All your blocks look great! I didn't stitch block #43 the way it was directed but changed it so I could easily paper piece it.

Here are my blocks 43 and 44

You don't sound critical, not to worry. I do trim as much as I dare and still ensure that I have a 6-1/2" sq., so some of the block edges don't look as neat as I'd like. The real blocks look much better than their pictures. Ditto with the pressing. I do press and they look pressed until I photograph them, + the camera picks up every little piece of lint and every flaw & the colors are not true. It's a bit annoying!

These are all beautiful. I'm so embarrassed that I couldn't figure out 43. Thanks everyone-back to the sewing room. I'm going to conquer that block!!

There are some really creative, wonderful blocks here! Good job everyone, both on selecting fabric, sewing it together and keeping up with the front of the pack!

Yikes I'm behind again already!

Quiltingninasue - love your gentleman's fancy! That's perfect.

rwquilts - those points are so perfect! And I love the colors.

Honchey - thanks for the welcome back! I guess your settled in your second home now? I bet you're glad you were out of NJ - or did the blizzard get you too? - Kookie

They all look great. I am about 20 behind, thanks to our move to the new house, and now not in the mood to sew or quilt. Hopefully I can get back into it soon.
