Ok, so I didn't meet my goal to mail on Monday because on Sunday evening I tore one block apart to start over. It was just too small. Like 12 1/4" and I tried to make it bigger & it totally looked like I tried to make it bigger. The problem wasn't the fat eighth because I had received extra from a kind soul who had some to spare. The problem was the piece from my own stash wasn't big enough. Lesson learned-a fat eighth & a 10 1/2" square does not a 12 1/2" block make. At least in my case it didn't so, I decided to go back to the beginning & be reinspired.
So I'm sorry Janice, I'm changing my block for GrandmaDi. Now I can go to the Post Office!

And for the record, I don't work for or get any stipend from Inklingo. But it has added so much to my life. I'm confined to home & bedrest a whole lot & having a project I can work on from my recliner is magnificent! I print, then cut & sew without ever getting up out of my chair! Then when I get my squares done & I have some days at the machine, a top comes together pretty quickly. The first project I did was 28 mug rugs with the LeMoyne star. Hoping to start a Passaglia into the fall. We'll see. But Kassaundra is teasing me and keeping it front & center in my mind. But my son reminded me on Sunday that I had committed to starting a teen sewing club & I will be teaching them hand sewing with the stars from the free side of Inklingo. That starts maybe instead the fall. Waiting on a building project to finish for space to have 1/2 dozen girls & me together. I can't get any "old" ladies interested in hand sewing so I'm gonna start younger.

Gee, Jane. I suppose I'm too far out from having had young children that I cannot spot a puzzle piece easily. Nice block!

Geez, GramE, I'd sew with you! I haven't done much hand piecing but it was very enjoyable. I've been looking at the Inklingo site and might just give it a try. I've got a lot of plans: learning to pp, starting a new two color quilt, working on UFOs and suddenly yesterday I started a little Dresden piece. I'm not sure when i'll get to inklingo but it's on my mind and I will give it a go. I'll email you about it for tips when I start. You're clearly an expert.
