Hi everyone, Just checking in to let you know I survived Irma. Just got power back this evening, but no major damage. Just yard debris and some damaged fence. My house is intact and freezer food is still frozen solid, so I dodged the bullet! Just need rest. I'm exhausted and should sleep well tonight, now that the A/C is working and I'm back in touch with the rest of the world via internet! :thumbup: Janet

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Glad you are well...Get some rest, keep up your health.

Chain Link Block
 

I have my Chain Link Block done, here is a photo! Now on to Jack-in-the-Box! It's cut out ready to go...

Hugs,
Betty

Here is the block I was talking about. It's called "Light and Shadows." Its an old block by Nancy Cabot. Its made using 3" strips.
Cut One Focus square 3 x 3. From Pink cut two 3 x 3 squares and two rectangles 3 x 5 1/2. From green cut two 3 x 3 squares and two 3 x 5 1/2 rectangles. Sew the center four patch. Sew a rectangle to each side of the four patch. Sew a square to each end of the remaining rectangles. Sew one strip to the top and one to the bottom following the picture for the color color placement.

The focus square can be print or a different color solid, and the rest of the squares and rectangles are as listed in complimentary colors to match the focus square. For example the focus square here could be floral as shown or could be dark/hunter green solid. Any color combo works as long as you just use three colors. Enjoy.

Oookk, Jan..Thanks.. That's a neat block.

I think its neat, too. Not necessarily pretty on its own, but I can imagine the different looks and secondary patterns one could get, when many of these are set together. I'm anxious to see what comes here. Jan

Jan, would you please post on the September Bee? Thanks. ;o)

nice blocks

Very nice blocks. Are these the first two blocks. I only recently joined but would love to join in on this group.
How does it work?

JoeyC, This site is basically done for the year. You s/h be able to sign up next year in January (2018). This year (2017) 2 blocks were selected by members and we all made the blocks from our own stash. Mid way through we started doing 3 blocks a month. So we ended with 18 blocks if we made all of them. Each month we showed our block(s), which made us eligible for the next month sign-up. It's a fun Bee and I enjoyed seeing all the different colors of the same block. We also chat about our progress or can get advice from other members if we have questions about the blocks. Hopefully we will see you next year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
