I haven't had time to complete anymore blocks on my DJ but I finally found an Omnigrid 6" x 6" for my 5 1/2" blocks. I finally located it on Amazon.com and it was only $4.97. I had looked in my local QS and several out of town places but the grids were all 6 1/2". I'm making mine a trip around the world but I am not using just 1 line of fabric. I have so many pieces of fabric; I'm trying to use as much of my stash as possible. I aim to do each block in a different fabric but if I have to make 2 or 3 blocks out of the same fabric, I'll just scatter them throughout my quilt. I finished piecing my DGGD's quilt and I have all the strips cut out, pieced and pressed for my DGD's wedding quilt. I start cutting the 259 squares tomorrow. My goal is to have it pieced by the end of this month. That will be a push because we are going camping for 5 days next week. We took our boat out today and if anyone had a video camera I'm sure we would be on America's funniest home videos. Our boat has been in the shop twice this month to have the motor repaired. We got about 300 yards from shore and the motor died. We had to use the oars to get back into the dock and both my husband and I fell into the water. I laughed so hard because this was suppose to be our fun day. A reward for all of the hard work we have been doing around the house.
