Billi, love these blocks!
Here's a bonus block I made for LUM today for her QOV quilt.

Love the blocks! That football helmet is too cute.

I liked the first one, but this one is even better!

Posted on Topaz but a good FYI for opals as well:

So the question has come up as to whether or not a person should alter their planned block so that more scraps are returnable to those who wish them back. My response, so you all know, is an unequivocal "no". As we've become more controlling, in general, in recent booms about color and style, I'm not going to encourage you to make blocks you don't want to make so a larger scrap can be returned. So, make what you want to make and return usable pieces - no shreds please - to the fabric owner if you have any left. Thank you!

Oh good, because I absolutely agree I am always happy to return any fabric I don't use but I like having the freedom to make the block that appeals most to me.

I thought we were supposed to keep the leftovers unless the sender requested it back. :confused:

I don't want any of my scraps back. I have a whole bolt of the stuff!

You are correct Keep the scraps!!!! Sending them back is for the very few ask for usable pieces back so they can make more blocks for themselves.

Absolutely correct, Billi. Sewbizgirl, only a couple of people have requested the scraps back in Topaz. I don't think anyone on Opal has done so. This is just an FYI. :)
