Aww, those are so cute!!!! Good use of your scraps - are you sure you won't need them for future DJ blocks? The fabrics are awesome, too

Don't think I've ever seen Foundation Factory before. Thanks for the heads up.

Did some rotary cutting tonight. It's okay every once in a while. Ha.

Edit: Quiltswithconvicts, I definitely don't need them for Jane. New fabrics every month!

That's great! Like I said - those blocks look really great and to think they're so tiny!!! I'm quilting JJ now, so I'm taking a break from the small ones and doing the Farmer's Wife Sampler & Sylvia's Bridal Sampler, both have 6" blocks. They seem huge compared to DJ blocks and must be gigantic when compared to your 2" blocks. Keep up the great work.

Merry Christmas!

FW trips me out with its ginormous blocks as well. Last couple days I've done 12" rotary cut blocks for a BOM and really blown my mind.

I have the Sylvia book and the Dear Hannah software. This stuff is never ending. :0D

I'm about to print out another batch of 2" block patterns...

They really are addictive, aren't they? I thoroughly enjoyed hand piecing JJ, but I am enjoying getting back to my Janome 6600, too. Are you going to join us in doing "Affairs of the Heart" in June?

You all are just the nicest bunch of ladies (I don't think there are any men, are there?) on this board. And to think, we are all over the world, but it feels like we're all in the same town.

Let us see what you've done. Like I said, they're so cute!

I love Affairs of the Heart but will be completely deployment crabby at that point. Don't let me loose on a room full of women next summer. I'll take them all out. I have 2012 penciled in for a big applique project. I also have a couple dozen military blankets to make by next fall (or by spring if Dix is really cold this year).

I have seen quite a few men around here. Really like a couple of them. They need to post more often.

Here are the latest 2" blocks. House and pinwheel. I'm excited about little houses. Mucho potential there.
