Awwww.....Some furrkids just can't stand for your attention anywhere else.

Emma, the 3 1/2" blocks I was referring to are Judy's mystery train blocks. It might help to separate dark and medium dark from just medium.

Sunliten: Just buy another box of oatmeal. You don't even have to remove the oatmeal, think of it as storage.
Thimblebug: Such great pictures, can't believe he actually fell asleep in your arms. I'm almost sure, that's not a ergonomic way to sew.
Whitepine: Got you this time, I knew perfectly well, why you were doing the squares. I'm doing Judy's mystery too. She designs such great quilts, no way would I miss one of hers.

Got rid of the double sashing... here are my first two rows. My quilt will be 4 blocks x 5 blocks.

It is so much fun seeing everyone's colours and quilts! I didn't have the time during the holidays and am just starting mine.

Whitepine - Liked your pics! Great idea to do a value study by using a black & white photo - puts everything into perspective - I will have to try it in the future. A friend of mine, who is very good with colour values, did GI in black and white fabrics and the results are amazing!

Thimblebug6000 - love the pics of your grand dog!! They are so expressive!! You have a great sewing buddy!!

Love your version, I am doing the same size, how are you going to fit the borders?

New dilemma. Finished piecing a 3 x 4 block top, sorry my camera is broken so I cannot post a picture.

Thought I would piece together blocks with the remainder and was able with some additional chevrons to make 12 more blocks. I thought I would just have enough for a 2 x 3 block top that I would give to charity. Now what to do?????

My center is all together, first border on. I am working on the outer border. I plan to double the border and place the pinks together to make a mirror image of Bonnie's pieced border to make my quilt just a bit bigger. Not sure about the cornerstones yet. Maybe I will keep the blacks together?

The blacks together for sure. If it needs to be larger than that I will add another golden yellow border.
