Get Out Your Sunglasses!!!!

~WARNING ~
The tablerunner you are about to view could be blinding.Viewer discretion and sunglasses are advised!





Please excuse the crookedness(if that's a word) of these photos. I really need to get Tracey Holzer to start taking my pics as hers are always amazing.
Well, I finished my NYB quiltalong with Sew Sweetness.com. I realize that it is only on Week 3.  Once I got started, it was addicting and before I knew it I was ready to quilt it!!




My sewing machine was not co-operating so it did not quilt as nice as I had hoped for but these things happen. Life.....

The possibilities are endless. If you make four of each block, it creates a totally new look. I would recommend this Quiltalong, as the blocks were easy and unique. If you go to http://www.flickr.com/ and look up New York Beauty, you will see amazing renditions of the same blocks. To see Tracey Holzer's NYB in progress, go to http://www.theblockpartyguild.blogspot.com/

I love her combination of blacks and brights!!
