i wanted to post a pic of these blue fabrics i have - they might look like a blue tone on tone with just a dark blue but the are really blue with black.

i wanted to post because it has stars and the other kinda looks like fireworks.

please let me know if i can use them.

i don't care either way i have other blue that i can use that is either blue on blue or just solid blue.

i just want you all to be happy with the fabric.

so let me know either way.

thank you

blue with some black

I just wanted to give you a heads up. I sure am not the authority or anything.

You also have to be careful with seams. A lot of hers use the scant .25" seam, if you don't they come out a smidgen small. Ask me how many of my orphan blocks are a result of this :-D :-D (Hint: Most of them!) :-D

i'm going to use the block that is in EQ7 and follow those directions instead of the pattern from Quilters Cache.

I'm new to this. How many people and how many different blocks? How do you keep track of who makes what when your instructions say:

Please do not sign up until you have your block sets finished and ready to mail.

???????
