I think BRT's is on Marcia's website too.

Have Fun!!

Pumela, finished a block, turned out better than I'd hoped.Will be posting it off to you tomorrow. Should take about a week to 10 days to get to you.

I have that problem all the time. Often it comes out 12", not 12 1/2 like it says. Anyone have any suggestions. Is my sewing machine's 1/4 in wrong.

Beautifully done.

You should check how much your 1/4" foot is measuring. My 1/4" foot is way off and I have to change the needle position 1.5mm to the right for it to be a scant 1/4"

Oh, and press well.

If you are pp'ing you are suppose to add your 1/4 in seam allowance as your trimming it.

I got my orange block from JRSAY today! Woohoo! (Actually, I may have gotten it a few days ago but I've been bad at checking the mail. Box was stuffed!) Thanks hun, love the lovebirds.

Here're pix of what she made me and what I sent her way, too.

orange for me

yellow and black for her

Nice blocks - the black/yellow sure pops.

Quilting Nonnie got your block today in the mail. I love it!! It is called Souvenir. the purple and yellow complement each other and make the asters pop. It will go perfect with my other blocks for my garden quilt. Thank you sooooooo much Terri my August Friend. Andrea

I want to join the fun!
