Showbizgirl I love the Christmas fabrics. They would make some very pretty candle wreaths. Dotty your Christmas quilt will be amazing. Dotty Love the bag, I like making my own so I can add lots of pockets and slots for pens and such. Jordan your blocks look so good. Can't wait to see the final quilts. Marcia I'm afraid I'm gonna have to snatch up that lavender quilt. They all look so different even though it's the same patterns. Thanks for taking the time to show us all the nice pictures ladies.

Yay, a block show from Jordan! They are so pretty. I LOVE your fabrics.

The fresh lilacs block is a beauty too.

Dotty, love the tote. I really like how it's zippered inside but has all the outside area as pockets. At least, that's what I think I'm seeing.

Marcia, it was me who posted the Christmas fabrics. At Thousands of Bolts I think they sell their yardage by the whole yard. I bought whole yards.... But they also have a section of FQs and end of bolt pieces that are less than a yard. And they have "fat packs" of 10 FQs for $13.95- $15.95. They have themed FQs, including Civil War and 30's. Great site. Fun to look at, anyway.

lawsonmugs, I think your grouping shows a nice balanced variety of backgrounds and colors. You certainly can arrange them any way you like.
JQ, Lovely fabric on that one! The background is bee's knees. Very pretty.
Connie, you've got nice contrast on that one.
Dotty, good work on your construction every time. Another block with great points on the triangles!
Jordan, Your collection of blocks is fun to see! Your quilt is going to have a great antique, vintage look.
Battle Axe, I like seeing your busy sewing table with all the scraps! :-)

Here are my last two blocks. Thank you Sewbizgirl for sharing that I don't need to use a scant 1/4 inch seam with an Accuquilt Go, everything went together perfectly! The pictures of the blocks look kinda wonky but they are square. Jan[ATTACH=CONFIG]574614[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]574615[/ATTACH]

Oh drool! Score sewbizgirl. All of them are gorgeous. Will you use them in a BOOM swap?

Not this time... I'm sending in florals. But I will be making charity quilts from the Christmas fabric.

Love the idea of florals. Come to think of it, I saw your selections, one modern and one more traditional, right? I love that idea. I go crazy with all the shipping etc. plus I have lots of fabric but very little the right size.
