Welcome to the QB Pimperella! Thanks for the compliments You will find so many wonderful and helpful people here on the QB. I found it just 4 years ago myself. I can tell you that my piecing skills have improved with the help of many people from this forum and by joining in several swaps.
Don't be afraid to ask questions and jump in on a swap that intersts you.

I do a lot of Book and Internet learning as I tend not to get out much (and nearest quilting group is sadly far too far to get to when you rely on public transport) but they have served me well from my sofa lol
However, I do tend to have a lot of trouble with colour and pattern choice so I know I will no doubt be begging for help in due course no doubt. Loving seeing how these are turning out, tho I will have to wait patiently now having seen them progress over the space of today hehe

Nexxus goal is to start on yours on Sunday.. its challenging me but isn't that what this game is all about? if you have a block you think might work that is NOT paper pieced let me know .. everyone please toss in your own kibitz advise also. I am open!

Brat - my mind is going toward using the green and black again in your round - then she could bind it with yellow. Maybe doing something "pointy" like flying geese and alternating the points.

ok going to admit it right here for the WORLD to see... gulp here it goes.
I SUCK AT FLYING GEESE! I lose points and they are not all the right size. I can try. I can try. It just is something I have yet to perfect. You seriously do not want me to make those Nexxus I am sorry. I also think a dark binding would frame it better personally but obviously no one will know til I get my rear in gear and sew a row. going to get dressed and pull it out right now. time to get moving on that.. fabric is there now to make magic lol.. oh crud where is my WAND???

That too guts Ms. Brat, and I am sure you are not alone.
I have trouble with center stones - you know the colorful blocks in the middle of the strips between blocks - I never seem to get those right.
I am sure you will come up with something for your round that we are all going to Oooh and Ahhh over.
