Thank you very much. I'm still trying to dicide if I want dark purple strips or light beige strips. Everyone's blocks are so pretty.

Ditto for the WOW !!! These are great blocks ! ALL of them. Granny Q, Your blocks still amaze me. Your # 60 reminds me of a "crown" or "Bridal headpiece" very pretty.

Well I cannot seem to get Block 59 to lay flat, but here they are!

I'm trying to think of a way to shrink the middle a bit. get a piece of corrurgated? cardboard.stick pins in the block around the edges first and then on the major seams from the outside towards the middle--until uou get to where it won't lay flat--then spray or dab it with water in the area where it won't lay
flat and let it air dry. See if that helps. I know that when I spray fabric with the steam iron it goes back to it's original size. this may help to flatten it. Anne

Here are my next two blocks, feels good to be back up to date.
Did not enjoy #59, as much as I tried and resewed three times I could not get the centre to line up. Oh well the quilt police can nab me :roll:

Oh thank you Anne, I'll try that. I tried ironing the seams open, as was recommended, but I don't think that helped. May have to do that one over - ugh!!!

What is it with scanners lately??? I did somthing wrong a couple of weeks ago by clicking on the wrong box and my whole printer/scanner/fax went crazy--wouldn't let me shut down--had to take the battery out--now it wants the software CD that I can't find--had to get my other printer out of mothballs. I almost gave it away!!! still hunting for the CD :-( :-(

I don't know, but it's crazy! DH found the CD, first uninstalled the program, then reinstalled the program and it still won't read it...has been on the phone with HP, but still needs something! Aarrrggghhh!

Good luck with your search...wishing you good vibes... :D
