I think it look great.

The airplane thing I forgot to remove. It is a metal cutout of the plane my daughter flies on in the air force (AWACS).

Never even thought about the colors being amish, just like the combo.

Haven't forgotten you, just busy... I'm flying thru a Kid Quilt for my neice, new record for me 5 hrs for the top, just 9 patch, + full blocks will finish tonight, if can keep all my ducks in a row. have my fingers X'ed.
Knew I'd be in trouble if she didn't end up w/something soon when she beboped in sewing room and ask what i have been working on, of course it wasn't this !! (and it has been a while since i've sewn for her) I promise not procrastination, just last minute planning. :)

Here is my block. It did not turn out as good as I had hoped it would. I may make another one later, I think I got into a hurry. I do like this pattern.

Looks great. I hope to try another one later today. Hurrying is my biggest problem. I'm too eager to see the end result.

This is an amazing block and you guys are doing a fantastic job! Love every color choice! Can you tell me how you plan on quilting it? Will you hand quilt, machine quilt? Just curious...Would love to make one but was wondering how to machine quilt it. I don't have time to hand quilt...too many waiting for me to finish. My machine quilting is very limited...I cross hatch, stitch in the ditch, etc. My free motion is not so great...Thanks for any suggestions....Laura

The block is just an exercise in paper piecing and color placement and selection. I don't know if anyone plans to quilt it, unless they are making enough for an entire quilt - and for those of you that are wondering -----yes-----------mine will be posted soon.........

I am so proud....
I knew i had to try this again and I think I did pretty good this time. Not perfect but so much improved. I learned several lessons:
1. Tape not pins for me
2. Cut the template out with a 1/4 inch extra. I was less likely to have a shortage of fabric .
3. Cut the fabric slightly larger but close to the size i needed to help with placement.
4. If it's not right, rip it out!
5. Patience, patience, patience
6. Use good fabric for stability.

Oh, and feel free to scroll back and look at my first attempt. You can even snicker if you like because my confidence is restored now!!

That is sooooooo pretty!! You learned from this - that is what we are all here for!! Thanks!
