QNS, Very pretty& very sophisticated color palette..I just read the email you sent about the pencils...They are simply amazing...I cannot fathom how he does that!!!

Everyone's coming up with such lovely colors. We are going to have a great show n tell.

Thanks mirabelle for taking the time to give us measurements. It will save us all a lot of time

Looking at it now--it's amazing!

Mirabelle, thanks for the pattern and measurements. I wanna do one and two but the Irish Mist is almost ready to assemble...I am trying to tell myself to 'wait', but not sure 'self' is listening. Oh, how I wish I could set a couple of sewing machines in the virtual RV for you to pick up and use for two weeks. Maybe dd has an extra machine? Or the dealer would 'loan' you a sewing machine??? Hoping you will work something out and lose the frowns 'cause they age you worst than a smile that you always have for us...LOL!! Your pattern shows you are from 'down under' and distressed and wish I could help you more.

THANKS Mirabelle, some of us need all the help we can get!

Yes, thank you so much Mirabelle!!

Gorgeous choices of fabrics.

My two young Grandchildren just left to go out with their other grandmother so that means I have the rest of the afternoon to MYSELF. I just finished one section on the first block to see how it would go and it looks great!! Now I will do the next five sections in assembly order and it will move along even smoother.

Hi all. I am one of the lurkers who is still thinking about if i have the time to do this. I really love it and love paper piecing. I did do the 50 paper pieced stars project and finished it. Life has been a little bit crazy around my house lately. I think things are calming down now. I am hoping to squeeze these in. I am thinking of using white background and doing the rest scrappy. I did the 50 stars with matching backgrounds and the rest scrappy. Hope I can fit this in my schedule. I look forward to seeing everyones beautiful blocks on here even if I don't get to do them. I am a chunker when I paper piece.

QNS I can still straight sew on my Singer just no quilting at the moment. Today I plan on checking my cutting measurements for Block 3 and getting a few things organised for retreat which is only 2 weeks away.
