What a beautiful block :thumbup:

Very Pretty Anne

Anne and Evie, your blocks are beautiful!!!

DH fixed the scanner problem and here are my blocks for this week! I actually enjoyed making block 59...I love this design!

RW, Outstanding blocks--crisp perfect lines...love 'em.

Wow rwquilts those blocks are spectacular! My 59 turned out so bad! Big bulge in the middle. I did wet it down like Anne suggested and it does look a little better. Don't know why it did that - everyone's here lie nice and flat!

JeanieG, I am paper piecing most of my blocks--that keeps the fabric from stretching/shifting when sewing. It also helps in sewing straight lines and keeping the intersections where they belong. I cannot sew a straight line without the help of a guide on the presser foot and even then it tapers off because I can't keep my fat fingers out of the way :-P . I utilize all the help that's out there, ie: starch/pressing/pinning. Anne

Thanks Anne - Do you make your own paper piecing patterns for the blocks, or are there some already made?

Thank you Anne and Jeanie for the compliments! Jeanie, I also am paper piecing mine and it really does help give a more precise block...I love my starch also! LOL!

I've been designing mine in EQ, but there's also an offical group that's got the patterns, but I don't know if it's okay to talk about it here...Anne will let cha know!

First off, rwquilts fantastic blocks! Very well done and I love the fabrics you chose!

The paper piecing patterns are available from the Yahoo Farmer's Wife group. Laurie H. has told us it's okay to use them. You have to join their group. After that it is a courtesy to drop in and look at their blocks and make comments. It would be nice also to share your blocks with them.

RW quilts - You have done it again, perfect blocks. You really do a fantastic job making all of these blocks. How long have you been quilting?

You are very kind...thank you. I've been at this for over 30 years, but in the early days I didn't do that much with it, but the desires have always been in the genes...a kickback from my grandma, as my mom had little interest.

Nonnie, thank you! I wasn't sure about sharing about that regards the official group! You handled it beautifully!

I am also using the pp patterns from the yahoo group. They have saved me.

A little late, but done anyway!

Love the red, white & blue Nonnie!

Quilting Nonnie, That's okay, Not all of us are on time. Me especially. You're blocks are soooooooo nice. Love the color combo.

Beautiful blocks! I love the colors on the night & day. Your "Christmas" block is beautiful.

I'm going to visit my daughter for three days, so no making blocks. Once I get back though, watch out!

Enjoy your sewing. I can't wait to see your next blocks!

Oh pretty table runner Quilt#!

Very pretty QE. I know I've told you before, but I love the dark green you're going to use and that gold looks like it would make nice cornerstones.
I ended up not setting my blocks on point because I had stared at them so long on my flannel wall in a linear style that I liked them better. Just a personal quirk I guess.
Keep at it--you're inspiring me for PC with your color choices.
