Hi all - the blocks all looking great!
I'm finally getting round to posting pics of my attempts at week 1 blocks. Not the, erm, flattest blocks I've ever done! I'm going to blame my fabric choices (!) - raided DH's wardrobe and stole a load of his shirts, and some of them are quite thin.

Life (work) seems to be getting in the way and preventing much quilting at the moment, though will now settle down in front of the TV and do some hand quilting on a little welsh quilt I'm doing. Will attempt more blocks at the weekend, though a little scared by a couple of them!

I named my seam ripper Jacque.. then when I get aggravated that I have to use him (which is way too often), I scream out, "Bring me Jacque ze ripper!" in this really overstated French accent, which makes me giggle and less irritated.

Great blocks, everyone. Brat, I love everything about your Christmas quilt, and Mrs.EOP, I want to wrap up in your blocks and take a nap. Great idea using the shirts. They look so comfy.

I recently found this board and thought I join in with the quilt along. I've completed 2 small quilts, so I am a beginner. Triangles are not my friend! :) Here are my first 2 blocks.
