huskyquilter, I have practiced on a few also. I think I am figuring out that I really like the use of the solids. I was hoping to avoid purchasing, since I have a few 30's already. But, in the small block, I am really liking the rest on the eyes of solids. So it's off to LQS tomorrow for solids. Which I will be in luck if they go on sale in July. Keeping my fingers crossed.
