Thanks, I am going to stick with the white, it looks okay so far, its a fairly thick thread so it does show up.

Patti your thread sound good.

Well done Jan go for it

My thread shows, but only a little...thats why I'm going to switch to the darker for my "betweens". I don't want anything to take any attention away from the blocks/tris.

Jan, have fun with the kites..!

I finished two kites today and got the third one cut out. They weren't too bad, make you think pretty hard. Since I'm a pink nut all my kites will be pink. Jane made one gold.

Jan sounds lovely, have we seen yours all laid out, your blocks were so crisp I loved them. Have you quilted all yours yet?

I have managedto quilt Row A and pinned it all together to get the feel of it.

I'm anxious to see your kites too Jan!

Elle...you go girl...you are speedy with your quilting aren't you!

Yes Patti I am finding the quilting a bit more enjoyable because the blocks are so small.

I have to work for a few days now so will be slow finishing the third and fourth kites but will post when I am done. I will start quilting my blocks when the kites are finished. Quite anxious to start them!

Isn't work just a terrible interuption from our hobbies??? LOL!! There really isn't a reason why you can't go ahead and start quilting your blocks while you "relax" at night though. I think thats how Lesley finished hers so quickly- she was quilting and piecing it at the same time!

Whenever you get them done, we'll be anxious to see them though.

Elle, Your star is lovely!

Thanks Meredith. Been out all day so haven´t done any quilting and I am itching to get back to it.
