qltgrose, I would definitely make them smaller. This is my first king size quilt and I am wondering how I'm going to launder it, though I do have the quilting part figured out. I have the top pieced and it's just so huge, I'm trying to think of a back.
carriem, the weeks don't matter, I'd love to see what you have done when you get time to do them.

Hi Everyone
JanR and toverly your colours in your block a very refreshing, Thank you to everyone that offered to look for my fabric I was able to get hold of the Distributor in Australia for that fabric and he has given me a list of shop that he has supplied the fabric to latley and I rang on this morning and they are putting into post for me I am making sure I have enough got them to sen 1 mtr(lyn's one happy quilter again.) Now I might be able to constract on getting some other things done.
Barb inLouisiana If you are planing on doing the full 50 block with the same back ground get 2-3 yards extra.
I got 7 mtrs (is what someone worked out form me) the first time and then got 2 more (should have brought the end off the roll) and still need 1/2mtr extra, I am doing 12" blocks.
Here is my Ohio block and the August Blocks

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I posted because I got "distracted" by other projects. All of your blocks are so beautiful. The finished quilts are going to be fabulous!
Here's my Ohio.

Hi Barb, I know what you mean about dark or light background. I went with light just because my house is light. A dark quilt would have been too dark for my bedroom. But then I didn't realize it would be kingsize. Silly me. Lyn Hut, I'm so glad you found your fabric. Love those blocks. I like how you decided to make the Ohio star a more solid star, it looks completely different to me. Podunk Princess, what a great blue you have for the star. I like how it pulls the blue from the background batik. Have a great day everyone!

DpttyD, beautiful purples, Oh, wow! You are right in step with all the beautiful blocks shared with all here...maybe a step ahead of me...more than one, because I 'tabled' all stars in April, but still stop by and admire the beautiful work. Love it! Well done.

Good Morning Everyone! Hope y'all had a good weekend. It was beautiful here but stifling hot and humid. Worked great for the batting wrinkles but that was about it. Here is my Oklahoma. [ATTACH=CONFIG]490759[/ATTACH]
