and use that template for the blades. The ruler does 20 blocks, this swap is using 16 blades. SharonB - one of our Moderators in this swap did the 20 blades, and she was frustrated beyond belief....but she figured it out and her blocks are just great! I think the link to the page is at the beginning of this thread. Again, thanks for joining....sure is appreciated!

I ended up with a plexiglass template also. The template from the site just seemed off a little to me. And the second set just went together like a breeze--at least compared to the first, although a few centers had to be redone. Now I feel confident enough to take apart the 1930's blocks I inherited, recut the blades where needed, and put them back together to lie flat. Deb, how are we doing? I'm tired of flakes, but might have a poinsettia in me.

I made my first practice block and also used my handy dresden ruler and thought yippie I can use my new tool!!! I bought it years ago....hum ..... I made a georgous 20 point snowflake lol....not to worry I can add it to my practice block quilt and my 16 point snowflakes are looking just as pretty )

Deb did my flakes and pointsettias arive yet? I hope so. Other things that were send the same day to other deistinations did. If they did please elt me know. That was one bock full or work. So I'd feel better to know they are visiting your house.

And I received flakes from LindaK! Nice thing about these flakes is that I don't have to shovel. Oh, and Patrice was able to find and copy the original roster for this swap, and she is sending me the names. I WILL be contacting them!
