Anael ... of course we would all delight in your taking pictures of the
SewGrands eating and sleeping!!! I bet your DDIL is BUSY with them ... and that will probably get BUSIER too!
About the Spikes ... good news!
No ... it's not that I have sewn any since my Topper.
As some (all?) of you know, I have been wanting to do the quilt in the same yellow as that Topper, though fearful that I have enough fabric. The other day, I sent an email to the QOTS people asking about the background fabric requirements. They responded with this info ...
Yellow background (corner triangles) - about 3 yards
White background (the hexie background) - about 2 yards
1/2 yard cuts of 6 - 10 different fabrics for the piecing
So being that my yellow would be their white ... and that I have 2 metres plus off cuts, I should be good to go for the background of the Spikes, when I get to them. And with them saying 3 yards for the corner triangles ... looks like there is something else going to happen when we get to the joining stage.
Yes, I am doing a happy dance!!!!!!
(and can stop my whining ... til I have to figure out the corner triangle fabric)
As for the Spike posting problems .... I haven't been following as you know and will catch up when I get ready to start stitching. Seeing your comments ... is it any different than the chattering we used to do in the different FWS/PC threads? Where we would get talking about a previous week's blocks in a later thread? ... or that we would talk in the instruction thread when it should have been in the photo thread? We just lived with it ... not much you can do, without the potential of ruffling feathers.
We all know that people ask questions without reading all of a thread. That's nothing special to just BOMs. One thought to avoid posts in
MiraBs instructions might be to ask
PatriceJ to lock the thread. The final comment in
MiraBs post could include the general direction to the appropriate thread and reminder to post in the right place.
Another thought .. has the confusion happened because of the two per month, with only one being bposted earlier in the month, then half way thru for the 2nd block??
Perhaps I really should not be commenting ... I am reading/hearing your frustrations, and thought maybe some outside perspective might be helpful!
OKSGlad ... oh thanks for sending that rain to us ..NOT!!!! My rain gauge overfloweth last night which means over 2". Some off and on today again, not much. Then it's supposed to be sunny and bright for the rest of the week. That would make for a nice Thanksgiving weekend here!
