There's always one over-achiever - LOL! I haven't even started August yet. Very cute. Are other people thinking of adding the embellishments once quilted, or as you make the blocks? It seems to me it might be harder to add once quilted, but it makes sense that it wouldn't get caught up while quilting. --Amy

Here's my September stroll block. I am going to square up all the blocks at the end. I added about an inch to the pieced backgrounds and am glad I did so I have more room for squaring up. The tire swing is the letter "O" cut out from the ABC fabric used for door and chimney. Still need to put on the rope for tire swing and sew on the buttons. I found the school buttons in NYC, thought they were great, especially the pencil doorknob! --Amy

Those are way too cute!!! Can't wait to see everyone else's!! HINT HINT

really cute fabrics, both houses are adorable Rene

Amy, the blackboard fabric is perfect. I found a snoopy playing soccer that I think I will add to mine.

Beverly, isn't it interesting how these blocks come about and you realize you need something else and then magically find it!

Weren't there some other strollers who had already made August, September blocks last year and plan to jump in this year? Why not post those in the August/September threads for those of us who didn't see them the first time? --Amy

I think there were some more. I do hope they jump back in with some pics. I think I will start on October this week.

Amy, I was one of those that started last year and this was the last one I did. Rebecca

Very cute Rebecca! Will you be starting fresh in October, or do you have other months completed? --Amy

Okay, Rebecca, I was obviously still half asleep when I responded to your email! Glad you'll be joining us for October! --Amy

OK...I think there is a conspiracy against me to get my UFOs/WIPs done. I keep adding NEW projects to my list.

My "excuse" for this one is that I love to applique...& I have an outragious amount of scraps that are begging to be used.

I will machine applique this later...maybe after I have a few blocks done. I might have to redo my sun. I don't really like it. Maybe it's too orange/gold?

Dee, I love the little girl swinging! And you had apple tree fabric? You've got a really great eye for this! --Amy

I've had this strange (but cute) apple market Amish scene fabric for quite some time. Did you notice the guy in the tree?

I noticed the guy. I thought you put him there, did he come with the fabric? That is odd, but you put it to good use :-)

Can I post my October block???? I finished it several weeks ago, but didn't want to post until october. :)

Never mind! I found the October thread already started!

I wish you could delete your own posts!!!
