Joan's blocks do look nice altogether like. I second the two small lap quilts.
Ladies, I feel so bad that I have not done anything yet with all the beautiful blocks you made me! I love them and really want to start, but I'm just so exhausted nowadays! Sometimes crying tired. I know it's the end of pregnancy exhaustion and it will pass, but in the meantime, I have just had to slow waaaay down. I'm so hoping Baby comes as soon as full term (3 weeks aways) is official! The tornado thunderstorm the other day nearly put me into preterm labor, but I was able to sleep it off, so false labor.

NZQ, rest up and try not to fret. All will be well.
Oops, just saw my typo. I have 15 completed blocks as you can see from the pic. If I go with two small quilts with nine blocks each, I’ll need only three more. I’ll see how I feel about the blocks when I actually start work on them in 2 weeks. A couple are off-sized so they’ll need to be adjusted regardless of quilt size and style. That’s the starting place.

Janice, Those blocks will look nice as lap quilts such soft colors.
NZquilter, I too hope the baby comes soon. I hope you and all in the path are safe during the storms.
Here are two quick finishes in time for Memorial Day. I cut the edges off the table runner but you get the idea.

Hi Laters...I don't think I'll need any more of Joan's fabric but thank you. What I could use, Queenbarbiej, is the color dots on the selvage of your new Joan fabric...one set anyway. If you could cut off one set and mail it to me, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm trying out all kinds of arrangements. My main issue right now is what sashing color. I've tried every green I have (and I have dozens of varying shades) and the only one that seems to pull the blocks together is a dark green, but that wasn't my "vision" of it. I'd hoped to use the same color as Joan sent with her F8s but it doesn't seem to work with all the other greens as there are quite a variety. Her green works great with her floral but some greens next to hers just do not playing well together. Not at all! lol They're up on the design board and I rearrange them each time I see them. Guess I'm trying for perfection and that just ain't possible, at least not from me. LOL

Janice the selvage is on its way to you. Ladies I am done with my quilt. My feathers aren't perfect but I like it. I did the feathers in a multi purple thread. It was a little difficult to see when I was quilting. Second time doing feathers on a new to me Federal machine. The back of the quilt may look pinkish but it is actually purple. I hand dyed it that way.
