Ditto. BR2 took me into the wee hours of the morning and when I checked it with the triangle ruler it was totally off. So I have to redo it also.
Another one that I worked on last night (E12) has to be redone. That center strip with all the tiny pieces was just too bulky with the paper and was totally off. I may not PP when I redo the center.
Other than those two, I am enjoying these tiny little blocks. I am determined, with Klues help to PP as much as possible.
It's looking like H4's center may need to be appliques, and also D3 looks like it is going to be a bit of an applique "pisser". LOL

the paper is actually called Neenah Paper UV/Ultra II 17 Weight in Radiant White.
the paper tears away with total ease and i like that you can see thru the paper.
here's a link so you can see how translucent the paper is

its much cheaper to buy it by the ream then it is to order it from the above link.

I've been considering names for my Baby Jane. I haven't settled on anything yet but I may go with 'Confetti Jane' since I'm doing a scrappy quilt and starting it at the beginning of the new year and a new decade. Hopefully it won't end up named "Confetti Jane Goes Bust." :lol: It is NOT going to end up a UFO! (I'll just keep chanting this as I sew.) :wink:
I'm in the process of cleaning up my quilt room. Geesh, what a job! :cry: I guess I need to do it more often. I've found several bags of scraps I'd forgotten about and they are now all in one spot. Some of them are gorgeous and I can't wait to use them. Still, it might take another couple of days to get everything cleaned up and put away properly. The one thing I realize is that I need more shelves and more plastic container boxes to hold everything in! Of course, if I finish a bunch of UFOs that will free up quite a bit of space. :oops:

this is a funny story - i made it for DH but put it in the show.
some one offered to buy it and i sold it.
this is the exact same quilt that i had to make again for DH to replace the one i sold.
i gave it to him last year for our anniversary and it hangs in his recording studio.
i'm working on another optical illusion for him that i sold out from underneath him too - he's very understanding about these things.

Klue - I am drooling over here for your Optical Illusion quilt!!!!! I cannot begin to tell you how badly I want to do one of these and have for about 10 years now. Do you have a pattern you buy or are you making them yourself? Darn, I'm so envious of your hubby right now!!! (Let me wipe the drool off my keyboard before it floats away.)
The more I think about it the more I like "Confetti Jane." I'm sure I'll think of other names that I can't repeat here before I'm done with it but that's the name that will go on the label.
My local group is going to run about a month behind this one. That will give me plenty of time to do up all the blocks and discover any problems I have so that I can pass along what NOT to do when my friends attempt theirs.
I may print your illusion quilt out to hang on my design board for inspiration! (Still drooling!)
