Love your perfect blocks, Katybob...

Here are mine:

I suspect the pink in this block was a blend... that's why it puckered up when I put the iron to it. I 'inherit' a ton of scraps from my quilting group so sometimes a blend slips by unnoticed... until it behaves like this!

Honchey, that orange and yellow is so pretty against the black background and white flowers.

QNS you go girl. Those are great and playful bright colors. Lots of those yummy candies on one including that touch of brown that represents chocolate? I like those bright playful flowers on the other.

JanRN when I seen the first two you showed us, I thought wow I am losing it, because I could have swore she did some like that already. The two you put on after that are very pretty. The first one reminds me of blue skies, and the second one is just gorgeous batiks. The second one has those places that look like summer green caterpillars climbing along a leaf.

Katybob those are pretty red and yellows in the first block, and you did a good job of keeping those stripes lined up in the second pretty one.

SBG that is such a pretty background print you used in your first block, and those other fabrics coordinate just beautifully with it. Pretty pink, white, and blues in your second block.

I will have wonderful blocks you girls finished to look back on when I begin again to finish mine.

Hi Everyone, I cannot access the updated thread..anyone else having that problem??

sewbizgirl

Yes, our main thread is messed up. Been trying to get to that last page in the thread all day and it just shows a blank gray page. I pm'd QuiltinNan to tell her of the problem. Wonder how in the world just one page on the whole site can be out of whack?

Thank you Susan for that great encouragement... I'm sure you will finish your blocks in your own time. I still have a bunch of old ones to get back to before I'm done.

Today I did an experiment... I joined the BOOM swap which will start soon, and they require you swap 12.5" blocks. I thought some of our 1930's FW blocks would be so pretty, so I tried blowing them up 200% to see if I could get a block that finished at 12.5". Hey, it worked! I made a beautiful experimental block that came out just the right size. That means I can draw from all of those neat patterns to use (enlarged) in the Boom swap.

By the way, the Boom closes tomorrow (Sunday) at midnight. There is still room for about 4 more people... hint, hint. I'm a newbie there... been thinking about doing it for years, just never did. But it sounds like so much fun, making blocks for everyone else's quilts with their fabrics, and then getting yours back all ready to put together into a quilt. Since our project here is winding down, I thought some of you might enjoy the boom. The group with space available is the 2-month group... plenty of time to get blocks made. Think about it!

Yes, I cannot understand why the one page of discussion is not working. Hope they can get it fixed.

Me too... I also contacted PatriceJ and posted to the Help thread. It wouldn't hurt if others would also...

PC discussion page not working makes me feel like this:
