i thought it was really helpful when the lst DJ had each weeks blocks listed in a seperate heading. maybe you all could do this, or, go back and catch the other thread.

Well, I am back with 3 more blocks, still way behind, but I am whittling it down. And, of course, I still have the quilting to do on them, but work on that in the evenings in front of the TV.
This first one is D11 and this one gave me a few problems, but I solved them as best I could.

And here is D12, which gave me a lot of problems, not doing the swords, but that it came out too small, so I had to do cheater strips around the whole block, giving it a final 1/4 inch border of white all the way around, but it is done.

And the last one is D13, which I customized a little. I just felt that the big white block in the center was so blah, so I had this fabric that I had used for a quilt for a little boy starting school this fall, and there was this little piece that says "Love to Learn", which I thought was so appropiate for this quilt. To say the least, I am definitely learning, from all of you.

So now I am off to the second family reunion, with temps going into the 90's. Just know that they have a big shaded back yard, and when you are with family, who thinks about the heat. Have a good weekend, everyone.

Gus, I'd be happy to add it to the first post for you. You can put a post here with the information that you have so far and i could copy and paste it into the first post. If others have input to the chart/list of tut posts, i can add those as well.

I'm leaving on vacation in a few days and won't be back until 8/5... not sure how much time i'll get online while away.

spartan, those are great blocks... and i'll have to remember your idea of a focus fabric for that center... cute!

Seeing all your blocks makes me wish I had joined up in the beginning! I lurk here all the time! Maybe someday...for now, I'll just enjoy and be amazed.

DottyD ... your blocks and fabrics are so beautiful!
Spartan Quilter ... very great blocks and I love your idea to center block!
CindyA ... love your idea your grid!
I was not carrying a specific color design as my amount of fabric is scarce.
So I decided to "jump" the programming and continue the blocks by rows.
So as seen prepared my "c" row, a photo accompanied them.
I think that it will be easier for me to work in this way to improve the color theme.
Tomorrow I will try to go ahead with this, but I'm doing a new giant tablecloth for my tables of the quincho (place of meeting with friends). I'm reusing four old tablecloths, so it took me a week to select the good pieces of fabric, cut, square and sewing them together (I leave some pictures). I hope to finish soon!
Have a great week!
I leave a big hug to all!

You should just jump in and join us. Just start with where we are now and do the first rows after you get the rest done. Once you start, you won't be sorry. I am still very behind, but I keep stitching away, and maybe someday, I will actually get caught up. Lol
