    Nice I'm liking the way this is looking can't wait to see more of it :)

    Still think you're nuts using that size blocks, but guess the world does need a few nuts as it makes life and quilts more interesting ;)

    And what block is that? So far I have posted three different ones. I found these in a book of squares and they have the measurements in a number of sizes. I am still not sure what I was thinking when I decided to do the 7 inch one.

    dvseals, I always figured I was a little cracked, it is good to know that I have confirmation on it.

    I am close to getting ready to take more pictures, there is a few more pieces to this one if you want to believe it. I am going to leave the counting to someone else.

    So here it is. The next little bit to the current square. If I keep working it should be done before supper tonight. of course it is just after two now so that leaves me lots of time to finish the 15 squares.

    Might be time to buy one of those small irons to help protect your tips. It looks real good though. DH declared a "holy cow, that's small" lol.

    Yes a clover mini iron is a handy tool to have when working on small pieces.

    I will have to look into buying one since I seem to have a thing for this kind of block. So note to self, buy a clover mini iron.

    So I am moving right along and have a chance at still getting it done before supper. The kids came home etc and took up some time, they are all occupied now. and there is only a little left in the block to do.

    They are a 7" square, I was in a strange mood when I was picking fabric so who knows what it will all look like when I am done.

    There is a quarter in the pictures to show how small we are talking about.
