Wow! They all look great! I'm loving the batiks! Might have to add some in to mine as well. Hmm... Here is my Aunt. Should finish up Augusta tonight or Thursday. I have the sections done and clipped together ready to sew. It was a nice break to have Aunt this week, but I'm finally getting workflow together so it is going much faster now. Any tips for which way to press the seams for Augusta as I'm joining pieces?

Here is what mine looks like..some of these seam intersections are quite lumpy and I'll probably undo some of them and change the directions so they lay flat after the paper is removed..

That is my hope too Huskyquilter, I am about the same place you are. Going to do April over. Here is my Aunt and Augusta is cut up and ready to play with tonight. Stopped by a quilt store on my way home from a meeting at work today to see if there was any 30's fabric I couldn't live without. And of course there was...

Pam, I love those flowers in your block - I always look for prints that I can use many different colors with!

Well, I finally visited twiddletails.com and, well, got myself in a little trouble! But it could be much worse. At least they are pretty affordable. Pam, I also kinda settled on a theme, so now I'm going to be debating about if I want to redo all the blocks I've completed. Sigh. I'll at least do another Aunt. We'll see...

Plus I know I don't have the color and fabric choosing skills that I am seeing here...but I am learning!
