I did it, I got my block done before Thanksgiving. I still haven't decided exactly how I am going to put this together, but the way I was thinking of doing it, I'd need 4 half blocks, but still have to wait to see which blocks extra I'll make.
I do hope everyone posts the pictures of at least the finished top when we are all done. Everyone's blocks look so nice and I'm excited about see all the finished ones.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Don't eat to much.

Alrighty! Here's my Loosey Goosey block. As you can see, I was asleep during the cutting instructions and put in a light blue where the white background should have been used. Never even noticed the error until I was well into sewing the block. I decided to go ahead and finish the block, chalking the error up to "another variation of Loosey Goosey." I'm intending to use my blocks in a queen size quilt for myself so I'll need plenty of blocks and this one will just add to the final tally. I'm going to repeat the block with the correct colors.

Looks good to me! Looks like you planned it that way, it is a nice block.

Hello Ladies! I'm back Everyone's blocks are looking fantastic!!!
As I told you before, I'm skipping some of the blocks (Diamonds all around and Loosey Goosey so far) as I'm making place mats and I only need 6. So I'm picking and choosing.
With my color scheme there was no way I was going to skip Tiger Stripes!!!
But I did take some artistic liberty with it and flipped half of the blocks to make the design meet on the edges.
And a funny story I need to share. First a question ... how many sides are in a hexagon?? Well apparently the answer is NOT 8. Yes indeed ... I made 8 tiger triangles so I've got two left. Sadly, I ran out of the gold fabric
Here's my Tiger ... and another shot with the rest of the gang.

Very pretty blocks ladies. Haven't seen one I don't like. Are we doing two blocks in December or waiting until January. It'll be a long wait to January. But December is a busy month. And maybe I can get some of my UFO's done. Hope you all had a Blessed Thanksgiving!
