Hello, like ctack2 the other day, I too am trying to locate an individual who was telling about her block design and then asking us to share with her our results. Well, I have checked my computer history and cannot find her. I also have been check marking the box at bottom of read stating I wanted to watch the posting but for some reason that never happened either. So, my next option is to share my photo here in hopes that the quilter will see it. My reason for wanting to share is that I learned a valuable lesson. One time I cut with one ruler and made two blocks. Liking what I saw (even though block seemed time consuming and with lots of bias to deal with), the next day I cut two more blocks but with a different ruler because the fabric and lines were more visible. Sure enough, check out my blocks--top two are larger than bottom two by approximately 1/4 inch. Now when I start a quilt, not only will I be writing down my stitch length, thread and which machine I am using but I will also be including which ruler I use. Because I have arthritis, I do not cut an entire project at one time; that would probably be the best but getting older delivers us another requirement. Just another lesson learned.
