Here is a preview of upcoming themes so you can plan accordingly:

March - Patriotic - red/white/blue - - - - decided, after receiving some sage advice, to schedule this far enough ahead so we would potentially have our quilts in time for the 4th of July!

April - Civil War reproduction - - - any color paired w/ light shirting fabrics
May - Asian theme
June - Chocolate covered Cherries - - - what, you ask??? Browns and pinks.

UGH!!!!! the sets are all messed up, not sure if it is the pressing with steam and fabric shrunk or what. it is off by as much as 1/8 inch. so having to remake 2 sets. I have the other 3 sets cut apart, ready for the chain piecing. I always use steam when pressing, I think I am going to turn the steam off for the remaining ones I need to make and see what happens.

createfourpaws -if you cut your starting squares at 5" you need to use a "scant" 1/4" seam to make these come out right.

I have found that if I cut my starting blocks at 5 1/4" then when I am finished sewing and pressing (with steam) I can trim up to square. I have not mastered the "scant" 1/4" seam so the above works for me.
