First block down. There was much ripping out involved, but it was fun nonetheless. I have the hang of it now, and have the next block cut out and ready to sew. Seems to take me as long to cut it out as it does to sew it. This will be my first attempt at adding a photo to a post, so I hope it works.

Well I don't feel so bad now! I thought there was something wrong with me! I jump around too, working on sewing or quilting then switching to knitting or crochet or something else. I cross stitch also but not as much as I used to. There just isn't enough time to do all the things I want to!
Right now I am knitting a wrap for my youngest, crocheting a baby blanket, piecing another baby blanket. I have copied the first four NYB blocks and they are sitting there waiting for me to get to them. I *think* I will get to them today. I plan to use batik in them. I have a good size collection and I guess it is time to use some of them.
I guess it's time to learn how to send a picture now.
Have a great day all!

Here are my first blocks. I decided on batiks and stocked up a few weeks ago. Never realized there were so many batiks. Let's just say I've got the big box of crayons. I'm enjoying pping the blocks. This is my first attempt. There were quite a few rip outs... not having enough fabric to flip over... stitching on the wrong line. I think I have the hang of it now and have started on the next blocks.

I tried the second block (block 1) and it kicked my butt. Yep, I said it. It kicked my butt. I tried to post a pic but couldn't even manage that. Probably just as well. Will make more the the '0' block to regain some conficence then will re-visit the #1 block.
I discovered that my blocks squared up to 8" which will be 7 1/2" finished. Fine with me!!!
How is everyone else doing??
