All the block are just wonderful! Such creative work!
Sewbiz, thank you for my block. I can't wait to see how all of mine turn out.
I've been busy sewing and will have some ready to post later today.

The asymetrical star is an AnglePlay design, Janice. I barely made it on that one, by piecing together the last tiny bits. Glad you like it.

I didn't think about the size issue with Go cutters, but you are right. Blocks tend to come out a bit small.

Hope everyone is doing well today...

Gals - thank you - I got a Go this winter and my blocks were coming out smaller than usual (the scant 1/4" and I are not friends) I was wondering what in the world I was doing - and having you say it runs a snag small makes me feel oh so much better.
DH actually has doctors appointment today - he sees the Retina specialist every 6 weeks - so will drop him off and run into Sprouts to pic up some fresh produce. Could eat out of my freezer for months, but love fresh salads.
Mom did end of flying back to NY on Sunday. The airports were empty, only about 30 on the plane. So easy distancing. she is happy to be back in her own home . But wow - it is empty! Even the dog keeps looking around!
Have a good day. Going for my walk before rains.

Hello Boomers, I'm enjoying all the beautiful blocks everyone has made. I'm having trouble with one, cut it too big. Had to take all the blocks apart and remeasure..Set it aside for now and will start working on other blocks. I just returned from my walk and have to do some housework. I sure don't like being sheltered. Went to Costco yesterday and there were so many Seniors there, they only let in a few at a time. Inside we had to say 6ft apart from each other. Everyone was buying toilet paper ????. My son insisted I wear a mask and gloves. Everyone stay safe.

I left work early today, I think this will be my last week for 2 - 4 weeks as we are not able to work from home.
Loved going thru all the posts and seeing all the fabulous blocks.
I have one block cut out and fabric picked for all but two, I'm not finding the right purple for Marija but not giving up yet as I have lots of purple just need to find the rest of them.

Completed and photos of three more
Loved working on Christys - she gave me name and rank so I machine embroidered in center (covered for privacy) Thank you for allowing us to do a QOV for your friend
Hav4boys - what should have been an easy block turned into my nightmare. I kept measuring with the 3.5 instead of the 4.5 ruler and visaversa. Its a miracle I had anything left after my seam ripper was through! But here is is.
And finally Janice - Got pattern from Quilterscache and enlarged it.. The green does not want to photograph correctly but it does match. Was such fun

I just cut up zucchini, onions, eggplant, mushrooms and plenty of garlic. Tossed in sundried tomatoes in oil and it is now in oven and making my mouth water. I put goats cheese on it before serving. And thats whats for dinner tonight!

Just played a game on zoom with dd in Texas, dd in Wisconsin, grand daughter in Denver and dd and grandkids here in Minneapolis. If was a lot of fun if you have family spread across the states I highly recommend it.

TG great blocks

Was a high pain day and slept most of the day. Tomorrow I plan to sew face masks, very little cutting. Should be a better day

Enjoy and stay safe
