I have a slew of blocks to photograph and post. I forgot to yesterday but will get on it as soon as the sun is up. the colors wash out if I use the flash to take them

and they are so pretty and colorful you will have to wait. I am very happy with all that blocks that are FLYING BACK home in both my swaps. I think I can see little quilts coming out of them with no troubles what so ever.
I have never made that cornucopia block but have worked on MANY from quilters cache that make me want to tear my hair out. I have decided for swaps to use the ones I Know I can do. There is so little fabric to play with that errors of grand magnitudes are not an option. Ask Jan. I can mess up instructions in two easy cuts.

She was good enough to help me with a couple blocks the other day and I watched in awe as she did the.. string sewing. a block three stitches in the air, a block, three stitches in the air then she magically sewed those darned rows together. NO wonder I take all day to get three blocks out and am exhausted and she just sits there and wham wham wham.. I need a short cut class that is what I need. how to do this painlessly. lol (is there such a thing?). so your grand tips please feel free to send them my way. I can use all the help I can get! ps I am still not a stripes person lol I need the few years I have left!
