I finally got my fabric back from a bee member who dropped out and stopped communicating with us, so I am able to start thinking about finishing this quilt. Do you remember, this was my block (March) for the Modern Tradition bee? I asked everyone to make this block, but to use their imagination in block construction, as long as it kept these general dimensions. It's worth going back to this post to see some of the amazing things that these talented women came up with. Now that all the blocks are in, I'm ready to make my last six blocks to bring this to a 70" x 84" quilt. Well, make that five blocks, after this one. Can you see that every red square is a HST?
Auf wiedersehn for now, friends! I have my camera and will post some travel photos, G-d and the internet permitting!

Ha! Every square is an HST. How... topical. Looks great!
So pretty! I enjoyed seeing all the others as well. That's going to be a gorgeous quilt!
Lovely block!
HST's! How incredibly clever. I luv it! Have a great trip.
Safe journey Lesly. Shame you're not coming to the UK but maybe one day and then we could meet up. Who knows?!
This block is lovely. I definitely think that you should set them on point in the final layout.
Hopefully you can let us know when you have arrived safe and sound in Berlin!
Safe travels and have fun in Berlin! As for translations: google is great, but sometimes double meaning of words will mess up any translation.
So try:
Gibt es hier einen Stoffladen? (Is there a fabric store?)
Wo kann ich Stoffe kaufen? (Where can I buy fabrics?
cotton = Baumwolle; therefore cotton fabric = Baumwollstoff... We just love putting words together :)
Just be warned: Stoff is terribly expensive - and most of them come from US fabric companies anyways (and you will pay the store owners' oversea shipping).
You may want to look for traditional fabrics (to make special garments), but I have no idea what Berlin has to offer there. Every region is different.
Enjoy!
Very pretty block! Have a fabulous time in Berlin!
It's gorgeous!!! Love the colours and the hst's!!
