Thanks so much for the kind words. My maternal Grandmother had breast cancer. My mom struggles with issues and as recently as a few weeks ago was fighting with her breast docs....no cancer as yet, but really in a "ticking time bomb" situation there. I am lumpy (fibrocystic) so go every year since my mid 20s......that said I try to participate in the Susan G Komen stuff when it comes around.....
to answer the questions:
MGSHAW & BZang
I think I like that wonderCut....it was easy to understand and it made the work go by really fast. You could see a result, making it easier to keep going.. Using fat quarters a strip got me 6 HST. Using an actual 1/4 yard cut I got 13 HST. A strip goes together and cuts REALLY FAST.
Now, being a newbie may make it easier for me to adapt to a tool that does it differently.Since I'm not locked into the hold stand by way of doing it...... Not sure, but also being a newbie I think that
BARBSBUS
comment about nailing the points goes to show that the wondercut was kind of "fool proof" and thank you BARBSBUS!! I really think that the ruler makes them all exactly the same and then it was just up to me to use accurate seam allowances.....
TIGERBABY & LADYBUG
I think they plan to sell raffle tix starting in August, we are having a fund raiser yard sale/hot dog sale then and it will be the start of when the members see the quilt. They say they are planning to sell them for just $1 each. We are a Credit Union in a lower income/industrial part of town so $1 is more the norm here.

That is just how they turned out when I laid them on my design floor LOL (no wall yet)....I am sure that the 4 big/dark blocks in the middle are some known pattern, I just have no idea what it is......then I had planned to just do random for the rest but my mind can't do random, and I ended up with those braid looking borders. I am sure they have a name too, I just don't know it either. So I guess, no, it is not a pattern. It just came out of my head that way.
again, thanks for looking and the nice comments. You guys are all so great and supportive of each other here and I really appreciate the atmosphere!!
