Oh, I go the really hard way.. :lol: I buy the package in the grocery called Bread & Butter pickles. You just add vinegar and sugar and cut up your cucs. . jar them, then water bath processing. I haven't made any in years. We don't eat that many...I thought I would make some to give as gifts. I hate for anyone visiting our house to leave empty handed.

Love bread and butter pickles - will be over soon!!!! Was near Middleton in March.

Mareliba, here is the No Name Block #2, I promised to have done soon! You have a good eye, I was a bit concerned about this one, but I think it turned out just great. http://bp2.blogger.com/_q_ISANhSeTs/...20/Noname2.jpg

Beautil Elizabeth!! Love the colors.

Beautiful block Elizabeth, I love the colors too!

Ya'll just head on over here...I'm sure I can find something laying around for you to leave with! For you guys...it could be FQ's instead of pickles:mrgreen: Or...maybe you like pickles better :D

Somewhere around here I have my Grandmother's recipe for freezer pickles and I'd take those pickles over fat quarters any day! But only if they were those pickles!

Thank you, I really liked that gold color, infact I paid extra to have it just for that block, and it's been great to work with it. I think I used it in someone elses block too. but I'm not remembering.... OH! GooseCreek for Deb! Truly a good combination as picked by maribella, I'm so glad I clarified with her on which colors where.

I need some help. This is the No Name Block #2 for Marianne. It turned out to be 12 1/2 inches, but I lost some of the points. I think I messed up when i sewed on the blocks in the corners of the green squares. The blocks kept coming out too small, so I redid them making adjustments. Can someone give me some tips on how to do this part?

Don't worry Marianne. I intend to redo this block. :) If you don't like that color green, let me know, and I'll try another shade.

Eliz. that block you made turned out beautiful!!!
Puzwhiz maybe cut blocks 1/8 in bigger than needed and then cut down so you will not loose your points!!!

ladies all your blocks are beauitful ,im thinking of saving some money and not buy more fabrics and instead invest in a good camera to beable to show pictures and learn to post ,great job girls if i ever open a quilt company you,r all hirded to work for me nellie lol :D :D :D

Okay, Bebe gave me a tip. After drawing the diagonal line on the 2 1/2 in. block, sew onto the corner of the 4 1/2 in. block, but sew on the inside of the line, not on the line. It worked!! Yea!! Here is the test sample I did. Now I feel better about the block and I can redo it. Thanks, Bebe. You da bomb!!
