Congrats Sherre on winning the drawing!

Everyone's blocks are very pretty!

Has everyone starched their fabrics before paper piecing them? Seems like it would help a lot but I'm not used to doing it for regular quilting and haven't paper pieced much. Just looking for opinions. :)

Sheree - your collection is stunning!!

Diane (quilter7x) - yes, starch the bejeezez out of 'em is what I do. It helps tremendously!!

HA HA HA great one, Sheree! I was standing on top of a bar stool, hovering right around the ceiling. I have a mischievous doggie, so I thought I'd better keep them counter height.
:lol:
True story: after I took the picture, I lost one of the blocks and had total meltdown...wanna know why? It was one I didn't have to re-do!!

Oh No Retrogirl! Did the dog eat it?

Bearpaw and Retro...your blocks look fabulous!!!!!

Now I'm worried about your block...did you find it?

Yes, Sandpat. Thanks for asking.

Even better, Sheree...I guess at some point it made it's way into the bedroom and the hubs ended up with the ziplock stuck to his face while he was sleeping. He moved it to my pillow.

Since I was unaware of the migration to the boudoir, I tore my sewing room apart...and cried. It's fine now and funny, too. All the blocks stay in the sewing room from now on and the doggie has been banned.

I'm sooo glad you found it Retro! That must have been a sight...your DH with a plastic bag and DJ block stuck to his face..where is that darn camera when you need it??? :mrgreen:

You're not kidding, Sandpat! I keep telling him I need a video camera for all kooky stuff that happens to us.

That could have been a viral video among quilters!!! I was checking my pictures posted on this thread...like seeing them on the computer would make me feel ANY better...I kept saying see, I did it---I knew I did that one---I even LIKED that one! I completely panicked, total freak out!

Glad you found your block Retro.
