I am about a year behind, but would love to join the group. I have a few blocks finished, but I am having trouble with "y"seams. I will continue on. I have only read about 20 pages of the posts, and have written down the numbers for the different weeks and will begin. As I read more posts, I may start with your most recent weeks and work backwards. I have been admiring all the pictures of the completed blocks.

Like 8 blocks for Sylvia, 5 Fab Stars, 10 Dear Jane, and 3 SYE, and 50 54-40 star blocks and 49 snowball blocks for TW. And there's housework to do as we are having company coming in for a week on Monday. I have earned my pilot's license this week, piling things here and moving it there. In time it will happen. Meanwhile, I will enjoy seeing everyone block's posted here and enjoy our warm weather and sunshine. I wish you all the best of the best.

Welcome Sophie2 
You can do it, just ask if you're having problems with a block. Sometimes a block can be redrawn to avoid the Y seams. I can make a tutorial with pictures on Y seams if you would like that.

Wow...what a lot of pieces! Did you work on yours again?

On Block H7 can someone please check their directions for me. My version says to cut 4 squares at 2 7/8" from the green and cut in half diagonally once to make 8 green triangles. They have turned out to be too large. I think there may be a correction to the block in the newer printing of the directions. Thanks!
