I shudder to think what could happen if a small child got hold of my good fabric scissors or rotary cutter!

Anyway, so now I'm catching up on all the posts from the past week on this thread and the Cyber Party thread in the BOM forum.

The blocks everyone has posted so far look absolutely great!

So far I've only had time to try one block and it was a bit of a disaster! I thought I'd try to do K9 using rotary cutting - big mistake! Not only is it badly lopsided, but it came out 4.5 inches unfinished instead of 5 inches. So it's back to paper-piecing for me!

I'm going to sit down this weekend and try it again.

Oh, nad if you're making a list of the themes of our quilts, Klue, you can put mine down as "Batik Baby Jane".
