Thank you Cutebuns (love your username)!

You are welcome, and it is a nickname from my teen years.

OOOh Sheree, you're colors are rockin'!! Love the combo.

I'm adding pix of mine to the mix. I'm not doing the triangles because they aren't in my design. I thought about just doing them for the fun of it but decided to stick to the plan.

Best wishes to Elle & DH. We're thinking of you.

Surrounding myself with 30s repros for the year....what could be better??

Thanks Klue. I like the 3 all in one block too. I couldn't make it work for all, although I wish I could. Do you think it's going to look OK with 2&3 fabric blocks (tell me the truth) or do you think I could figure out how to use all three fabrics in all blocks?

Also -
* my foundation paper just came from RaNae. Yeah!!!!
*I think H-5 needs to be mirrored (one out of the two bigger PP works and the other doesn't - it's not in the right place). I'm going to try re-printing it mirrored
*I'm going to post E-12 pics. I'm having a bitch of a time with this one. I re-did it last night and it's still not good. Maybe if you look you can tell me how to go about this one.

i agree with cutebuns, the 2 or 3 color blocks would play very nicely with each other and you can play around in the software ahead of time for placements.

let me know how you like the PP paper.

try H5 again because i've never had to mirror that block. i made 18 of that block for the christmas swap and didn't have to mirror them.

but - i also didn't use 3 colors - this could be why you might need to mirror and i didn't.

the easy way to figure this out - is to print it out of regular paper and color the sections on the back the color of the fabric that you would place there.

then cut them up and tape them together to see if it looks correct. this way saves you some fabric.

E12 is a pain, post pics and i'll try to help but if you notice on my pic of E12 one point is off and i tried 3 times to get it right.

i love your blocks - i love looking at 30s jane.

you did a great job

I fell a bit behind on reading posts so I just wanted to say everyones blocks are looking so pretty! I am having as much fun looking at all the fabrics people are using as I am sewing my blocks :)

(((Elle))) I hope your hubby sails through chemo and is soon all better. I think it's just as stressful on the loved ones who go through this as it is for the person experiencing it. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Sharee - I love your blocks, both week 1 and week 2! It looks amazing with three colors. How fun! Honestly, I think having 2 and 3 colors between the various blocks will add a lot of interest to your quilt.

retro - great job on your blocks!

Great piecing and color. Love that blue!

Oh no.... I hope it goes well Elle. I'll be thinking of you both, and sending love and hugs for Monday.
