Today's update....some blocks for more of you. I have tried to carefully read your requests on colors and patterns and follow them. jlt37869- forest paths and mosaic #19[ATTACH=CONFIG]566730[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]566731[/ATTACH], quiltermomma - mosaic #12 [ATTACH=CONFIG]566732[/ATTACH] nanakathy - sawtooth star [ATTACH=CONFIG]566733[/ATTACH] joanlizbay- simplex star and three and six [ATTACH=CONFIG]566734[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]566735[/ATTACH]. Hope these will work for you.
I do want to ask some of you that not only do you need to make that 12 1/2" block as Janice has asked but I have come across 2 fabrics that have been cut 9 1/2" x 20". This really is a little small for the width part. Just a thought for the next boom. Some of those 1/2 squares take 4 7/8"

Dh asked why I was so fidgety and restless today. Replied I don't know, then he saw me looking at the blocks and said oh for cripe sake, you aren't wishing you were home sewing are you. Boy does that man know me at times

Attention everyone! I need to clarify one important point: While it is ALWAYS the block maker's choice as to what block to make, it should ALWAYS be done with the owner's color requests in mind. Please read the color requests that came with the F8 and then decide what to make. If someone requests only red be used, please don't make a block that requires four different colors. Please try to honor the requests as much as possible. Of course, there will be variations between your idea of red and another person's red, but adding pink or purple isn't an acceptable option. Anyone who spots an issue with a block, please let me know. Believe me, this stuff happens every round and I consider it part of my job to help facilitate solutions to the various "issues" that come up. Just remember to privately email me and not post here.
Your take away from this is to ALWAYS try to honor the owner's fabric requests. If you cannot, please contact the owner and see what they would like you to do. And if you spot a problem, don't hesitate to email me. If I don't know about it, I cannot help find a solution. Thank you!

Nanakathy55 -nice blocks! Thanks for doing such wonderful job on the zodiac piece. That red paisley for the next swap looks like fun.
Jaba - great work, as usual. You make such sharp points.
Terri - yes, how are baby and family doing? Give them a hug from us.

All I can tell you for update on Liam is he was seen by the ped's specialist and he said Liam was gaining weight and surpassing all goals set for him. But the darn kids didn't say if his chest was growing or not
My BIL had chemo today and my sister ALWAYS texts me his cancer numbers and how he tolerated the drugs. No texts or emails today. Trying not to think the worse

Terri, that is great about Liam, I would suspect if there was not so good news about Liam there would have been a "but" in the report his parents gave. At least that is how I am going to choose to look at it until otherwise told.
Chemo is a roller coaster a bad day or report doesn't mean all bad or a downward trend, even if this one is not as good as hoped for

Terri, great news on baby Liam... the miracle baby! I'm also believing the chemo helped your BIL. Praying for the best for them.
And we had grilled salmon for dinner tonight too! We eat that about twice a week. Love it.

MonaG, here is your orange and purple block... Folded Star, also known as Christmas Star.

JLT, I made you another block with only WOW added. I'm sorry I misunderstood your directions. Consider the star block as a "bonus block" and maybe you can put it on the back. It's got a big white block in the center that would work as a quilt label. So here's my second try... Bowties.
