Quilting here sleep is for the "other" people you should join. only one block a week you can squeeze that in. Thats what I say as I join this and that and then of course that.. yeah its only one block a week I can do that. sigh a dozen blocks a week later.. you guys know what I am talking about. For me its my mouth and fingers that get me in trouble my mouth says hey maybe and the fingers type SURE! love it! gotta get those two under control right now.

I think your spinning wheel lol blocks look great. Are you starching the hell out of them when your done? they are so FLAT and my starch is not making things look like that. I use finish. I didnt like the way niagra makes those white spots on it if it gets too close. I know there is quilters starch but dumb question number 99 .. is it different in components or just smell? inquiring minds..

Remake of Fancy Stripes:



Hope y'all like it. Really getting caught up here and it feels kind of good to see this all coming together. Also thinking of putting a black sashing around each block to showcase them, not sure yet.

Not sure about the starch, I own 2 cans of Niagra, but I have never used either.

Sorry I'm no help there.

Why thank you ma'am. I use the cheapest vodka I can find and water for starch. Mix about 3 parts water and 1 part vodka.
