Here is today's JL block. The floral in this one is the Western Washington Shop Hop 2011 design from In the Beginning. I really like this fabric, too. Each time I grab a floral from the stack, it seems to become my new favorite. I have 12 blocks done now, so I decided I needed to put them on the design wall and see how it looks.
I am so excited with the secondary pattern that is emerging. The background fabric is working so well. I see so many things in the pattern - big fat arrows, chains, Xs, and squares. I am 1/3 done with the blocks I need for the size I want. I am so happy Freda decided to host this QAL. Stop over and see what else she is doing these days.
Today, I also decided to start a project I have been putting off because I was intimidated by the challenge. If you want to read more about the challenge, go here.

That is all for today. I did make more fabric for the BOMs, but decided I wanted to make enough for all the rest of the blocks before I cut into what I made. I didn't get any more blocks made for the Christmas quilt. Tom took me to my local chain fabric store to pick up batting. That was quite an interesting trip. I will write more about that tomorrow. Right now, the pizza is ready, and I am hungry.
Joyful quilting, everyone.

My goodness! Your JL looks SO COOL! I may have to make one too. Put it on my very long list.
Love that Jacob's Ladder! It is interesting how fabric choices affect the final look of a quilt - I have a Jacob's Ladder and it doesn't look that bold, more scrappy - the secondary designs are a little more muted. Very interesting!
We like your studio time too! Jacob's ladder is coming along lovely with the different florals and the background fabric is so good. I followed all your links for the palette challenge - how fascinating. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.
Wow...I love how the JL blocks look together. It is like looking through a trellis to see a magnificent garden. Can't wait to see the final quilt. Keep having fun with it.
Who knew "Aloe" would be such a perfect choice for your ladders? I am loving you JL blocks more and more... and I agree with Linda at Roscoe's Ma... it is like looking thru a trellis at a magnificent garden!
