Very nice blocks Colletta and Mareliba. Thanks for reposting Colletta.

Now that all summer visitors are gone, I need to get started on my blocks again.

Wish I had more to show 'n tell, but I struggled with this block yesterday (I had off work) and was only able to do the one block.

That's pathetic.

Well, here it is:

Who is it for?

Cordelia

Oh, it's the Grandmother's Cross for mghrs, red/white and blue w/white background.

... and these too.

I have a pink embroidered butterfly block that I posted a picture of too that I can't find on my pc at the momement ...

Cordelia,
They look great! Don't feel bad...I struggled w/ Grandmother's Cross too. I took mine apart and remeasured everything--reassembled it, and it came out right-- :shock: quilting gods at work?? :lol:

Great blocks Cordelia.

Well, I've missed seeing this thread for several days..maybe weeks..anyway, all the new blocks look great! I've been playing with TP and such :oops: and not doing what I should be doing. I only have a couple more blocks to do though...maybe next week :lol:

I took it apart three or four times.

The first time, I didn't assemble it right and got two blues stuck together.

So, I ripped it out.

Then I'm not consistent with my "scant" quarter inch seam. The second attempt measured 13 inches. Then I decided I'd just make a pillow out of it and start over.

Mom took it apart and I sewed it up again. I did better the third time. Got it to 12 3/4 inches. I ripped it out again and the fourth time was the charm, though I'm not happy with one of the corner pieces. It measures 12.5".

I may rip it apart again and try a new corner piece.

I've been looking over a lot of the other blocks I need to do yet and all but one of them require half square triangles.

I'm getting to where I'm like, if I can't paper piece or Thangle it, I don't want to do it.

:wink:

I'm sorry my block was such a hassle. I thought it would be easier since there were not many triangles but I quess I was wrong.

Thanks for redoing it so many times, I love it!!!!!
