Hope I see some wonderful blocks again this week. Everyone has been posting some beautiful blocks that will look neat in their quilts.

Working ahead a bit slowly; put one block together today, and cut out another one...spring is here, although we may get another snow or two.

Have planted Yukon Gold potatoes; have the garden fenced now, so the chickens cannot dine in the garden.

I really don't understand the thinking behind the "Postage Stamp Block". It is like a "Sudoku" puzzle. Anyone know the history of this block?

I didn't like the Postage Stamp block at all. I just finished block #92 so I have really been working ahead. Not many left to do. Everyone's blocks are so pretty, I like all of them. It will really be a showcase when they are all completed. Thank's everyone for the comments on mine. My DH was in the hospital because of medicine complications and was in there longer because his heart has been in A-fib several times this year. It's out right now so donn't know what to think, the doctor said it's not life threatening, but it is quite annoying though.

I can't say I don't like the Postage Stamp block because I'm working on a Postage Stamp quilt! Yeah, lots of small squares but I'm having fun with it. :wink:

Hi, Is there a placement chart for the blocks? or are we on our own for this? Anne

Oh, please say we're on our own! Not all my blocks will look good next to another so I'll have to play with them and place them to their best advantage, whatever that turns out to be. :)

Under Quilt Assembly starting on page 240 there is only instructions on how to assemble the quilt - no placement chart. I have assembled my lap size quilt with my Christmas fabric and am getting the rows assembled. Will post when I get my flimsy done. Do we want to start another page for the flimsy's and final quilts? Any thoughts on that anyone?
