Sorry it's Bitty Blocks. They are at Quiltmaker.com-on the Quilty Pleasure blog. Scroll down and you will find Jan. and Feb. blocks . Jan. was bowtie Feb is basket. When I found it there was a clickable Bitty Block page, but this morning I had to search the blog
Thanks, will go check this out. I went back to the original writing and see you put both bitty and biddy, so I just picked the wrong one, lol.

Got lots more of the dark--it was the light fabrics I was using up--plenty more of some of them, too!

Thanks--reds are my favorite, so I decided to do this one for me! I love the swirls--I have several colors of it.

You can bet I clean in front of me well before I take the next step. Running naked, a horror, but funny too. I don't get on the roof, I use a long handled roof rake and a step ladder for some of it. That is funny too as I don't like getting too high off the ground. So all in all, entertaining, a workout, and about all the words you can find to say quietly as you do it. Going to travel along this one, watch the progress, send stuff to sample along the way, I love having guinea pigs to try new recipes on and just enjoy the ride.
AnngelAnne I enjoyed reading your trials and tribulations of snow, I had images of you doing all of it and then beginning a yearly Quilter's Naked Snow Run, where all we could wear was our warmest quilt we had made that year.

Love the aqua and white, i'm doing it for my bedroom now. I also love the red and white, reminds me of the antique red and white quilts and redwork quilts. beautiful and crisp. love them all, the purple is great too. I was going to do it in royal and white, but now I think I need more for the border.

the red swirlys with the tone on tones is going to be beautiful.

Sry, Lynnie, but Sadie is right, a FQ is not enough. If you had 5 FQs ... If you use a combo of darks I don't think you will be as happy with the result, but if you don't want to buy anything, you can try it.

jaba, yes, you can easily make this any size you want, casn make it as long you want, it can be done. Sorry I'm not more help, since this is such a short mystery, I don't want to give much away. See if you can make triple the numbers we are calling for and see what happens, and then you could add more if needed.

Just finished two great days of classes with Pat Sloan. I'm hoping the train stops by here tomorrow or Monday so I can jump on and share the oranges and grapefruit that didn't freeze. BTW, we broke a 100 year old record here...with 23 degrees! WOO HOO! See you all soon.
