Another Delaware. I agree with several of you about this not being my favorite block and that it didn't turn out as I wanted but, ckcowl, you are right. That can't all be favorites. And we need the plainer ones to make the others stand out. So.....[ATTACH=CONFIG]313558[/ATTACH]

Yours is great! I am seriously wondering about Hawaii. I really don't like it. Perhaps I can modify so I can like doing it.

Happy Sunday, everyone! What a week! But I am going to be able to get back to sewing. I so look forward to Sundays since we started this. I love seeing them all; they are so beautiful. There will be some wonderful quilts at the end of this year. Here's my Delaware.

Wonderful blocks ladies. I must be in the minority, I like the simplicity of the Delaware block and I am excited to finally be done with the "A" States!
CK I think the center fabric on yours is very striking - whoever said it reminds them of a lightning storm was right.
Whitepine and KGreene those are some lovely fabrics in your blocks. Let's face it, there is not an "uggo" block in the group!
Here is my Arkansas block. I am having trouble with pieces shifting and have been playing with my presser foot settings and finally gave in and switched to a walking foot. Still had a bunch of movement so the top line is sewed spot on the line, but the back side is always off. Strangely enough does not seem to affect the final block (except of course that it is not perfectly square but I'll worry about that later!).

And now... California here I come!!!
I had intended this to be a predominantly blue block but somehow those sneaky purples stole the show. so I am determined that my next block will be green and I will get a blue one out of the bunch if it kills me! I am beginning to see too much purple in my blocks. Go figure, it is a favorite color of mine.
