Do not feel pressured to catch up. Work at your own pace and show us your pretty blocks when you can. No quilt police here.

I love looking at all these blocks. They are so pretty. Seeing all nine together is fantastic. I really am working on mine. 2 finished and 2 almost finished. Have just about given up thinking I can catch up, but will sew on!

Nicky, Re: your idea of pink flamingos. That would have been a fun fabric quest, to make each star with something to do with the State.
In any event I think we stay more creative when we try to make do with what we have. I have all my smallish prints in large baggies, one for each color, and I find I have tons of choices! |

My goal this coming week is Alabama (tonight), Colorado ( tomorrow night since it looks quick to do), and Georgia. |

WhitePine, I agree! That would be so much fun. But I have lots of fabric already and want to avoid buying new fabric for every block I make. Lord knows i am making alot of pp blocks these days. I am working on the houses quilt, making 6x6" and 6x12" blocks to surround the houses to get it to queen size. I am having a blast with it.

I was going to try to make all of the blocks out of my stash. I am going to try to only buy my background fabric since I wanted to keep it the same throughout. My stash has been getting out of control. So far I have been able to not buy any fabric. My machine is in the shop for a tune up and has been all week. I have my Georgia block finished. I hope it is finished today because I only have one machine.

Isn't is awful when our babies go in for their check-ups? Withdrawal! Last summer a gear that never wears out, wore out, and it needed to be ordered from Switzerland. They told me 2 to 3 weeks. (ended up being a day short of three weeks.) Thought I was going to faint, so bought a used, older mechanical Brother. Didn't know if I could be away from my machine for all that time.

I am sure I know what the song will be for tomorrow. I hope someone posts it. I love that song.
