got my package today. Yea. I agree with bee beatty on the spread Thank you for all your hard work on this swap.

Received my package today. Yay! I'll try to start on them tonight or tomorrow night. Looks like fun! :)

I have one question. I was going through the F8s and noticed that I have two F8s that say they're from GroovyPieces (see photo). However, I think the navy blue marble-y one (Aunt Eliza's Star) actually belongs to Nelco, according to the chart. Can someone verify? I don't have an F8 that specifically says it's from Nelco, so I'm thinking it may have been mis-labeled. Thanks. :)

i have two from LJDugas, and one is that blue. which i matched up with Nelco. so excited I have all the blocks printed out and i am ready to roll

Moonrise, I believe you figured that out correctly. I got my package today! Not quite sure about all the instructions, so I'll probably be asking questions... Some really lovely fabrics! Prints I haven't seen before. So nice.

I see what I did. I put your names on the fab and not mine. I am the one with the blue with white vanes. Sorry for the confusion :(

The blue is mine. Sorry for the confusion :(

No problem at all! :) I just wanted to make sure you got the correct block back. :)

Got a few blocks made ... then ran into a snag.

I really really really stink when it comes to inset seams. After 2 hours of sewing, unsewing, and resewing, GroovyPieces' block still turned out pretty lousy. :( It somehow came out too large, and when I squared it up, I lost the corners on the diamond shape. Here's a photo showing how it came out. If you want me to try again, I'll be glad to pay for the extra piece of fabric and the postage. Sorry about that. I feel like crawling under my sewing table! :o I'll make some practice blocks in the meantime so hopefully I can get it right. ;)

I finished a couple of other blocks as well, and will get photos ASAP. (Are we supposed to post photos?) I particularly had fun making the flower basket block for Givio. :)

Morning All . . . It's me, Groovy Pieces . . . And just let me say, I was not ignoring any of you - I work nights, so when the post were submitted to the thread - between 8:09PM (2/18/2014) through 6:06AM(2/19/14) - I was preparing for work, on the way to work, &/or working during the posting. It isn't until NOW (when I get home & relax a bit), I fire up the laptop & catch-up on the 'Board'.

MOONRISE . . . my friend. . . .the block looks fine; don't worry about the points - NO QUILT POLICE IN THIS SEWING ROOM ! ! ! ! I chose the block because of it's name & b/c I liked the sight of it, & honestly didn't scrutinize the instructions; it was ranked 2 dots on quilter's cache, so I thought it was kinda' easy.

TO EVERYONE: I've read the directions & if you don't like set-in seams or feel that you really don't want to be bothered - use some stitch witchery or steam-a-seam, or whatever makes you feel good to get that seam to lay down & act right. In fact, if I read it correctly, those pesky seams can be folded under and use some steam-a-seam to glue'm down & top stitch. AND, if this block is really not your gig, any block you chose will work fine. As I stated in my packet, half of you have the main fabric and the other has the companion piece. . . so, if you choose not to make the Friday the 13th block, choose a block that feels good to you. This quilt is gonna be snazzy because of all your talents.

My Sewing Room is my Inner-Sanctum, ergo, this is a 'NO STRESS ZONE'

Rock on ladies . . . GP:D

p.s: I received my packet on 2/18 (Tuesday - sleep during the postal runs); will go through them after a nap).

Good deal! Like your thinking...Bee
