Sorry to hear about your photo/computer problems Jup.
Nancy I agree with Jup - this quilt is basic foundation blocks and then a lot of cutting and glueing.
I have been removing my templates before sewing the pieces on as I didn't want to bother with the soak and remove part. That cuts out a lot of mucking around for me.

Jim came over and was able to get the photo chip out of the wrong port by using a 'spork' from Taco Bell! Modern technology at its finest...
So, here are my 5 blocks.
hugs, Jup

Currently posting Jup, Obsessed, Irene V and myself, but I think keelybird, mtngrl and quilts4fun may still be working on them although they haven't posted since May.
Hope I haven't missed anyone.
