I have been admiring your Peace and Healing quilts. I did not appear on the scene until that was history. So this a.m. Debbie had some CDs on sale and I bought the P & H one. That should keep me busy for a while as the blocks are quite small, aren't they??

So what does everyone else do in the face of such tragedy? I buy more fabric. Went to two quilt shops yesterday and bought half a yard at one and 6 3/4 at the other. I had plenty of time to look at this one Amish place and she had some of the honeysuckle fabric by Blank Quilting. I bought 3 more colors. That makes 7 colors.

I think buying fabric is an excellent way to channel your energy or anger or what ever is boiling up inside you. But that is my opinion and I have no one to answer to.

Well I finally got to work on #3. I'm going to maybe lose a point on the bottom edge. I haven't trimmed it up yet. My neutrals were delivered 2 days ago so I can start on my alternate bocks this weekend. I don't like waiting and doing them all at the end. Gets to boring. I'll make a few at a time through out the process. Hope you enjoy the picture and post some of your too. I love seeing them.:thumbup::):)

So pretty, Mary!

Sewbizgirl take a look at my profile, and everyone else. I've got my latest project half done and on there.

Mary, I really like how your blocks are coming along. Btw, I think one of your logs is in the wrong place.
I have all my alternate blocks done in purple & black. Ran out of purple; was using the same fabric for the "chains". So haven't done the half blocks. Looking for something that is close in color and discovered there is a blue undertone to it, so it might be a problem. The funny thing about this is I had at least 30 choices to pick from in my stash and I pick one that is not enough. And that was after calculating how much I would need.

I have also joined this block of the week. I have the first three blocks and all of the alternate blocks finished. I bought the kit and the colorsc

Beautiful projects, Marcia! Love your giant dahlia, too... :cool:

[QUOTE=Abigail's Mimi;7920734]I have also joined this block of the week. I have the first three blocks and all of the alternate blocks finished. I bought the kit and the colors are gorgeous! I have also started making the blocks from my stash for as second one in blue and yellow. I have to figure out how to post pictures.

Someone asked the question of putting the fabric in bags. I followed Debbie's directions and put each blocks fabric in a separate bag before the direction for the blocks were posted. It has been so easy to just pull the bag for the current block and have the fabric needed ready to be sewed.

[QUOTE=Abigail's Mimi;7920738]Hi Abigail's Mimi, we sure hope you learn how to post pictures! Would love to see your blocks in the kit fabrics.
