These are looking fabulous!!
Here's mine squared up & ready to go to round 2. I didn't realize how hard it would be to match the pinky peach in the center that I wanted to bring out in this round.

boy this thread is busy. I'm digging out the lap top, tho, so I can just stay in the basement. read some here, then sew.
I spent this morning worrying about my FWQ. but I made up my mind, just two minutes ago to set it together traditionally with the brown strips. just did not want to do it that way, since I did my 2 janes like that. those little 1.5" strips with tiny little squares at each intersection is a real pain.
yes, I know make them, with wide strips, then cut them down to the 1.5 strips with the intersections already sewn in. but we are snowed in, and I wanted to start setting. will just have to wait, and buy brown, in a couple days.
so, since that has to wait till the roads are passable, I will sew on OURS.
yes, I found the posts this morning. thx ladies . but still please help me keep track of the numbers in the future. thx.

Mimi,
Looks good! Just wondering if you meant to do two corners with the pink pointing to the center and two on the diagonal? Symmetry ocd kicking in, I guess :>)

okay, got my 24" center done. black and white. and I looked at the first round. I like jaba's hour glass, and of course I don't have the ruler. thought I had a tri angle ruler, but can't lay my hands on it. may clean a little more, and see if I can find it.
was wondering how to make the hour glss without the ruler. jaba, you said to cut 5.25 in sqs ad ct them diagonally in half diagonal from all four corners. sorry, I don't see what to do next. to come up with 4.5 in hour glass finished block. did I miss where your explained what to do with those 1/4's of that 5 1/4 in sq?
love all your blocks. whitepine, that Is stunning.
SORRY, I FIGURED IT OUT. THAT WAS THE PATTERN FOR THE TRIANGLE. YOU LAY IT ON TOP OF YOUR TWO SEWN TOGETHE STRIPS. THX.
