But I shall persever sgardner, partner, I SHALL have your block finished and it the mail before .....soon! I'm Sorry for the delay!:{

Hey, no problem. My quilting time turned into a complete rearrange of my entire basement area. Only the Avante didn't move, but everything else got shifted. I now have a clear walk area to the washer/dryer, a cabinet that isn't falling apart that I can start to organize and actually put away my fabrics, a new (to us) desk, and lots more space, or it feels like. The blocks should be mailed tomorrow! And, with any luck, I will finish the next month's block while I have all this stuff out, so that I can put it all away. I have a quilt to load on the Avante, and it's been calling my name- LOUDLY- to come play with it.

I am beginning to sound like Shirley Temple- "tomorrow, tomorrow, there's always tomorrow!" I wish there was just more time in "today".

The Avante is my longarm sewing machine. It has an 18 inch throat space, and my frame is set up at 12 feet. It takes up a large portion of my basement family room.

I'm sure I will like your block.
BTW, here's a pic of yours and my other partner's. They are in the mail:

Those are beautiful Shelley! I love the royal blue in the second one. I still have some of that flowered blue in your first one! Great job on them!

Sorry that I didn't post when it arrived. Yes, I did get it and I think it's just gorgeous. Subtle, yet elegant. LOVE it.
