Thanks CJ, the more I get done, the more I want to get it finished, but yet I don't want to stop making these blocks.

That's why even the same patterns looks so different with different fabrics. But that's what I like about quilting. If I'm making something for someone in particular, the fabric reflex's them. My sister makes absolutely beauitful quilts. Very traditional, small prints, and I want them all. But when I go to make the same pattern, even though she and I have the same colorscheme, everything looks so different. Because of the different fabric styles. Boy this would be a boring world if we all liked the same things.

Here we go again. I was starting to go thru withdrawals because I hadn't done one of your blocks last week, had a billion other things to do. But here is Wk 21, Audrey.
By the way Rhonda, on your dresden plate, I can make that smaller by just extending the small end can't I. I'm not going to use the dresden plate I made and put on here, I'm going to make that the center of a miniature, but want tiny ones all around it. Make sense????? :oops: I think I'm starting to loose it. LOL Wk 21 Audrey [ATTACH=CONFIG]143322[/ATTACH] |

The only hard part is makeing sure the sides are the same length so the points where it starts to curve are the same on both sides. |
