What pattern is everyone else thinking of requesting? This is a different twist to a Boom for me. Should be fun.
Jane The last round was my first & a picked the block "Friday the 13th." I picked it because it was pretty, but, it was a beast ! ! ! ! I didn't read the directions. I just printed them off & shipped them. That block had partials seams & not very "seam" friendly. Thank goodness, these ladies were gracious enough not to yell at me & ban me from the Quilt Board. At the end of the day, I received a few completed blocks and, the block was scrapped & I accepted blocks that the Swappers chose to do. |

I've got a pretty easy block picked out. It is a 3x3 grid with 8 HSTs and 1 solid square in the center.

I have my block picked out. Now I need to get the fabric cut and ready.

Hey Friend . . . . Don't do what I did. . . .JC . . . whatever you do. . . . , read the construction instructions . . . . just because it's cute - doesn't make it fun to put together.

I picked Brasstown Star from Quilters Cache. It is really easy but has a big WOW factor. I have my fabric, I just need to wash it and cut it up. I guarantee everyone has the matching fabric in their stash already! :)

I designed an entire quilt around my choice. I signed up for 2 spots in here so that I have 24 blocks taken covered.

That was supposed to end with "24 of the 28 12.5" blocks taken care of" but I got interrupted and the iPad decided what I was trying to say (and got it wrong).
Also, because I am a control freak (and acknowledge it) I'm going to send both fabrics. I feel like I've worked with you ladies enough in the past that you've come to accept (and possibly expect) this quirk.

I finally decided that sleep was the only cure for my confusion". You were great about it! Thanks for the patience and understanding. I will do better by you this time! :) Bee |
