Honchey - thanks for the welcome back! I guess your settled in your second home now? I bet you're glad you were out of NJ - or did the blizzard get you too? - Kookie
Hi Kookie, we came home for the Holidays-we enjoy watching the grandkids ripping off the Christmas wrapping paper. Oh, and yes we got hit with 26" of snow with drifts of 3+ ft. We have 6ft. icicles hanging from the gutters. We're leaving next week to bring some more "stuff" down to NC. It snowed there too!
I'm halfway done with # 43 then try to catch up with the ones I haven't started with. Good to have you back too!. Anne

Hubby trying to knock off the icicles!

Anyway, for better or worse, here are my 43 & 44.
Wow, Weezie I love your blocks. They look great!

Ok cute, cute cute QuiltingNinaSue! You are so clever!!!

Love the colors in your Garden Path rwquilts! You do great work!

Thanks, Jeanie. What I don't like (especially in block 44) is the fabrics. Last spring, I got a bunch of 2-1/2" strips & a variety of sizes of squares from Keepsake Quilting; most are fabrics that I would NEVER choose to buy. The fabric is good, but some of the patterns & colors really stink. I waste nothing, so I'm trying to use as many of them as I can in this FWS, but some of them are pretty hopeless. They should be fine as part of the finished quilt, though.

RW, I love, love your blocks 43&44! Maybe because they are in the colors I'm doing my quilt...but I thought they were outstanding!

Thank you Jeanie and Nonnie! I'm getting a couple of projects finished so I can get back to these blocks...I'm still a little ahead, but if I don't crack the proverbial whip over my own head that won't be the case very long...

I figured out how to change things with my EQ5 so was able to change #43 (took me all morning- then the duh moment hit) so wouldn't have y-seams... which made these two fun to do. Here are my 3" ones, the 4" will be following soon.
"Thank you" Quilting Nonnie, I love the blacks they are working in well to blend in my bats block.
