Ok, I have three of these done. I was going to do more the other day but one was giving me so much trouble I figured I should quilt while I'm ahead. Hopefully I get the rest of the set done today. Whatcha think.

I think so! We have 29 officially signed up (with a few days yet to go) and very few of them are making just 1 set...I haven't done a set count yet, but we'll have plenty :wink:

Nothing in particular. Just kept making mistakes. Either I flipped the fabric wrong or it shifted and I sewed it wrong. Oh well. That one will be my block as it is still nice just not my standards for swapping.

Oh...I hate when that happens! I find that working with strips and folding the paper backwards on itself, holding it over a light to make sure it covers works well for me. Sometimes I still screw it up though if I'm not paying enough attention. :roll:

Sandpat, I'm going to participate, too. I hadn't made it "official" so I thought I better do that. :oops: I'm not sure how may sets I will be able to make, but I'll post pics as soon as they are completed. I'm just LOVING all these cute blocks that everyone has done!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

That's my little Bitsy -- the one who likes to strike a "belly-to-the-world" pose!! :lol: :lol: She is now a year old. Wasn't sure she was going to survive when I first got her last June. She's a tough little girl!! Must be the hillbilly in her! :D She was the runt of the litter; her siblings were about 3 times her size! I used a syringe to feed her pre-packaged kitty milk and water. She is still quite a bit smaller (i.e. height) than her "sister," Gracie, but she weighs more. She has such a little head. She is such a sweetie, and I hate to even think about what would have become of her had I not rescued her from certain death. :|
