Thank you, Jane.

OK, they are fun. You should jump in and join us. Doesn't take much time to make a 10" block. I love that size!

What pretty bright blues, Connie. Your brown looks like a wood frame. I really like that block.

Sew!!! fun. I want to get ahead of myself and put some sashing on. I have the dark brown corner squares cut. So far we have made all the blocks in the middle row.

The Fresh lilacs fabrics had a couple of prints with those stripes in them. So I fussy cut them for my border.

That's true... we have a whole diagonal row made now! Is anyone working on the border? I thought I would, but haven't so far.

Nope I am not working on the border yet. It would be nice to do so as you go so the whole border is not left as one big project.

This block wasn't people's favorite, but they all turned out great!

sewbizgirl, I just love that fabric framing your second block!

Boy it sure is quiet here today. Maybe a little more action Saturday when there are less people working. Can't wait to see more blocks posted on here. Have a good weekend everybody.

And then not long til the next block comes out....

Tonight I decided to make use of the many scraps I have, so I attacked the 2" strip drawer. I've cut all the ones I can into 10.5" lengths to make quilt blocks for a charity quilt. Next, I need to find something to do with all my 2.5" strips. Really want to get these sewn up!

Yes, it has been a little quiet, I have had a few teething problems with a new computer and the change over. But I just wanted to thank you for the lovely comments re my Christmas fabrics and blocks. The different fabrics you are all choosing are so nice and there are going to be some lovely quilts made.
In the meantime I have made one bag and nearly finished another from a free tutorial on YouT**e by Debbie Shore called * A zippered, lined tote bag * it has turned out very well and I am pleased to have fairly successfully put in two zips in each bag LOL ! Looking forward to Mondays block.
