Congratulations on getting the right size and the points in the right place! Woo hoo! Not easy in the beginning. It's a great block. 
Love the table runner as well. Will add it to the gallery soon.
Pretty block, Lstew. Good job!

Well I haven't been playing w/ my fabric and blocks, but I did get all 6 placemats finished (and the table runner). I hoping to get a lot of work done on the brown / cream quilt. I have been looking at block ideas saving a few pics getting some ideas.

All 26 packages are at the front door waiting for today’s pickup. By Wednesday, most of you will have your F8s. Yay! Big reminder for everyone, immediately after you open your packages, be sure to count your F8s. Everyone in Later will have 19. You need to confirm this so there’s no question later. Be careful to separate them from your own fabrics. This round I’m using a beautiful gift bag to hold mine. They are always in there except when I’m working with them. Once a block is made, they get put back in. Use whatever system works for you but do keep track of all of them. Thanks!

I've been making some extra blocks for my quilt so will show you what I've sewn so far. That brown might look like black on your monitor but it is a deep chocolate brown. The blocks should be here tomorrow but I will be at the doctors most of the day, MRI and PET scan scheduled...ugh!![ATTACH=CONFIG]608347[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]608348[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]608349[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]608350[/ATTACH]

Jaba, thanks for posting these. It helps me see the shade of brown you want. Beautiful blocks. Hope tomorrow goes well and that the results will help the docs figure out what’s going on. Will be thinking of you and sending positive vibes your way.

Jaba - your blocks are lovely! It really is helpful to see all of these self-made blocks and even more helpful that they're arranged together in the gallery for us to use as a guide. I hope your scan and MRI bring you the best of results tomorrow, too!
I've peeked on the USPS website to track my package.. hoping there's smooth sailing on I-85N This is like waiting for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve!
