Those are lovely Connie. The colors on the first one is wonderful and I really like how the checks show off the design of the rail fence.
I'm staying strong (ok my charms haven't even gotten here yet). I did order 5 packs of blades as the price was too good to pass up so will be set for awhile. I was stockpiling some supplies (needles, blades, some thread) as it looked like hubby would retire last year but he didn't. Don't know whether I'll continue on or not with that - maybe add a little more throughout the year.
I did pull a few more fabrics from my stash for the double wedding ring. Since the amount I need is 3 1/2" the question of whether there was enough was mute so the only criteria is that it be bright. The charms are quite a bit bigger than I need so I'm cutting them down and sewing those together. Will figure out something to do with them
