Paula,

I love it to and will be such a great memory for them both. I am not so sure I would of wanted to sign it either

Thank you ladies - I really had fun with this one. The bottom tier is 6" x 18" so I made three 1/4 square triangles in each color set and then sewed the opposites sets together to make each of the three squares. I just rotated the center square for fun. I then appliqued the yellow circles.
The skyline is applique. I found a silhouette via a google search and traced it. The third tier (circles) is just really coo fabric that set the entire color scheme.

Paula, I am sending out Evelyn's row today. Tracking code 9405 9036 9930 0080 6017 67

Woo hoo - Thanks Kelly. Easier to work when you have inspiration right on the wall.
I will let you know when it arrives.

How we doing here? Just checking to see any new progress on the rows for inspiration and boo hoo, no new ones.

QM, we had some members drop out and some members drop in and so we're still getting caught up :)

That sounds interesting. Some new eye candy?

Hi everyone hope everyone is OK. This has been a bad month for me. I did get my blocks done. Kelly I mailed Melindas blocks to you today. My husbands aunt died and we have to go back Thursday. The tracking # is 1312 1810 0000 1719 6173. The lady at the PO said we can not track the package on the computor when we insuer the item we have to go to the PO. Anyway you should receive it on March 1. Hope to be back March 3. Evelyn

Evelyn, sorry to hear about your husband's aunt. Prayers for your family as you deal with the loss.

Evelyn, I am sorry to hear about your loss. I will put out Paula's blocks to you by the weekend. Things have been a little rough going. Took me over a week to do one block because of my stupid need to use directional fabric. Ughhhh

Evelyn, take all the time you need! There's no rush on anything; none of us is going to lose our minds if things take a little longer. In terms of priorities, we should be well below any and all things family-related.

Thanks everyone for the prayers and understanding. On the 9 of Feb my cousin and his wife died in a car accident after that Glenns aunt died. They say bad things come in threes I sure hope this is not true. Pleas pray for us to have a safe trip. Evelyn

Ok! I got Melinda's row in. I haven't looked at it yet to be sure, but remind me: we're not putting the blocks together, right? I'm going to make 6 and leave them unattached?

Yes Kelly you are correct - we are NOT putting them together for Melinda

Yeah don't sew them together i will do that later

Melinda - I shipped Evelyn's rows to you today- you should have them by Wednesday. USPS Track number 9505-8000-0107-3063-002-92
So sorry these are late leaving. They have been done for weeks and safely put up in my sewing room - then this dummy forgot to ship them out by the 1st.

Paula,

You are way ahead LOL I still have Kelly's to do. I just finished yours and they will be out in the mail to Evelyn tomorrow. I have a picture do you want to see them or do you want it to be a surprise.

I think we're safe to say we're on our own timeline now.

I have Melinda's blocks here but haven't even gotten a chance to start. It's spring break and I'm trying to finish as many clinical hours as possible - if I can get 5 days in, I will only have 3 days left to do after this week.

I am ready for this schedule crunch to be over! DH is deploying in just over a month (and 2 weeks before finals) and so while the classes are easy, it feels like everything is just being so rushed and crammed to fit into the smallest possible timeframe.

Me, way ahead - LOL - with all the projects I have over the next few months I kind of feel like Kelly - trying to cram as much as I can in the time I have - though I can't imagine trying to gt ready for my hubby to deploy.

Hang in there Kelly and enjoy the time between now and deployment when you can.

If you want to post pics go for it. I know we all like eye candy. I forgot to take pics before I shipped Evelyn's to you.

Ok, I'll get it opened and take pictures here in the next day or two. I decided to take Friday off and get my hair done. I think that 4-7.5 hour days is enough for one week.

Kelly - I ship to Melinda so she has Evelyn's blocks that I forgot to take pictures of before I shipped.

You have Melinda's blocks - but post more pics anytime.

Paula,
This is the row I made. After I had shipped and was cropping this picture I discovered a boo boo. I am sorry. I hope you like them. When you get them and you don't like them let me know and I can remake you some.

Very pretty - I really like them and I don't see any mistakes

Hi ever one I received the rows you sent Melinda. Now I have to clean my sewing room. Have a good night everyone.

You clean the sewing room? Is that what I am doing wrong?:eek:

We had wooden floors put in and some of the planks was comming up well they repared it Tuesday with out telling me so they just tossed everything around and I cannot find anything ( couldnt find anything befor ) Have to put sewing machine back and......... so I have to clean up there mess.

That sounds frustrating.

a little warning would have been nice before they messed up (LOL) your sewing room.

Hello ladies. Just peaking in to see all the pretty rows. (Wish I'd known you needed an extra. I would have joined in. ) Looks like you devised a good plan anyway. That's the spirit. Can't wait to see more.

Hello ladies. Just checking in to see how everyone is doing since we have been so quiet lately. I am looking forward to receiving Melinda's blocks from Kelley soon.

I am hoping to have them finished by the end of next week. End-of-semester things are creeping up on me a little faster than I'd realized. :)

No worries Kelly - I can remember the pressure of semester's end - and quilting is supposed to be fun.

Actually, I did some lazy pressing when I made the strip sets so when I sewed the first 6 blocks together, they were wayyyy too small and I've been procrastinating. I got all the blocks together tonight and am finishing up on the frames so hopefully by Saturday they'll be finished. We've had some really weird weather the last few weeks and it's given me a case of the don't-wanna's can't-make-me's. I needed a reason to snap out of it!

LOL - lazy pressing - love that expression and I have done it many times myself.
I am stuck on a baby quilt that just needs the binding but of course I ran out of the fabric I want to use for it and have to wait until payday to get more.
My round for my Round Robin is giving me a math headache. I know what I want to do but need figure the right sizes so it will fit. I hate it when I have to use 5/8" or 9/16" instead of 1/4"
I do have a lot of the center squares cut for Evelyn's blocks so I may get started on the centers since they will be scrappy then add the white edges and borders later.

I have everything packaged up and ready to go. I was going to print postage at home until I realized I didn't use a flat-rate envelope - so I will mail it out on Monday.

Melinda, I put my leftover strip-set scraps in there along with my first set of (unfinished) blocks that weren't quite the right size. I redid them but thought maybe if you do some monkeying, you might be able to use the first try blocks, too.

I meant to put the tag from my jelly roll in there - it was "Bliss" from Moda (I can't remember the designer) but now I'm not sure I did.

I also put a jelly roll in (minus 5 strips) of the Kona so Paula, you won't have to cut any of the white strips ;)

Thanks Kelly - precuts are always good - and nice of you to share the smaller blocks you made.
Melinda might be able to use your smaller blocks as cornerstones in the border.
Or on the back - that would be very pretty and help tie the two sides together.

Hi everyone, hope all is good . I have a question for Paula. Do you want our rows sew to your row? I have my five blocks sewed together. As soon as I hear I will mail

Hi Evelyn. Please do not sew them together. I plan to put sashing between each person's row, but have to wait for them to come home to make that fabric choice. Thanks for asking.

I wasnt sure. I am going to get every thing togeather and will mail today

what no photos?
