Blocks Two and Three

So happy to have a friend making the "Vignette" mystery
quilt with me.  I couldn't do this on my own.

JoAnn drove down from Logan today and we spent the
better part of the day combing through our fabric hoping
to find just the right combinations for blocks two and
three.  Must admit, it wasn't easy as we are not using
the same fabrics as Leanne used, but I like the choices
we came up with. 

We combined fabrics, labeled them for each shoofly block
and squares hoping that all will go together and be pleasing
to the eye when we are finished.  Did have to make a
quick little trip up town to the fabric/craft shop to get a
few more fat quarters.  (Will we ever  have enough?)

Blocks two and three are now ready to be pieced, but
they will have to wait until we finish block one.  Having
everything planned out allows us to sew whenever we
have the time.  Just a couple of more shoofly blocks and
then we can start stitiching.  Hope to get the stitchery for
block one traced so I can stitch this weekend.

We are really excited about the challenge we face in
making this quilt.  It is different from anything we've
ever done and is stretching us----just a little!

Hopefully, I will soon be able to post a picture or two
of block one.

Keep smiling,
Nola
