Great job Teen. I only noticed your little fix it after you pointed it out. But, It doesn't look wrong. I thought it was supposed to be there. So, great fix.

Teen that is looking so beautiful!

Here is a link to the presser foot I bought awhile back for my machine.

I came upon a product called Wonder Tape. Any of you ever used that for curved piecing?

Thank you, all! And, thank you, Christine for the link. I'll check it out... Anael...I saw wonder tape somewhere, I don't recall, and didn't really pay attention to the use. Looks like it's water soluble so that's good. May work really well on curves.

Last evening, I prepped some applique to take with me. I, also, dug in my stuff and found another applique kit of Classic Santa's I bought at a local quilt guild show awhile ago. They only had 5 of the Santa blocks but I found a a website that sells all the BOM block patterns so I'll buy the patterns when I get home for the 7 I need and use my stash. So, it looks like I'm good to go for crafting while traveling.

:D You go girl :D :D What will your Santa's be? Wall hanging? Do you have a picture?

I was at the LQS, looked if they had the wonder tape but they didn't. I guess I just have to get better at curved piecing!

Here's the Santa quilt I'll make....tho, I'm not going to buy the pieced block patterns....just the 7 Santa patterns I need. I'll pick out the 12 & 6 inch blocks to use with it. I have my SBS pattern book to chose from...lol...

Teen, please share where the Santa block patterns are from. I would love to make my grands a Santa quilt. I've tried to host a swap here for Santa blocks only. (But, it was not approved. It can only be classified as "Winter".) I already have a ton of Snowmen blocks. I still need to make it into a quilt.

Oops, I found your link. Sorry.

They've got some neat patterns on this website. Several I really like, namely the 4 different seasons applique quilts and a couple of the Baltimore Album quilts. I may buy all the patterns of 4 seasons, too. Lordy...

:D Teen, I saw Winter and Summer, not Spring or Autumn.

I had another look at the GW strips and studied the one with the white/off white/light grey strips again. There's no cohesion in the quilt, it looks like the blocks are scattered on a white piece of fabric.

I think I know why the block with the dark blue starry fabric looks out of place. It's not that block, it's the Crazy Anne block. The white fabric with the light blue dots needs to be replaced! So that's what I'm going to do. The Starry Night block can stay..........:)
One more strip and section 10 is done. I just need to decide what colour to use for that strip.
