 Here's a sneak peak of a small part of my Jubilee project. I didn't want to show my start just in case I couldn't pull it off. Looks like it is going to work and I'm thrilled!!  Be looking for more next week.
 My drunkards path blocks from Martha have been my evening hand work. I was sewing the sections together in between the paper piecing in the previous photo.
These are sewn together in fours... Yep, one is messed up and I thought quite a few times, I'd take out the stitches and change it, but I like it. Isn't is funny how it is the brightest and most obvious color that I messed up on?!

I have weekend plans that start on Friday morning, so I will talk to you all next week!!

I particularly love your drunkard's path! Those fabrics are adorable! I like the idea of an odd one out - you could always keep it?

Mary said...

you talking about that half circle one up there? Too funny! Put it in the middle for a focal point.

Susan said...

I love what you have done so far on both projects!

Karen said...

I thought you were going to use solids for your Jubilee quilt. Is that the poison green you were waiting on to arrive in the mail? Just a teaser but it is looking very good with those curves and points.

Taryn said...

Oh boy, I am liking the start of your jubilee project. Can't wait to see more. Have a good weekend...

Sharon said...

How exciting! Quite the tease with only showing these fabulous arcs. Love the mistake, finished is better than perfect, right?

Colleen said...

Your jubilee project is off to a magnificent start! Congrats!

Marsha said...

Wow, your sneek peek is very interesting, something to watch! I like your little boo-boo, too. It reminds me of a setting sun!

Me and My Stitches said...

Oh my...it is obvious already that your Jubilee is going to be awesome! Can't wait to see more.

Gwen, The Vintage Seamstress said...

Your work is absolutely beautiful. I have never pieced by hand or used paper piecing. Hope to some day. Your blog is a true inspirational blog for me!
Blessings!

Merilyn said...

Love those cute Drunkard Path blocks, so very vintage!!! Your other project looks interesting, love that poison green!!!

Janet said...

Those sharp slim points look wonderful!! I can't wait to see more. Have a great weekend!

Randy D. said...

The Jubilee quilt looks quite challenging! And the colors are awesome!! Beautiful work, as always. The little drunkard's path blocks are adorable!! I am especially partial to the "different" one!! My style!

Elizabeth said...

Your quilt projects are just great! Shouldn't have pointed the mistake out, I wouldn't have even noticed. I was too busy looking at all the great fabric you used. Have a fun weekend, but I thought this was only Wednesday....

Janet O. said...

The start for your jubilee quilt is pretty impressive, Lori. Don't know that it will fit the "humble quilt" category! Looks more like a "Wow" quilt!
Love the little circle blocks--even the "mistake". : )

The Civil War Quilter said...

I'm lovin' the Jubilee project! Poison green is my favorite. Can't wait to see the next installment. Have fun whatever your weekend plans are!

Rachaeldaisy said...

It looks fabulous!!! Are you making a Bullseye quilt? I adore your little drunkards path blocks, I can't quite believe how small they are.

Jantine said...

You certainly have been busy while I was away from blog land just being busy too ;-)!

Barb said...

thanks of the sneak peak at the Jubilee quilt. I can't wait to see what you are cooking up.
Love the DP blocks and the runt is my favorite :)

Lorraine said...

What is a Jubilee quilt?

Maureen said...

Can'lt wait to see the blocks for this red and green. Looks difficult to sew, but what a statement!
Your mistake may be the brightest block, but it took me a few seconds to find it! I'd keep it, too.

libbyquilter said...

oh, that bit of red and poison green does look exciting . . .
can't wait to see more.

your tiny humble drunkard's path block wasn't obvious to me at first glance. i think it's good to have these blocks included in doll quilts. you see it in antique and vintage pieces and it's just more 'authentic' somehow if you leave them in.

enjoy your upcoming weekend.

Great start to the Jubilee!

The little Drunkard's Path is cute...like the the little odd ball too. ;)

Dawn said...

Fun projects!
The arcs look daunting - did you paper piece?

Vivian said...

The beginning of your Jubilee Quilt is striking. I'm not surprised you chose red and green. That sounds like Lori of Humble Quilts.
Those little drunkard's path blocks are looking good, even that one in the top row. That's your humility block, right?

Martha said...

Your Jubilee project is so beautiful. I am completely intimated by paper piecing -- Seriously, is there anything you can't do?

It's so fun to see the little quilt taking shape, and it's looking really cute. It's such a busy little quilt that the "mistake" is not really that obvious, but if you do see it, it's pretty charming. I would definitely leave it in.

Library Gal Quilts said...

Love that green and red! Have a good weekend and hope to see more of that Jubilee soon.

Cyndi said...

Your Drunkard's Path blocks are just adorable! Love the perky 30's colors! Can't tell you how much I look forward to each evening's Handwork...most relaxing part of the day! Well, morning coffee with newspaper is good too!

Libby said...

Oh my gosh, your Jubilee quilt is going to be a stunner!
