Beautiful Teen! It's going to be a stunning quilt 
Yes, that's the one, Robbing Peter to pay Paul.......who did come up with that name? I kept the block and it's in the quilt but I never liked it.

I'll agree that some of these blocks have no business being 6"!
Love how yours are turning out Teen, love the pop of yellow that shows up periodically. Mine's had to go to the back burner for a while. I agreed to make a quilt to hang at work and that gets priority for a while.

I had a very productive weekend in my quilting area and managed to turn some out. Teen, I love your New Mexico block - I can see it will be a challenge and will hold off on that one for awhile. These are probably the only ones I'll get to this week, as I am watching my grandkids this week while their parents are out of town and will spend my time engrossed in them - and wouldn't have it any other way. We're making great progress, ladies!

Wow, Donna! You really created some beautiful blocks. I absolutely love all your fabrics. The black contrasting on that first one is gorgeous!!! Your paper-piecing is fantastic! I'm really liking the scrappy look of your colorway. You will probably have no problem on the New Mexico block, Donna. Some blocks are just not as friendly to me while others have no issues with them. I found a "back-up" block to use in its replacement from the Farmer's Wife Sampler I'll probably make. Have fun with the grandbabies.
I'm going to be working on finishing up all the applique blocks today. Designed some borders for this project this weekend and will also, begin working on those appliqués. Need to get a bit of packing done since I try doing a little bit everyday so it's not so overwhelming when we have a move date.
Macybaby... Things come up and shift priorities....you are determined and will no doubt get back to this. I'll look forward to seeing your finished top. So far, it's gorgeous as is your 365. I will need to work on a QOV soon so I'll lose a week working on SBS.
Thank you for the lovely comments....

Everyone's blocks are gorgeous. I can't believe how quickly you are making them. I made 20 Farmers Wife blocks in one month and thought I was doing great, great in my group though. 20 blocks in one month, that is not even a block a day. Love looking at your blocks everyday.

Teen, I love your applique, especially the first one with the pop of yellow and the black polka dots. Your quilt is going to be stunning. I managed to squeeze in 2 quickie blocks before the gang gets here.

Teen- you mentioned doing your applique by machine with invisible thread. Are you doing that with these?
I would love to see a close up of how the stitching looks, if you are willing to share.
Donna - more wonderful blocks! They are addicting!
