Oh QE, I have also been tempted by this block. And I have a gazillion strips I can just get started with. I wouldn't PP, but start with a 1.5" square in the center and use 1" pieces for the courthouse steps ending with a 3/4" cut "frame. Then start with a 4P made of 1" squares and add 1" strips to make the triangle shape....hmmm....oh another project to think about!

Oh yes, OKSGlad, this is right up your alley. Of course, sans PPing! :)
Sooooooo ..... when are you starting?
Not like you have anything else to be doing at this time of the year *choke*
How 'bout tonight? :):)

HaHa, QE! especially when MrOk is in OH for AGA meeting! Getting ready to think about heading out for the night shift soon! So the question is...when are you starting?

*snicker* .. meeeeeeee? :)

Then being that the cat is away ... you should just play! :)

As for thinking of night shift ... just keep thinking about it.
Isn't that what the Grands are for? :)

Maybe we should make it a challenge?
But sorry, mine will be all PPing!

Hey we should...you will more than likely finish first...but who cares...it's not a race! I've been thinking about it all evening!:D

Let's see GD#2 had BB game after school...GD# 1 had speech after school, then a BB game, and then played in Pep band for the Varsity game..GS#1 was her chauffeur...just when they get to be good help!!! Once they get home they have their chores to do at home.

ha! don't get your hopes up for that!
Jane is STILL singing her blues, and hanging out on her very own design wall.
I DO want her finished at least to a flimsy this winter.
The hold up ... I just cannot decide which borders, white with blue or blue with white.

Yea for your grands and being ever so involved. A chip off the ol' Grandma's block, I'd say!




FYI .... I made the mistake and printed the block pattern out.
Just.One.Block!

LOL you have to start with just one QE..I may have found what to do in my afternoon playtime!

Yup, sounds like a good idea for your playtime! :)
Maybe me? heck, what's another project?
The way I see it is ... PP is a good way to be productive, when I want something mindless to sew!

CashsMom??? ..... Are you with us and ready to join the challenge?
After all, you started it, so you really do HAVE to!
Of course you will .............. :)

Patrice- what a great pattern! I had quite a year of quilt making and have loads of scraps!
Thank you!

Okay, I have been playing...pulled out my 1" wide scraps...I have tons and started pieceing...I can't believe I"m saying this, but I think PPing it may be the way to go. Trying to get the center square the right size to correspond with the corner triangles is my bug a boo..I'm thinking my seam allowances may be a titch over a quarter inch, which makes everything off a titch. As much restitching as I did I think it will be...if I do it...a PPing project.

So I scrapped this piecing idea and started working on another miniature...PP flying geese...did I say PP'd?:D:p
