Finished a block today and noticed something funny ..... I had participated in the last boom and the first block I made for that swap is the same block I made for this swap!! Same colors too!! Red/White/Blue to me will always be this block

Will let you know when I mail it. I know hubby isn't going to PO tomorrow though.

MamaHauser ... do you plan on setting your squares on point? I am planning a directional block.

DogHouseMom

Disregard ... I just realized I can't make the block I was thinking of with only two colors. I would have to add another pink ... a solid. If this is Ok let me know ... and let me know direction. Otherwise I'll make a different block.

I have no plans yet. I'm going to wait and see what the blocks tell me when they get together.

ok today is the day. Have you all ever got so busy with making blocks and you now have material and scraps sort of everywhere. Then to add in that I knit and those projects are also sitting around in various stages and completions.
Plus trying to finish up some quilts that I am marking for quilting. Needless to say there is a mess and clutter everywhere. My daughter is still living with me and so she has the downstairs as her bedroom. MY sewing machine is down there so you all know what that is like with little scraps here and there when we sew and cut material. Then the other and only place I have right now to work is upstairs in my bedroom where my computer is. Plus a semi large table area that the computer sits on and I can cut out my blocks and keep track of my boom buddies, etc. So today is clean up and straighten up. I get to the point where when I am making several blocks that after a while the clutter starts to stifle my thinking and working. So I probably won't be making blocks today as I am cleaning up.
But I did mail out 4 blocks to their owners and I mentioned them before in an earlier post. Am I the only one who gets this way or do you all get this cluttery too?????

AWilson ... your grown up block is on it's way to you

Working on a "test block". I've never made this block before and it's paper pieced. Pretty sure that the F8 is enough fabric, but to be sure I took one of my left over F8's (because there was an odd number to mail) and I'm making the block out of my F8. Fingers crossed that it all works ... if so ... I get to keep this one!!
