robin to do that for as well. played with lozenges last night. fun!
Georgie Porgie is looking great! I think I remember seeing some roses when I visited his house a few years ago. Sounds like some great projects. I have a pile of fabrics in the corner that I have pulled for a log cabin. Not sure which method I will use yet to make it. I can't believe I have never made a log cabin so I thought it was about time.
ReplyDeleteI love the way Georgie is coming along! It looks like you have lots of choices as to what you can work on--more fun, right? The purples in your crazy patch blocks will look great over the wine cabinet!
