Trying to figure out how to make a block when the person only sent me a 10 X 15 inch material. Not 11 X 18 or 9 X 22 but 10 X 15. I keep coming up short on all the patterns I have selected so I think that I will have to make up my own pattern so that I can make it fit. This one really has me stumped.

I had one that was small, too. I made it work, but had to do some "creative piecing". Maybe she was running low on fabric, and had to cut the F8s smaller. It worked out in the end, though. :)

Today's mail had this lovely block in it! It's from Navarre2011, and I love it! Thanks so much! :thumbup:

OOOOOOHHHHH I just love that material.

finished the block for urgodschild2---wanted to use some color like olive green,orange red, blue grey in it but she only wants white. but I found Bird of Paradise pattern and it worked beautifully. Posted pic in album on my profile.

VERY pretty Rose! I finished blocks for goldendog and traveling grandma. Will try to get out of driveway to get to mailbox tomorrow! Have 2 more here to finish then just waiting on the other 8 F8's..Heck if I get them Ill be done with this swap in March and wont have any other blocks to make until June? ughhhh thats not good! :)

Nothing in the mail today coming in. I mailed finished blocks to cuppy and country1. I'm out of F8's until I receive and that is for this group and 2 small ones.

babyfire04 lit up our mailbox today :)

Dang jaba...

I wish I had more time to sew but feel good to get 3 - 4 done in a whole week. Being down in my back / neck didn't help any either.

Linda, you be careful. As an orthopedic nurse of nearly 16 yrs, I have ssen too many patients who broke a hip trying to get out in wet weather.... we can wait for you mailings....your safety is a priority!!!!

received my first grown up block today from moonrise. what a fabulous block! Your fabric was a perfect choice with mine. Love the combination. I am glad I chose neutrals. Thank you. I will be going to small community quilt show this weekend, And the beach. It will be 85 this Saturday, 83 tomorrow.
