Block 5 Double X was a lot easier than that block 13. Block 5 went together very quickly.

Love your Christmas block DottyD. I bet your quilt is going to be so beautiful. I have all of my blocks caught up and took pics but waiting for someone in my house to help me post them. I was out of town for 4 weeks so I did some super duper fast sewing to get done. Can't wait until tomorrow to see the new block.

Very nice Barb. Love those colors. Jordan, don't forget to post the pictures, we all love seeing the blocks.

Morning all. Block 16 has been posted and I have noticed an error.
Block A should be 1- 2" x 33" Brown 1 ( not Neutral ) and 1 - 2" x 33" Blue.
I have contacted Debbie - I was awake earlier than most of you here in the UK - LOL !!!!

Thanks so much Jordan and all who have replied re my blocks. I love being part of a group - so much inspiration !

Another block done. When I started sewing these blocks, I needed a faster way to make HST's. So I found the oversize method of making 8 at a time. For a couple of the blocks, I made 8 when I only needed 4, so 4 sets of those found a home in this quilt. It was more fun just to trim up the HST's and not have to make them from scratch. Here is block 6 Flying X. Got 7 of 16 made now. Too bad that after today I will be away from my sewing machine for a week. I think I could have gotten caught up. Oh well, I still have two weeks before the last block comes out.

Great block Barb... I just bought some of that light brown squiggly that you used for your "X"! I'm going to use it to sash (join) a QAYG I am working on.

Thanks for the head's up on the errors, Dotty. I'm sure she will issue a correction. I usually don't read the instructions anyway, just look at the illustrations and make the block my own way. :p

[ATTACH=CONFIG]578230[/ATTACH]I thought this block was tough. This is my rendition in Fresh Lilac colors. I'm getting behind. I guess that is a good thing since I hadn't started on the newest one. We are winding down. Should be getting instructions for our sashing and borders soon??
