A Decent Wednesday Post

After posting Monday from my phone I realized the photos were lousy and so was the block! 
My excuse? My kids came into town Saturday and didn't leave until Monday, so I was spending time with them, but they didn't bring their computers so ours was being used for tax prep. 
So, please forgive that post!
This block is sure to make you smile!

 We have traded out one of Anita's blocks for this great shoe bouquet which can be found in many Ohio Miami Quilt samplers. It is such a fun block!
I'm not sure how much I love this block, but it will fit in with the others, so I'll keep it.

This one was way easier to applique than piece.
My design wall is getting too small to hold them.

I did forget the cheddar centers, but the humble part of this, (now ironed) block was the seam. I did not have enough muslin for it all. Once it is quilted, no one will every know.

Want to see more?
Karen is a whiz and I am following her lead.
Cathy  , Nancy and LuAnn are also making it. 
It is so fun to see everyone's unique take on this sampler.

  4. Quite the variety! Yep, the star with the leaf (?) is a keeper and I love the fabric you chose for it. Pretty wild and definitely fun even to watch as these quilts grow! The shoe bouquet does bring a smile, also love the fabric for the shoe. Nice!

    1. The star and plume block peaked my interest and after a bit of a search wondering if it represents Haley's Comet.

  5. The shoe fabric is an excellent choice. Makes a fun block. I am so glad we decided to use the shoe design.
    Now I can see the seam for the fabric addition. You made do and I don't think anyone will notice when the quit is done.

  6. They are all great especially the shoe. Did y’all draw this or photo copy it or what?
    I like the way you keep changing the pattern to make it yours.

  15. The whimsical shoe block is adorable! And the odd star and single feather would make a really cool swag border design, rotated sideways...[not for this quilt, just ''someday''].

  20. I've not seen a Shoe Bouquet in a quilt. Guess I haven't seen everything Quiltwise after all. Fun post with great blocks. I'm not a fan of the star and plume. maybe upside down in a corner?

  22. All your blocks look great! Like everyone else, I love the shoe block. Quite unique! And the star and plume is very interesting. I wonder if Jo is correct and it represents Haley's Comet.
