i thought it was really helpful when the lst DJ had each weeks blocks listed in a seperate heading. maybe you all could do this, or, go back and catch the other thread.

Well, I am back with 3 more blocks, still way behind, but I am whittling it down. And, of course, I still have the quilting to do on them, but work on that in the evenings in front of the TV.
This first one is D11 and this one gave me a few problems, but I solved them as best I could.

And here is D12, which gave me a lot of problems, not doing the swords, but that it came out too small, so I had to do cheater strips around the whole block, giving it a final 1/4 inch border of white all the way around, but it is done.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]350385[/ATTACH]
And the last one is D13, which I customized a little. I just felt that the big white block in the center was so blah, so I had this fabric that I had used for a quilt for a little boy starting school this fall, and there was this little piece that says "Love to Learn", which I thought was so appropiate for this quilt. To say the least, I am definitely learning, from all of you.

So now I am off to the second family reunion, with temps going into the 90's. Just know that they have a big shaded back yard, and when you are with family, who thinks about the heat. Have a good weekend, everyone.

Gus, I'd be happy to add it to the first post for you. You can put a post here with the information that you have so far and i could copy and paste it into the first post. If others have input to the chart/list of tut posts, i can add those as well.
I'm leaving on vacation in a few days and won't be back until 8/5... not sure how much time i'll get online while away.

Seeing all your blocks makes me wish I had joined up in the beginning! I lurk here all the time! Maybe someday...for now, I'll just enjoy and be amazed.

DottyD ... your blocks and fabrics are so beautiful!
Spartan Quilter ... very great blocks and I love your idea to center block!
CindyA ... love your idea your grid!
I was not carrying a specific color design as my amount of fabric is scarce.
So I decided to "jump" the programming and continue the blocks by rows.
So as seen prepared my "c" row, a photo accompanied them.
I think that it will be easier for me to work in this way to improve the color theme.
Tomorrow I will try to go ahead with this, but I'm doing a new giant tablecloth for my tables of the quincho (place of meeting with friends). I'm reusing four old tablecloths, so it took me a week to select the good pieces of fabric, cut, square and sewing them together (I leave some pictures). I hope to finish soon!
Have a great week!
I leave a big hug to all!
