Hubby Bill has to have surgery on the 22nd. Torn roto cup and tendon repair. We'll be quite the pair for a month or so

Great block for Marija.
My machine is set for a scant 1/4", just 1 thread width exactly, but what I have to do is when I cut strips or pieces, etc. make sure your ruler line is on the fabric, not just before or the ruler line butted up to it. If you don't lay the ruler on the fabric itself usually it will not be the width it should be. Most generally I have found that if I don't do this I will have about a 12 1/4" block and those points will be right at the edge or an eighth of an inch inside. Just a suggestion some of you may try, I know it makes a big difference for me. Also, I use the same ruler for cutting a block. Sometimes you think they are all the same, but believe me they are not! The width of a black line on them can make a difference when you cut several pieces.
Here is what I worked on today. Home with my husband as he has an infection from a broken tooth.
I am designing my blocks in EQ8 and having a blast.

Finally back from vacation.
Thank you for the beautiful block have4boys. I’m already making quilting plans for this one. I think a round medallion quilting pattern will look great on this block.
I received my squishy with the 19 fabrics. I have to finish quilting a lap quilt and then I’ll start. I have ideas for a lot of them.
For those of you who are letting me use more than two colors you’ll be getting one of my odd blocks. Sorry Libster. No star for you. I have a really good idea for this one.
