JJBlaine, do you have a block loc ruler? I have the 2.5" one and love using it for the small HST. I'm doing the "Sylvia's Bridal Sampler" now and sure wish I had had to long ago.
It sure makes trimming those 1.25" and smaller HST much easier.
Doing the SBS makes me appreciate the instructions provided for the 365 challenge blocks.

WOW! That is a lot of blocks and they are all very nice and color coordinated. You sure are keeping up with the challenge. I can't even keep up with the monthly BOM that are offered!!! Wonderful work.

I did a similar challenge last year, and managed to keep up each day, and the finished product was very big, now putting it in our local quilt show this year. I love blues, and my quilt blocks were mainly blues of all shades and a touch of green and pinks.
I love how you have used your colors from your stash and your quilt will be beautiful - do not let yourself get discouraged - your work is lovely - thanks for sharing, and please do come back with more blocks as you complete them.

You are off to a fantastic start! It's way out of my league to do those tiny blocks, but I'm registered on the site and enjoying her bits of information about the history of many of the blocks. I can't even keep up with a BOM, as I've proven to myself time and again. As soon as they offer one I don't care for, I drift off to do my own thing and rarely give it a second glance. The best I can hope for is to keep making blocks the same size and color range as others in my stash and eventually have enough for a sampler quilt.
