Ninnie, if you'd been 100% on your game, during all this, you'd be finished. I'm amazed that you're so quick, as well as accurate. Will you consider doing a tutorial for us? If Amma can do them, you can too. You already have some of the pics you'd use.

It's a gorgeous block! Please show more!

That's going to be a really special quilt! The dark blue and white look so crisp together! Keep posting pics of your progress, please!

I hope this makes sense.

When I make a quilt with this many pieces, i do try to stay organized.
I keep all the pieces in plastic sandwich bags.

Then I only take out the number of pieces that I need for the block.

Then I lay them out and make sure they are in the right place and turned in the right directions, since placement is everything in this quilt.

then I take them up one row at a time , starting at the bottom, and placing a pin in them. All except for the top block

Then I sew the first row.

then I sew the second row, and place it on top of the first row. I pin all the seam lines, and all the seams, making sure they are turned in the right directions, being toward the navy.

there are 5 rows to this block, and I do all of them this way, and when I am done, there is the block :D :D

I now almost have the first row done, and will try to post it tomorrow.

Good Tute Ninnie!!! You are a very organized quilter!!! I can follow your steps so easily, love all of the pictures, too :D :D :D

I only take close ups, so you cannot see my lack of organization :shock: :oops: I still need to learn to post a tute the way you just did... :wink:

Ninnie

:oops: :oops: :oops: thank you, amma, but I didn't know that was a Tute. I was just answering a question. :roll: :roll:
I consider that great praise coming from you! :D :D

Ninnie, you answered two of us by doing the tutorial. Pat yourself on the back. What is the name of this quilt block?

How are you feeling this evening? You're a survivor, go Ninnie!

Oh great, its so nice to see someone else does this the slow looong way like I do. I lay out my blocks exactly like you do...only I'm too scared to pin them together like you. I lay out the block and pick it up piece by piece and row by row to sew it together. I just know I'd get myself all messed up if I tried to pin the rows in a stack...my seam ripper could tell you a thing or two! Like you, with this type of block, I pin all my seams..well, sometimes I cheat and just nest them together.

Hope you are feeling well enough to do some more and post some more tomorrow! Yes...darn rain!!!
