If they make something on their own - please tell us how you got them to do it!

Check out Phillips Fiber Arts - it is a free pattern from them. http://phillipsfiberart.danemcoweb.c...gree-freebies/

It's a beautiful block and your colors are superb. Um, just wondering why you didn't applique it to a square background and save yourself the hassle of setting the corner curves?

Wish I had though of that TrenbeathRanch! I just went with the corner pattern they supplied - which needed to be adjusted I might add.

Can't wait to see what everyone adds to Gena's center. I will be the last one so it should be quite the masterpiece by the time it gets to me.

Just got back from my month long vacation in our RV and received tam moo's center. It's so pretty! I'm looking forward to finding some fabrics in my collection of fabrics (aka fabric stash) to coordinate. I have an idea of the border I may add, but won't decide until I have some time to work on it. Still have laundry to finish and cleaning of the motorhome that's necessary before I can play-darn. I'd much rather dive into sewing!!
