Nah, I'm just glad that there were some plugging their way thru to the end...How many did we start out with??? there were around 30 then it dwindled down to 1/2 that then 9/10 and then to where we are now.. I've been doing these Quiltalongs since August 4th 2010..some of you have been with me since then...I'm tired of them...I did make 3 blocks for the Gypsy Wife between all the candies I worked on..little ones 3.5" there are 30 of them in the quilt!!

It's time for me to hit the hay!! I'm tired... later, H.

It sure makes me happy to have all of these finished. I have been pressing and sliver trimming them. I just do a few at a time, it is too warm to sit in front of a hot iron.

Pretty colors, Nina Sue!

All of my blocks came out slightly different sizes, most being 6.25". But I have a few that are 6" and a few that are 6.5". I kinda dread trying to make them all fit, probably by finagling the settings.

Can't wait til some of you start putting yours together (HINT HINT...).

I am pressing and sliver cutting mine right now, and I agree, they are coming out mostly 6.25" also. I don't think I had this problem with the other ones we did, at least not to this extent. Glad I'm not the only one with different sizes!

I'm never sure whether to use a full 1/4" seam or a scant quarter, when the patterns don't say.

Even the PP ones did not come out??? Don't have a clue why!

Probably because they are PP in sections, and you still have to sew the sections together. I found the same thing with the row by row patterns I've done. You have to guess if they intended a quarter inch seam or a scant quarter.

I'm getting anxious to play with some of my pretty Civil War fabrics....

Me. too! Have block by month Civil War Journal that got done through the third month and BF stopped coming down to work on it together. Its all sitting in its tote....all twelve months and backing too for the two quilts. Now she says she is thinking about coming down to work on it....but I am not holding my breath. I would love if she did come down and we got it done! Meanwhile, I am looking for the hook and eye sets for men's pants...I did pick up four sets from Pella, Iowa, Quilted Windmill, but have misplaced ???? where I put them. GRRRRrrrrrr. Promised dh I would work on that this week!
