[QUOTE=Kassaundra;8113986]Gotta love what fussy cutting repeats can do to fabric!

yes, but the press that printed the fabric must have been loose, none were exactly alike!

That is so frustrating for sure. It is hard to tell when you are buying it at the store then to start laying the templates and have them all just a little off, grrrrrrrrrr.[QUOTE=GramE;8114000]

I call that type of print a "water color print" they are always harder to get a precise fussy cut, prints w/ hard edges are easier.

Great blocks Jayne, Pamela, Kass and Gram E. Lots of fun fabrics and very precise fussy cutting.

GramE, wonderful block for Cheesehead!

Kass, love what you are doing with the martini glasses!

I remember those diaper services. Before disposables they were very popular with Moms who could afford them. I wonder if there are still such services available.

Ladies, you are making some beautiful blocks! I think this Boom you all are knocking them out of the park!! Just a little update: tumor is still hanging around a bit...doctor says 95% gone, 5% more to go. Radiation for 5 more days and 1 more shot of chemo, maybe next Tuesday I'll be done. That's okay it's shrinking and I certainly want it gone so 1 more week isn't going to kill me
Good news for me is I think I found a long arm , Babylock Jewel, and table for the house in Florida. Will be so nice to be able to quilt there instead of bringing them to Wyoming. Good price and just negotiating over how to hold it for me until we arrive. Lady lives about 50 miles from us, we'll see how this turns out. If it does I'm going to have to put my HQ16 sit down machine up for sale, hope someone needs one.....I sure don't need 3.

Well, my heart is resting easy, now that i’ve Seen my AirForce grandsons. They graciously allowed Jordan time off to attend his brother’s graduation. So I got a pic to salve my anxious heart. This pic has a big grin to cancel out the one he sent before he left. 24 more days and they get to go back to San Antonio for the second graduation.

So, yes Travelinggramma, my heart is feeling much better. And I stared down Kass’s block that has been sitting here for a week or more, staring back at me! Now I’m free to finish my last 4 or 5. Started 2 today but the dog is very jealous of the sewing machine.

Jaba, Glad for the 95% reduction, hope that last 5% flies away fast. Hoping your musical sewing machines dance goes smoothly too!
