Teen did you use the apliquick also for the hexies and clamshells? I think so.........LOL.

The Courthouse Steps block is perfect for learning to sew straight and with a scant seam. My block has a clear waist and is 1/4" too small on one side. Back to the machine and toss this one :D :D

Anael...yes, I did. With the clamshell, you only need to turn the top, sides on shells on the edge, and bottom row. The hexi was a bit challenging to keep matched tips but it's doable, obviously. I just made sure to use ruler and cut stabilizer using template to ensure they came out the same size. Cutting out by hand is not necessary since there are no curves. You could still do the method then hand sew (Not)...jus saying...lol.. (Don't forget to hollow out the stabilizer on each of these blocks... I did a really thin edge of stabilizer on both and both blocks are pliable and scrunchy.)

I cleaned today and only finished one block. The last block is the square Daisy block so I'll be finishing this up tomorrow and assembling the sections. I need to start the border so that will be my weekend project.

QB acting weird for me today...picture didn't post....here's the block I did today.

And, I hear you about octopus.. I keep looking at my classic Santa WIP and wanting to get on that...and the Happy Birds....endless..lol..

Love your latest floral block. Too cute.

Thank you, Bluebell!

Great job Teen. I can't believe how much you've gotten done already. It looks wonderful.

Oh Lordy...I got impatient and finished the last block tonight . I seriously like how this block turned out but the green corners may draw the eye too much. Wished I'd use more of this fabric in the quilt. It appears in stems and such but I think it's so pretty. hind sight..I need to see in daylight then I'll decide.. Anael...you'll notice. I changed the center from a square to a circle. . Looked funky with a square in the middle with all these dots and it was a pain so...done with it. Lol.. Tomorrow...assembling...Yahoo!!

Judith....thank you, so much.... You've been very encouraging through this project. Such a sweetie... I hope you'll be starting your Happy Flowers quilt soon.
