Want to pass something by everyone... would you be up to a English Paper pieced block? I have found I love the hand sewing but not sure how the participants would feel. Let me know. I will not be doing them all but maybe one or two.

I hand sew some of mine. The three blocks I’ve made for myself already are hand sewn. Sometimes I mix hand sewing and machine sewing on the longer seams. I have no objections.

Sewbiz, sad news about Trisha. My prayers go out to her family.
Hav4boys, a resounding yes to English paper piecing, I've never done it, but certainly would be a wonderful gift. Whenever I think of English paper piecing, I think of grandmother's flower garden, there are a lot of beautiful iterations of those hexagons. Kudos to you.
My spoonflower fabric arrived yesterday, so now I have the fabric for the next boom ;-) Can't wait to start on this one though. Hugs all!

I’m very sorry to hear about Givio. My thoughts are with her family.
Hav, I look forward to seeing your EPP blocks.
All packages are in. I worked on them last night and I got the F8s for those in both groups into a single envelope. Thank you for packing small! Hav, yours will be in a single box. Now it’s time to print labels and tape them up. There’s a chance I’ll ship today if all goes well. If not, tomorrow morning. When I print labels, your emails with tracking numbers will be sent to you.
Have a good day.

I love seeing all the talent and learn from you all! So bring on the Inklingo and EPP and Embroidery and Paper-Piecing and Applique. This all makes our final quilt so beautiful and awesome.
I will willing take any 12.5" square block!

Labels went smoothly so Packages are in the mail! Some will start arriving in 2 days. Woo hoo. I will push the due dates to one week later to allow you to get your packages as mailing seems so slow lately.
When you get your packages, before anything else, please count your F8s. I count each package multiple times but you need to make sure you’ve got 19 per group. Thanks!
