QuiltingNinaSue, the red,white, blue theme is going to be terrific. Love your block. Thanks everyone for the kudos on my block, as y'all can tell, I'm a brights gal. Just spent the morning cutting blocks for the next 6 weeks. I love having the book and the cd. I have a few sew days with friends coming up and always have a hard time finding a project in just the right stage to work on for a few hours. I put all the cuts into ziplocs, printed the sheets, so I can just grab and go. Something I thought of that others might want to do too, since we are posting our blocks, each block is a single photo. I plan on inserting them on a page in word so I can see the arrangement as I go. Not certain if I am going to keep them in order. Time will tell. Have a great day y'all stay warm.
