That is a very beautiful block!! Wish you were swapping with us again Gram! Join us again Lisa!!

Here are the fabrics I sent out - you can see what others have and where your F8 fits into the rainbow. Jaba had the yellow/orange fabric which of course fits perfectly in-between the yellow and orange. Please don't stress on this. You can incorporate any scraps with any designs you may have as long as the block reads the main color.
Perfect example: SewBiz uses lots of scrappy pieces with various colors - but the end results reads blue.
I hope this helps

Still haven't started on y'all's blocks yet. Been trying to get some fast charity quilts for men knocked out. Today I made this one, Jenny Doan's Squared Stripes quilt. Talk about vertigo-inducing! I can't look at it too long at one time. This will be the center and then I'll build it out with some borders.


Yikes! Stripes!

Ya'll must remember that I print the cutting and sewing lines on the back of the fabric with the Inklingo program. I'm toast without it! And you should try sewing in bed, it kinda grows on ya!

I'm starting on a Hunter's star today that I printed out while hubby (ssshhh) was in bed! An impulse buy that I might be happy with. I was going to print the red/white/blue that I just bought but these 3 were in my line of sight. This was just laid out to see if I liked the balance. And I think I'm crediting Joan with all this orange fabric in my life suddenly.

Sewbiz, you make my head spin! There is nothing fast in my life & to think you whipped this out today? You have focus girl!

Lol... all of Jenny Doan's tutes are pretty quick. I got the borders on it too. Posted it in Pictures and called it Too Much Caffeine.

The block you have cut is impressive! I love the paisleys too.

That is probably my all time fabric Gram. I have the quilt on my bed sometimes and the blue/white boom quilt on it at other times.. I love both of them! You do such outstanding work...from a bed?? You are remarkable!!

I love this, I have saved 3 striped fabric to do this one, I saw it on Missouri quilts though.

SewBiz girl I love the colors in your Yikes Strikes quilt. Just gorgeous. It makes me a little dizzy too.
