Good morning to you too MonaLisa. Nice Nebraska. Here is my #26 Montana.

Florence, I had not noticed the circles in your focus fabric. So pretty, and great fussy cutting!

Good morning, All. Here is my Montana. It is good to be caught up! I am actually about 3 ahead so I can work on finishing my Houses quilt from last year.

Here is my design wall so far. As you can see, things are starting to overlap...

I love your colors

Wow, lots of fabulous fussy cut blocks this morning! They are all great. Not to say the others aren't great, too! Good job, everyone. I've 2 blocks to make today, hope I can catch up.

Thanks, Pam. Now that I am more experienced with these, I cut all the fabrics in advance for each block, and label the little stacks as Carol suggests. Then I go through the numbers for both sections. I glue on all the A & B #1 pieces, then sew on all the #2 pieces, all the #3 pieces, etc., assembly line style. It goes much faster this way!

Well Nicky, I am speechless. Your array of blocks are wonderful.

Wow! Montana seems to have brought out the best in everyone. Such great cutting, circles, jewelry, moons. I have to go back an look at them all again. I had trouble finding a focus in my fabrics but made do. Nicky, your stars are spectacular![ATTACH=CONFIG]344532[/ATTACH]

I know I've already had John Denver doing a song, but he sure loved those mountains. "Wild Montana Skies"
