When I was in college, I volunteered every year with the freshman orientation program. One of our rules was, "Clap for everyone like you're clapping for your best friend." I loved that quote, and it's always stuck with me.

OMG I not done laughing yet! You are so funny french fry- hope the "brat" says yes. She should since she was the one that asked :D She'll want you to sew and she will cook I think. That woman knows her spices, trust me, she can cook circles around me for flavor and intensity. Only wish I was that smart. I just put in on the old Bar-b-que with a little steak or chicken flavoring and say ta-da...it's done!

You gals crack me up and after the week I have had I really needed the laugh - TY

Brat - Yes, I have Kelly's and it does not have any curves - all sharp angles but placed so as to give the illusion of curves/movement. Neat trick however the size has given me a little hiccup.

I have my regular pieces and my appliqued rose corner stones done and ready to attach however I have to come up with a piece (x4 since I need one for each side) that measures 5 1/2" by 6 1/2" unfinished. Oh and it has to coordinate with the other pieces!

Really struggling with it but I should have it done by the time this weekend is over. (fingers crossed)

Thought I measured correctly, what did I do wrong? :( Please let me know now so I don't do it again.

Jaba - there is nothing wrong with what you did.

The total measurement of the center is 29 1/2 x 29 1/2 which is not divisible by three so I have to do some "fudging" with one section of my border to make it balanced visually.

My fault for not stating when we started this that all center measurements should be divisible by three. This makes it easier to make pieced borders - I now know.

Very pretty, it's on my bucket list.
