I just love the way you do your blocks! Here is my Augusta. I stayed up late to re-do it and I am glad to be done with it! The next two look like they may be a bit easier for me. [ATTACH=CONFIG]529128[/ATTACH]

Thanks Jeanie, I just needed an evening to myself to redo the ones I was having trouble with and this was the night. Now I can't sleep haha. Go figure.

I cannot kept late hours like you 'younger' ladies can...LOL! Pam, great job on that block.

JeanieG, I downloaded Rosy's files. I printed the first one she sent me and its so enjoyable to read...everything from the ads to the articles.

Wow! all the blocks look so different with the color fabric placement.. I see stars, blocks floating on water, and chutes & ladders..am I crazy or just see things differently.. love it, love it, love it :)

OK finally finished redos on first 2 blocks and posted them, think I finally have got this figured out, if you ladies can check the first group for me so I can start on the next group, I figure in about 3 weeks I should be up with the rest of you, although the 2nd bunch seem to give some a challenge so surely give me a headache, lol

Teri I looked at your redos and they're lovely. You have a good eye for contrast & color and all your points match. Yes, I think you have this figured out! When we started the first FWS I was a true beginner; by the time I finished piecing all those I felt like I could piece any block I saw (I'm a little over confident LOL) but the more you do the more you learn. There are a couple of difficult blocks next but then a whole bunch of easier ones. Please--just have fun doing them, don't make them another "chore" to be done like dusting or cleaning which I hear some people do to their homes.

I agree with JanRN, I hope you didn't get discouraged reading my posts. I too am a beginner but even the hard ones are doable. My problem is I rush through them. Learning to take my time now though. Learning a lot of new things here. Every once in awhile I get an 'aha' moment about something I read in an earlier post and now it makes sense to me. Thanks everyone for all your tips!

Jeanie, you need to click on the link at top right, I think to make it dowload to your computer. I am new at this also but it does work for large file, do a search on how to download from dropbox.

Givio, I didn't think you had to download db. I thought you could just click on the link and get the file, let me try it.
