    Retired...great looking block! I am sure you can get the other one done in five days if that one only took you one!

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]581261[/ATTACH] Here's a pic of my Goshen Star. Color is actually red with mice and a neutral print for the background.

    This is my bonus block for this month. It takes every bit of 15 minutes to cut and make it. I like it, Just Jan. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    Chasezzz: Thanks!

    Petuniaflowers: Pretty block and cute mice!

    Libster: I like your color combinations!

    Here is my The Stanley block:

    Connie

    It looks brighter in person and shows more contrast in person. .

    Such pretty blocks everyone. I love them all

    My blocks are in the brain thinking stage. I will make at least one later this week. Hopefully I will be able to post pics. Having issues sending pics from my i-pad after I updated my apps last week. Or it could have to do with the new i-phone 8 coming out. I hear if we update our devices, the older devices will use up battery time faster. This usually last until apple makes changes.

    We are Florida bound in the morning so my next blocks will be made from there. Will check in again when I get internet re-connected.

    I decided to zigzag with black thread around my 'The Stanley' block pieces because I liked my block but it needed something to break up the colors that were too similar. I used Tear-A-Way stabilizer to keep the block the correct size while I zigzagged. I am so glad I am doing a BOW with my LQS because I have had lots of practice appliquing so that's why I thought of using a simple decorative stitch. .

    Connie

    You may need to make it bigger to see the zigzags.

    Wow! It's amazing how that black zigzag stitching makes the components of your block separate and POP! I'm going to have to remember this one for later use when needed. Thanks for sharing this tip.

    Connie and Petunia, both of your blocks are beautiful but the fabric made such a difference in their appearance I had to check to make sure it was the same pattern. I hope to make mine tomorrow. I have been having major computer ever since I upgraded to Windows 10. If you haven't already upgraded; DON'T. It is like a virus that takes over your computer and changes everything. We are having heavy rain today and I feel for the people with heavy roof damage. I have gotten a lot of hand quilting done this week if nothing else.
