I added red to mine and it makes it pop I think. I was looking for a blue to match my focus fabric and wouldnt you know out of a dozen or more "blues" not a single one matched the blue in the focus?? UGH...I agree with Janice..I wish connecting threads would bring this pattern back in any of the colors they had!!

Joan this is really pretty that ted is awesome with it. I also agree I wish this fabric would come back it's pretty in all the color combination.

Okay everyone - I just gotta laugh about this... I ordered 10 padded envelopes thru USPS.com, thinking that's all I would need for a while. When the website said I had maxed out what could be ordered, I double-checked. Yep, only 10 in the cart. Today this large box is delivered and I'm wondering Wha-a-at?!? Turns out I was shipped at least a 100 of bubble wrap Priority Mail envelopes! LOL! Guess I will share the wealth and restock my local post office.

hahahahaha thats pretty funny I wonder if this automatically registers you for the next 50 booms. :D

LOL, Billi! :D

Janice, glad to know my package got to you without bursting at the seams! It was stuffed so tight.

I did the the same thing the lst time I ordered!! I didn't get 100 but got 20 because I just asked for 2. The next time I "noticed" the little note at the top that says they come in 10 each packages! lol I cant imagine getting 100! But hey Billis right...you must sign up for the next 80 booms!! How funny

Sewbizgirl, you couldn't have fit one more thread in your package, much less another f8. It was a wonder to behold. And it was a wonder it didn't simply explode when I opened it. You're the Packing Queen!

Bite your collective tongues, boomers! I'll be retired (and now obviously hiding out from all of you crazy people) in the New Mexico desert long before we get to 20 more.

I made myself a block this afternoon. I have no idea what the name of this block is. Anybody know?

Kassaundra 01-10-2017 02:16 PM

Beautiful libster, I don't know the name, but there was a recent thread asking about that block, maybe the poster got an answer.

Kassaundra 01-10-2017 02:21 PM

Well I found the thread but no one posting on it knew the name. http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...k-t285078.html

Thanks, Kass. That's where I first saw this. Nobody there knew what the name of it was either. It looks simple, but it's a pain in the rear to make. Too many thick seams for me.

Really pretty block. I saw it on the other thread too. It looks like a simple 9 patch layout. Why not call it a winding ribbon 9 patch until someone can discover the original name?

Pretty block, Libster. I love that quilt that Kass linked to. Maybe the actual block doesn't have a name. Sometimes only the quilt has a name with the more modern patterns.
