    No Karen, I live in a rural area and keep my doors locked . I let her in and let her out she never brings in her purse or a bag. She leaves without anything as she comes in. It is a complete mystery to me. But the Lord says He will heap coals of fire on the head of my enemies. So whoever took them WATCH OUT.!!!! lol

    Everyone has made such beautiful blocks for Jolo! I should of waited to see the colors that you all are using. Mine I sent is just blue and white. I hope she can use it.
    I am really impressed with the embroidering. I have an old old Brother embroidery machine that I haven't used in years. I think that I should get it out and relearn how to use it.
    My quilt is coming along. I am ready to square up the second step and start on the third step. I was looking through my 5" pieces and came across a handful of 7"pieces! Have no idea where I got them, could be a swap? Anyway, they are the perfect size for clue #3. So today I will add the large triangles and if I have time, I will get the strips and yellow put together.
    It's been a long time since I have made something this large for myself and I'm finding it so relaxing! Thank you Judy for what you do!

    Pam H, love your quilt top, especially like what the piano key border is doing for it. Love it!

    Sunrise, I didn't realize we were doing a specific autograph block, so mine is different too. My machine only has one alphabet basic embroidery w/ a few "fancy" stitches, so my "autograph" was simple too, but have enjoyed seeing the more fancy work.

    This[ATTACH=CONFIG]509150[/ATTACH]is the one from the suggested pattern, needs signing and mailing.
    now, if I can find my fabric pens, and the address....little bit overexposed the upper portion is more true to color, flash, should have done 'photo shoot' outside.

    We can do whatever blocks we want. This was just a suggestion. No worries!

    tron, what a great example of a congrolled scrappy. Looks great.

    Pam H - I like to do a mitered corner with piano keys, but also love the corner on the link posted by tron.

    There is not one quilt top that I don't like. They all look terrific. Great jobs, everyone.

    Sample done for the #9 scrappy. Two weeks from today we start again LOL. I just love scrappy quilts, and feel so "green" whenever I use some of those scraps. But then feel really stupid when I still have a leftover scrap from something I've cut that goes back into the scrap boxes.

    Everyone's quilts are so pretty and what a great variety. I have decided I want to do this as quilt as you go. I am going to add the 2.5" border to finish the stars. As this is my first time as Quilt as you go, do you add the border pieces to the blocks to quilt it or do you quilt the border separate and then attach it later? Been searching for a good Youtube video but most of them are the quilt as you add pieces variety. Any good refrences?
