Ok, here is my block 74 Mrs. Taft. I enjoyed making this block. The contrast is not like I normally would have done, but I just wanted to use these two fabrics together. I like how it turned out. I did take apart a couple of seams on my last one I did in the blue to have the seams even. I am happy with it now. :o

I have to say that this block looks so much prettier in person in real life than what my picture shows. :)

Nice block Susan! The colors never seem to show up in the photo as pretty as they really are in my posts either.

Great block, Susan. All ready for the new week!

My photos never look as good as the 'real thing', either...

Here's Mrs. Thomas! When I cut the orange stripe I thought it would be more interesting. The block turned out ok, but nothing to write home about. :-)

I think that block sings to me, Givio. Color contrast is good, fussy cutting looks great. Three cheers for that block!

I like it too! The orange really pops out. :thumbup:

Ok, thanks. :-) Nice encouragement!
Happy Memorial Day all! It's a good day to remember those who went on before us.

I thought Mrs. Taft was surprisingly tricky. Yes, your monitor is right, it's a fluorescent yellow-green background. What was I thinking when I bought it? Well, I have to use it... luckily only an eighth of a yard of it! :-p :-)
