The last round was my first & a picked the block "Friday the 13th." I picked it because it was pretty, but, it was a beast ! ! ! ! I didn't read the directions. I just printed them off & shipped them. That block had partials seams & not very "seam" friendly. Thank goodness, these ladies were gracious enough not to yell at me & ban me from the Quilt Board. At the end of the day, I received a few completed blocks and, the block was scrapped & I accepted blocks that the Swappers chose to do.

Hey Friend . . . . Don't do what I did. . . .JC . . . whatever you do. . . . , read the construction instructions . . . . just because it's cute - doesn't make it fun to put together.

I picked Brasstown Star from Quilters Cache. It is really easy but has a big WOW factor. I have my fabric, I just need to wash it and cut it up. I guarantee everyone has the matching fabric in their stash already!

That was supposed to end with "24 of the 28 12.5" blocks taken care of" but I got interrupted and the iPad decided what I was trying to say (and got it wrong).
Also, because I am a control freak (and acknowledge it) I'm going to send both fabrics. I feel like I've worked with you ladies enough in the past that you've come to accept (and possibly expect) this quirk.

GP ...I so remember this block....my version should have been named the "Disappearing Block" . The more I tried to correct it ...the smaller it became. I finally decided that sleep was the only cure for my confusion". You were great about it! Thanks for the patience and understanding. I will do better by you this time!
