My sisters [ATTACH=CONFIG]309260[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]309261[/ATTACH]

Caroline you do need 6 of the #2 blocks and the triangles were in the original cutting instructions

Celeste- Thank You we have one more to go and she is laying it out right now :)

Sharon those are beautiful. Fabriclovr you must be so proud. I will test for you anytime!

And the final one :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]309281[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]309283[/ATTACH]

Fabriclovr- THANK YOU - we are having a blast :)

Caroline we all love yours :) Keep going you are into the home stretch :thumbup:

Those are wonderful. I have saved all the instructions. I am glad that I didn't try this one today. I have been feeling blah all day.

The layout is wrong on this quilt. She needs to switch places with blocks 3 & 4 and the colors will flow.

I think you missed something. There are 6 side triangles cut out of background fabric. To get those the directions say:
Cut 1 Strip 12 ½ x WOF
Sub cut 2 – 12 ½ x 12 ½ squares
Sub cut these in half on the diagonal both ways. This will give you 8 total triangles, we will be using 6 These are for the side triangles. I think the sub cut is the step you may have missed. the next step was to cut 2 6 1/2 squares from the remaining fabric and then cut them on the diagonal. That will give you 4 smaller triangles for the corners

You do need to make 6 block #2 and I see where your confusion is. You are supposed to label each set of blocks, no matter how many you make of that block, with the block number. So block #1 will have a label on each that say "block 1" Block #2 will have a label on all 6 that say Block 2 and so on.

Does that make since?

I like the light and dark! Nice job!

Sharon, I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised! When I first saw your color choices, I was not sure how the print would read, but it turned out very nice!

I am very proud! I accept your offer and I will get in touch with you when I have the instructions written for "I guess that's why they call it the Blues" Labor Day Mystery, Monday, September 3rd.

Oh my!!! Such a beautiful quilt and pattern! I didn't find it until the day was almost over, but I am going to print it out and will be doing it soon! Please let me know about the Labor day quilt! I am definitely in! Will probably be at our sons in Rochester, NY so it will be perfect...DH and DS will keep each other occupied and I can quilt, quilt, quilt!!!

Looks good but blocks 6 & 7 need to trade places

Fabriclovr- Dad wants to know what is going on for Memorial Day ? LOL

Mom said too late already all sewn together :)

Tell mom, the pattern is not right the way she has it, but if she likes it that way, its her quilt and her design choice :)

Tell dad, humm, that's an idea and look at your PM's

Thanks, I will double check. Had to stop to do the feeding of people and animals.:mad:

I just did that myself and my DH insisted that I watch the half time show.. stood there for a moment and then said, I have stuff to do upstairs... later! LOL

loved the different pics. I had to stop in the middle of sewing mine together (step 6?)to go to Sunday dinner at mom's, so should finish in the morning. I would be happy to test a new quilt if you still need testers. I think a little longer time on the first step would be nice, but made it up in later steps. (hmmm...could have been the kids calling mom at first until I threatened bodily harm...lol)

Thanks so much! I wont be here tomorrow as I have to work to support my fabric habit, but if you have any questions, I will try to get to them when I get home :)

I just finished piecing my top- we all are tired so calling it a night - I think we are getting together next weekend to do the borders :) will try and get Dad to take a pic of the 4 of us with the tops as they are now :thumbup:

Pretty quilts.

Not the best pic but here you go :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]309352[/ATTACH] I am all the way on the left, then Dear Sister in Law, Mom and Sister

you ladies did a wonderful job. nice looking quilt tops. i really like that brown background with the print and turquoise. on another note it was an exciting 4th quarter game. yeah!!

caroline i like your colors also. waiting patiently to see what you put together.

Hope others share theirs with us :)

I love all the tops that I have seen.

If you are writing a new mystery during the summer I will have time to test the pattern.

Love the quilt tops! I was away at a longarm conference all day...wish I could have joined in...love it and I've never done anything on point. As soon as I get to longarming a couple of charity quilts,I can join in the fun!!!! Congratulations:)

I was reading the posts again and trying to find where I left off and found yours again. Made me laugh! At work, the lady that does all of the field trip planning (I drive a school bus) was pulling her hair out because she could not find the paperwork for a set of trips that was coming up. She swore that she printed them and couldn't find them so she reprinted them. She handed me mine and for some reason, I put it down with the back side up and guess what was there? The missing paperwork! LOL For some reason, the printer printed on both sides and she didn't think to turn over the paper. Guess it happens to the best of us from time to time. Glad you were able to find the instructions and continue on :)

Beautiful, simply beautiful!!

I Love IT!! Now that you see it put together, its easy to understand why I stressed the numbers on the blocks. Good job!

nice job caroline. what are the dimensions of this quilt? the top center looks small.

The blocks are not sewn together yet so I do not know. It could be the perspective of the camera angle. The rough measurement unsewn and pinned to the design wall is 37" x 48".
