Beautiful blocks, SBG, Libster, Mona G, Cheesehead, and Macybaby! You all have been sewing up a storm!

Thanks Sew, those are both great blocks. I can't wait to see all of these together.

Another new to me star! Thank you, Cheesehead.
Macybaby, I can't even imagine making those teeny little 9 patches. Gorgeous block!
Sewbiz, love your blocks, 'specially that first fussy cut one.
Everybody is making such great blocks this Boom. Our finished quilt show is going to be spectacular. Way to go, Boomers!

Sewbiz, Libster and Mona love all your blocks. Each one is special

No sewing for me today.

These are all so lovely! I am pretty much stalking this thread. It feels like when my mom used to give us girls each a new surprise toy, game, coloring book, or puzzle every 100 miles of a long road trip.

Mona G - those for me are perfect! I'm really liking what everyone is doing so far. Very creative!

It was fun to unwind at the end of the day looking at what you all have been up to this weekend.

I especially like the beautiful one by Macybaby with the mini nine patches in pastels. I am impressed with them all.

Today I finished a few blocks and will get pictures and post soon.

Beautiful and amazing blocks ladies.

Wow! Beautiful blocks Boomers! I'm working on moving them to the gallery. Please check later today that I credited your blocks correctly. Thanks.

I made a few more blocks this weekend. First one is Cheeseheads, second NZquilter and the last two are for Terriamn.

I love my block, Queen! Thank you!

Thank you queen, I also love my block

Macybaby love the blocks, absolutely amazing. Thank you so much! Sewed yesterday while watching the 500, will post later today. Hubby is helping me clean house and have to say he’s doing most of it. Might get some time to sew 1 or 2 this afternoon

Ladies, Would your like your blocks folded and put back into the baggies you sent them in or would you rather have them in bigger baggies so that they stay flat? And If you want them in bigger baggies would some of you that double up would like both blocks in the same bag? Right now having all the blocks that I have made so far, The gallon Ziploc baggie is twice as big. You ladies tell me what you would like?

Hi Barbie,

We always fold them up and put them back in their small bags. They will press out once they get to us! Be sure you put each block in it's own bag, so you don't mess up Janice's count.

Queen, yep Sewbiz is 100% right, back in the same baggie you received it in marked on the note that was sent with or add a note saying block was made by you.

For Jaba.[ATTACH=CONFIG]608663[/ATTACH]

I cannot stress this enough, Queen, and everyone, for the sake of shipping and my sanity, the goal here is small baggies. Please fold the blocks you make neatly and put them back in the original small baggie they came in and then into the gallon sized bag for shipping back. I know the blocks will need pressing out of the baggies but the blocks will not be harmed in any way by folding. Also, it is very important to add your name as maker to the baggie, either as a label or on a slip of paper inside. I need to see who the owner is as well as who made the block. Both those board names must be easily readable from the outside of the baggies. Don't make me go looking, please! I've got eyes that are as old as I am so don't make it tiny! Thank you! And since we're talking about shipping already, do not ship me any completed blocks just because you finish early. I prep an area to accept and save them and the next few weeks are a bad time for me to receive any packages back. Thanks!

I will keep them in their original baggies they came in.

Zozee, I open my pictures in Paint, and from there you can type a text over it and save it.

Beautiful star for Jaba, Cheesehead.

Beautiful star Cheesehead. I didn’t have any true gold colored fabric, more yellowy.

Saw doctor again today for one week follow up and she ordered a rush mammogram on my left side. She thinks the discoloration is from the infection but is in total agreement with me that this isn’t a wait and see situation. Boy oh boy talk about being a basket case. I just want to curl up under a quilt and hide.

I'm so sorry for you, Terri! I'll certainly pray all is fine.

I made an airplane block for Darcyshannon's boy-quilt. It's a block I've been wanting an excuse to make for a few years now; it was so much fun!

Geez Terri, that's not the kind of scare you need now! Isn't your surgery scheduled for a couple weeks from now? I hope they can figure out what's going on with your infection so it doesn't interfere with your surgery. Thinking of positive thoughts for you.

Super duper airplane block NZ!

Terriamn, hang in there. Try not to go to the place where you put yourself through H*** with worry. Try to keep your mind in a positive place. Not easy. Hugs until you get your results.

For QBarbie[ATTACH=CONFIG]608672[/ATTACH]

Thank you Cheesehead. I love churn dash blocks. I really like the batiks. Purple my favorite color.

Love those colors together and the way you combined them in the churn dash, Cheese.

terriamn, sew or do something that keeps your mind busy! and most of all have the faith lady, have the faith. Trust me. I know how hard that is to do, but on the days you can it will save your sanity...

Here are the blocks I've finished in the last 3 days, hope they work ladies!

If these won't work for you, please let me know. I can change colors very easily before they get to you. I love the blocks that I am seeing for my quilt, I think it's going to be stunning! Thank you

Cheesehead, perfect block, thank you so much. I'm loving what this quilt is going to look like already!

This is my contribution for today. This one's for Hav4boys. It's a Diamonds are Forever.

Loving all the blocks being made.
Terri, keep your chin up, Girl. All of us are right behind you with our support and prayers. ((((((Hugs))))))

Ditto Terri... will be praying about the infection. Stay positive!

What beautiful blocks are showing up today! Great work, NZ, Cheese, Jaba and Libster. That Diamonds are Forever is a terrific block. Love that airplane block, too!

Look at all these gorgeous blocks!!

Thursday afternoon I will have mammogram and ultrasound. Will know if it is cancer before I leave appt. Thank you for all the wonderful support.

Very fun airplane block, Jaba, Cheesehead and Libster all your blocks are so pretty

Terri, you're in my prayers. I know it's hard to wait for answers, but may God's peace be in you.

The blocks are looking good. I really like that one Libster made. Is it time-consuming, Lib?

Absolutely adorable. I have seen this plane too but have never had a reason to make it.

I included all the islands and of course I couldn’t hack through the turtle. I found a teal green watery fabric and framed it with fussy cutting. I hope it will be a much loved Hawaii quilt. I wish I was in Hawaii right now.

Here is a block that I think will work for several boom fabrics. I made this one for the quilt I am making my mom. You may see this in your fabrics. :o

It goes pretty smoothly, just gotta' pay attention to getting the corner units put together right. After that, it's a breeze.
