your blocks are looking nice ladies. they are just beautiful. finally got my binding sewn on the scallops. now i am hand hemming it. took me several weeks of practicing, reading, and trying, before i could make it work for me. i was not happy with the points, the corners, the width of the binding and everything. janstar's tutoring finally worked. thx. and i just finally decided 'better done than perfect.' i decided to make my corners like she did. have to quilt the scallops next. hang in there ladies, wish i could join you, but need to finish up started projects.
