Thanks. Back when my mom first showed me how to sew, she had me doing a bunch of embroidery things on her machine (since I didn't have any fabric and she didn't want me using up all hers) and she gave me a bunch of her scraps and showed me how to crazy patch the blocks.

When I finished the blocks, I actually went out and chose that blue border/sashing to finish it.

But, that was a teaching project that my mom supplied me with to get me working on the sewing machines. I can't believe she let me sit there with that fancy embroidery machine and make all those blocks. She wouldn't let me do it unless she was supervising.

:lol:

And I gave that to a colleague who retired and moved out of state as a housewarming gift for her new home. I had decided to make another one, but changed my mind and now I'm going to do other things with the blocks.
