Honchey it is a great feeling when they come out the right size and you have nothing to trim off. Bad part is I havn't PP in awhile and I did the block in reverse! I forgot to flip my PP template so my block came out reversed! Still looks good I was gonna redo not sure now! LOL Well onto two more blocks today!

I have to give you a great big TY Honchey for all the rotary cutting instruction, WOW! Some of the blocks I am going to rotary cut, some will be PP, I'm not crazy about working with all those little templates, seems your always cutting! TY again for all your hard work! One reason I am loving this quitl is its a great way to use up your stash which mine needs major thinning out! Off to sew! Have a great day!
If you look thru the photo pages you'll see many of my blocks the same way...reversed!. It's been awhile (weeks) since I printed any foundation papers and I know that there's a way to reverse them before printing them out. it's done on the printer..options maybe?? your block turned out great...no one will know it's in reverse.

Alas! This Johnny-Come Lately is posting some blocks for your viewing. I started in May (or was it June) and did a few. Then life happened. Now, I hope to follow along a little more regularly with some results!!
So here are my first two blocks ..... am posting more in the next few minutes, so look for 5+6, 13+14, 71+72, 81+82, 83+84. I have a few more done, but will wait to post when I have the pair made.
Thanks for looking!

Thanks, Honchey ... I bought scads of that fabric back when I did my Sampler when I started back sewing a few years ago. It certainly isn't the sampler that this one is ..... all HUGE blocks and pieces are 12"!! :). I still have some of it left .... and can see that blues may work their way more into this quilt, as you'll see in the other blocks!
