Lovng, sounds like you're ready to go! I have a mug rug to stitch up and get in the mail before I stitch more of these darling blocks! :) I love having a variety of things to do...which is good because I've also got a friend having a baby in 4 weeks and a granddaughter having a birthday and both of these require a quilt, so I'm a busy girl right now...but am still finding time to stitch one block a day as I go...ha ha ha! Good thing our deadline is set a ways out? :)

I am paper piecing away every evening, but these are for a round robin swap. Anyway, it's sharpening my skills for this swap!! Maybe I can knock out a block or two by next week for this swap! I have so many patterns and possibilities, it's hard coming up with what I want to make!

Anna, sounds like you have plan...I have been pulling out various patterns and have a basket/flower blocks also that I'm going to give a try to...and an egg...had so much going on and haven't had time to sew much...but hopefully tomorrow will post my first set of blocks! Yahoo! :) Has anyone else made any blocks yet? Just curious?

Oh Rhonda, those are so beautiful. I want one I want one. Oh wait I have to sign up. Well I am in the process of a QAYG that I did wrong..had to tear it all out and start over but I want to finish that before I start on anything new. So looking at the end of the month to try some PP. I have already gotten some beautiful spring flowers patterns to try. I know I can do this.....I think I can...I think I can. I will be checking in everyday to see if anyone else posts their blocks. I need inspiration. LOL!

There's plenty of time to sign up. Another 6 weeks or so...a lot can happen in that time frame, right?

Thanks for the compliments on the blocks everyone!

Colors are a bit washed out on the monitor, but this is my first block -- 4.5" unfinished. Does it pass muster?
