Harmony & Bearpaw ~ nice blocks.

Bearpaw is that the Dandy Block?

Marty,

It is "A Dandy". Here's the link, instead of the plain white middle, I used the print - the white looked dull.

There is another block called "The Dandy Quilt" - just arranged differently, I think

Joanne...Are you telling you are traveling in that RV?:)I read for awhile about quilters that traveled in their RV's and how they stashed their stashes and machines, etc. One even pulled a trailer behind them for she didn't want to choose what fabric she wanted to travel with..so she took all of it!:)I love it!

Sold the RV last year - need to post a new Avatar! Panda asked to see a picture of me the Kimono I made a few years ago. It's in CT, so I'll change my Avatar when I get to CT - leave for CT tomorrow very early in the morning on Southwest Airlines.

I am having so much fun with these swaps!!!
I have my first set all cut and I am heading to the sewing machine as soon as I am done this message! But I think I am going to make two sets!! I will let you know in the next day or two for sure!! I found another block that I had so much fun making that I think I am going to do it too! I'll see how this block works out first!
Everyone's blocks are turning out beautifully! I don't want to miss out on any of them!

Awe, thanks Dojo! I think your blocks look great! I had the hardest time with 1/2 sq triangles and flying geese until I started using Eleanor Burns method. I cut the squares 1/8 inch larger than she says, so I'm sure to get a pretty good square or geese when done.

and where would i find her method?

There was just a really good post for help with 1/2 square triangles - here's the link:

http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/l...43.page#353913

My reply is on page 2 (if the link doesn't bring you to page 2) - I posted a couple of links. The second link is to a Eleanor Burns pdf. It says it's for a ruler, but if I remember, it gives directions - you don't have to use the ruler.

Hope this helps :D

Finished my set today. I'm going to hang on to them for a little while and I really think I'll do a second set. I'll look for another block in a little while..I don't know if its possible to find one that someone isn't already doing though :wink:

Ladies, your blocks are gorgeous! I want everyone of them I see...so I guess I'll have to get back there and make another set!!

(So sorry for the cat hairs..if you are really allergic..you should probably let Colletta know that you don't want mine.)

Also, Colletta...how do you want us to label them..or do you want us to label them???
