I think that looks pretty awesome, like it just the way it is.

Twinriverfarm, just checked tracking and my center should be at your house today!

Nope, Miss Jaba, It isn't here yet... wahhhh. I have great hopes for tomorrow, though. I finished my center today, going with a red/white/blue star center, but with a civil war reproduction tone to it. So the colors are more muted,more cream than white, more maroon than red, if that makes sense. Will try to post pictures tomorrow and get it in the mail. I am working a split shift tomorrow, so will rush home for the mailman.

Hi Sandyin24! I am including strips and scraps of the fabrics that were used in my center (it is 18 1/2 " by the way) in case you want to use any. Just pass them on to the next person if you don't use them. Any left to come home at the end will become part of a scrappy binding.

Gees, d--- PO, it was in your town yesterday, hope they decide to deliver tomorrow. I'll check delivery confirmation in the morning. Maybe you can check at work so you don't have to run if not necessary #9114901075742466417464

wow your fast. I took my center and my pinwheels to jans the other day and she agreed ..they didn't work with my center so now onto plan B. Rather figure that out NOW before I send it on and make a disaster quilt :) I am going to make blue and white spools to go around the enlongated shape of the spool will help pull out the design in my center. or I will do plan C a completely different center and the heck with it!

I am hitting a roadblock of sorts, too on putting my block together. So today will be practicing with scraps making the parts until it comes out right and I can put the red/white one together correctly. I know I am doing something wrong in the sewing together of the pieces when I attach a hst onto a triangle. I come out with no 1/4 inch on edges so if I sew it onto next piece, I will cut off the corners. Hmmm. I figure I have until Monday to get block made as that is when I plan to send it off so I will keep trying. Fingers crossed!

Just a quick note to let you all know that I received Jaba's center today! It is beautiful and it will be thrilling to come up with a suitable enhancement! And I love the journal idea, will be stealing that idea, too! OK, off to work...

So glad you got it, thanks for letting me know. I'm excited to get one soon.

Hoping to mail on Monday Jaba.
My big machine got a brain freeze and went haywire! It went to the shop today. I've already gotten a call saying it's the power supply blah blah blah and the con_____ser blah blah blah. Should have it back within 2 weeks. Hopefully this'll fix it once and for all. I've had nothing but problems since I bought this machine. UGH! I've had it a yr and a 1/2 and it's been to the shop 5x
On a brighter note, my little Janome is ready to go. I love her :) Never a problem <3
