Here's my blocks

I love seeing everyones blocks! I even see some fabric I recognize from my stash.

Is anyone thinking about redrafting some blocks? Some have that little border around the edge, and I'm contemplating sizing things up enough to eliminate it. For example BR1, it would be easy to extend the interior seams to the edge. But on the other hand that little strip eliminates exterior bias. Thoughts?

Is anyone here using different fabric for each block? Bettia On a related note, I've collected more than 50 pieces of Kaffe fabric and I shudder to think what I've spent on this quilt so far - fabric, software, rulers, freezer paper, Aurifil thread, etc. I even bought a new iron. I'm just ignoring the cost. In for a penny, in for a pound on this project. |

These type of situations make me want to hold onto our older computers forever. I want to be sure my favorite programs are still usable, including DJ and Quilted Diamonds. I wonder if these will ever be updated to a newer platform? |

Here are my week 2's blocks. It is so nice to be caught up on two of my projects since I am so far behind on others ;)

I'm doing an Around the World color pattern too and all my main colors will be different in each block. I'll reuse background though but not many times per print. I have all my fabs color cordinated in a big container and as I use one I move it to a new container. It's working for me :) Bettia |

So the blocks look different even if they are out of the same chunk of fabric. That way it doesn't look like I have any repeats. Oof, that was one of the most confusing sentences I've ever written! I hope it makes sense.

I may have to have "the geek squad" come out. I have only done week one so far. I am having to draw the patterns by hand. Bettia |
Is there anyone doing their jane like the original that would like to swap fabric? Please PM me.
