I know the ribbon block (that you have now perfected beyond reason) was part of the mystery train... if you have the directions to make it like yours (what sizes/colors to cut) I'd sure love to have them. My brain just couldn't comprehend when I wanted to switch it up like this.

I put mine together w/ a combo of paper piecing (for the angled portions) and regular sewing. I do not know how to get my drawn pp pages to load AND print to the right size, but can include them w/ anyones blocks that wants them. I'll work on a tutorial to go along w/ them, either included or posted.

Here is Mollymunchkin's block. It is named Sunny Days, but perhaps for this block we could call it Starry nights, lol.

Only three more to do.

Here is what has been keeping me busy. Boom 16 blocks put together on point and gifted to my great-niece for her wedding yesterday. Look how different some of the blocks look when put on point.

awesome Elise - a lot of work in that one block. I love the quilt. yes, on point is beautiful - but your middle blocks and corners bring it all together - terrific idea. Loving it and of course I get to see my block!

Travelinggramma, you wanted to feel like you were jumping into a pile of leaves... hope this helps with that feeling! I was waiting and waiting for someone with super applique skills to put Sue out there....

I think this is my first sue - never made one or received one. I love it - I only hope I can do the blocks justice when trying to arrange them. thank you

this block reminds me of an aquarium window - good job. Sometimes we want to go super creative and the fabric doesn't

love my block. I'm excited to get them put together. Thins so much.

Wow, so fun to see that you all are still putting out those beautiful blocks. Loving every one, and the pretty quilt on point.

Love the greenhouse photo and especially Doodle. He's adorable and so sweet to pose for the camera.

I'll be watching for the twisted ribbon star block tute, as well. Love that block!

Kassandra I would love for you to send me your toutorial on the twisted star

Kass, I would love a copy of your tute for the Twisted Ribbon Star too. That block is drop-dead gorgeous.

That is a really beautiful purple quilt! I love it on point! Id love a copy of the ribbon star too but unfortunately I just cant get the hang of pp so that leaves me out! :) It is a beautiful block!!

Today on my embroidery machine I made an ornament out of felt and it was two sided. My very first time, at this rate I might even get more daring and try appliqué one of these day. Pretty darn proud of myself. Hope I don't break my arm patting myself on the back :p

This is Betty's Delight for Francie. I needed to finish a block. I'm hand sewing on two & going very slowly. I think I like Betty's Delight, I might use it again.

I regulate that "proud" of myself stuff, Terri, just like a pity party. Only allow no more than one a month, if needed. ;)
You are working on Christmas, I'm trying to finish fall/Thanksgiving. Then on to Christmas.

I want on that tute list, Kass. :thumbup:
