Aurgh...I was one block is not like the others...I was so excited when I found a block all together in my stash. Now I remember why....it was one that I cut to big. I just noticed it when I took my picture. I am not removing it since I have no more of that material. I am trying to figure out what I can do to make it look like it belongs there...hubby says to sign it or add something to the block that says I made it.

I finally decided what to do with these blocks...I worked on another since I had a mind block...I decided to try sashing 1/1/2 inch I have it half done. So far I am liking it. I am hoping to make this a double bed size for my father who served in the war in Japan. He has been talking about his visit to Japan a lot lately, so I thought he may enjoy it.

I am going to make a disappearing 9 patch block using the 9 strip block method. I am playing around with the colors still...debating on if I should use three different colors or just these two. I will post pictures as I go along. You can also see my progress and instructions on
http://www.thriftyideastoday.com/ - this is the first time I am trying the strip method for the disappearing nine block so I hope it come out nice. I think I may do several different 9 blocks with other fabrics.
