Ramblin' Rows: JT2

Here are pictures of my blocks for Just Takes 2 Mystery Quilt

Set one ~ Jan 1, 2012
Six blocks in set 1:

JT2 ~ Set One

Hand appliquéd not so perfect circle ;0)

Block 1 ~ Indiana Puzzle

Adding a red print

Block 2 ~ Churn Dash

Decided to add Redwork, however, choosing a different motif
Redwork design is from Alex Anderson's Redwork Garden
This is California Poppy

Block 3 ~ Square in a Square

Two more Redwork designs from Alex's Redwork Garden
Morning Glory and Sweet Pea
Resized to fit these blocks. I stitched the redwork by machine

Block 4 ~ Blazed Trail Variation

Block 5 ~ Ohio Star

Hearts are hand appliquéd

Block 6

Set two ~ Jan 15, 2012
Five blocks in set 2:

Blocks 7 thru 11

Block 7 ~ Jacobs Ladder

Block 8 is foundation/paper pieced

Block 8 ~ Grandmother's choice

Block 9 ~ Old Maid's Puzzle

Block 10 the blades are paper pieced. Red 1/4 circle was hand appliquéd and then I added a feather stitch. The white background piece is machine stitched with curved piecing in place of appliqué.
This is a new photo... I added a second white feather stitch along the outer seam allowance of the fan. Suggested by Jemwork... thank you, I like it!

Block 10 ~ Grandmother's Fan

Block 11 is a combination of templates and rotary cut pieces
I "planted" flowers around the base of my house :0)

Block 11 ~ House

Note: My blocks are made from the same piece of solid red fabric. The color looks different in the photos depending on the lighting and flash.

Set three ~ Feb 1, 2012

Two blocks in set 3

Block 12 ~ Rocky Mountain Chain

Block 12 was a challenge to paper piece.

Block 13 ~ Flying Geese

I made the flying geese block but it came out 1/4 inch too short
Even at 100% my printer is not accurate or it's my browser
... back to the drawing board...

Set four ~ Feb. 15, 2012

I finished #14 Pinwheel was easy peasy with HST, #16 Pine Burr which was a challenge with Y seams (both pictured above) and
Five blocks in set 4:

Block 14 ~ Pinwheel, easy peasy with HST

Block 15 ~ The Basket

Block 16 ~Pine Burr
Pine Burr which was a challenge with Y seams

Block 17 ~ Broken Heart

I have a broken heart! Printed set four the first day. There were too many red pieces and not enough white for block 17. Later... with the corrections... I discovered the flying geese strips should have been reversed with white geese and red background. Oh well, I don't have enough red fabric so it stays!

Lots of folks are dropping out of this QAL and I am considering it too...

I decided to keep going on this Mystery QAL until I run out of my red fabric. I do love the crispness of the red and white as well as the challenge of these blocks. Each one is very different, both in appearance as well as construction techniques. One of the new blocks posted for set 6 is no exception! Lots of curved seams and it may need to be hand pieced!

#18 Turkey Tracks (below) was fun! I used the same technique as the four hearts block to prep for appliqué. In place of hand stitching, I machine stitched a blanket stitch
