Smith Mountain Morning

I've been sick for the last few days, so haven't been doing any sewing.  Thank goodness for friends who do quilting and allow me to share their progress!  This is one of the ladies from out Saturday sewing group.  We all try to meet up once a month.  Four of us in the group are working on Bonnie Hunter's Smith Mountain Morning quilt.  

This person is doing hers in different shades of blue and coral.  The last time we were all together, she managed to finish sewing all of her remaining blocks.  Hurray!!  What an accomplishment!  I am still working on mine.....and have a long way to go still.....lol.....but I will get there.

She went home that day and sent us a picture of it all laid out on her design wall.  The true colours are the picture above.  Goes to show you how different settings and devices, can affect the quality and colours of the objects.  It looks so pretty.  I love how the two blocks come together and make a secondary design.  It looks like the blocks are on point, but they're not.

The maker was so excited with the progress of her quilt, that she already has the border blocks done and starting to sew them onto her quilt top.  She can't hold herself back.....LOL!!  

One of the other ladies has really made some headway too.  She has almost all of her blocks done.  I am not sure about the third person and how far she has gotten along.  I know I got a text to help explain one of the blocks and construction, but no pictures of what her progress has been.  I'll just have to wait and see when we get together again later this month.  

As for me, mine is going to be King size, so I still have about 70 more blocks to make.  My colourway is dark blue and chocolate brown.  I've done all the brown stars, started on the blue stars and some of the courthouse step variation blocks, that Bonnie calls chimney blocks. These blocks are on my list of required blocks to make weekly.  If I keep up with my list, these will all be done by end of May.

Take care everyone.
