    Oh you Guys!!! This is what I miss! All the bantering back and forth! We're going to have to ask Jan for some of her Donkey Fabric or find out the Manufacturer so we can get some. I have a signed book and haven't even opened it... I'll be too tempted to start and then won't be able to finish my current projects. Honchey

    Thank you guys for making me feel like less of a jackass (get it?) for thinking the donkeys were horses!! I've so missed all the fun we had with FWS.

    I think donkeys are cute. I don't have any "horse-y" fabrics, so I think I'm going with a farm theme starting with a layer cake someone gave me. Now I just have to get more fabric to match/coordinate and I'm set to go. I'm looking forward to our next journey, even though I haven't finished the FWS.

    I still have to finish my Sylvia Bridal Sampler and not to mention Dear Jane. But it's nice to make 8" blocks for a change!

    For those having troubles with Y seams I made a tut. In the pictures you can see the foundation paper is left on the back of the pieces. You sew exactly on the seamline and NOT into the 1/4" seam. Fold the edges together and sew, again not into the 1/4 "seam. Remove the paper, iron and you're done

    Thanks, Anael. I've been following your progress on Yahoo--your blocks are beautiful. I'm going to try your method for Y seams. I've been practicing them, got the best results doing them by hand. This looks easier and you certainly get accurate points. Seeing the pics helps. I'll let you know how I do!
