I am here to say if you didn't PM me for my new address, didn't mail to the Ralston, WY address I think April did not send corrections. So PM if you still need my address please!!!
I received five squishies at the Ralston Address. I am going there for dinner tonight - actually we are all going out for delicious Mexican food oh yeah! margarta bowls here we come! oh they don't deliver it in punch bowls anymore? dang.. a trough will be fine
I promise to let everyone know whose fabric came in when I get home. Five I wonder what tomorrow holds for me?? two blocks that is my daily limit before I flop over. I will do two more on Monday and Tues and Wed (do you detect a pattern here?).
I hope everyone takes serous the need for a uniform 12.5 block that your returning. I know you may think your checking it but I can truly say the best way to keep up on not redoing that block is to check your cut is it accurate? are you using an accurate 1/4 inch seam? put painters tape on your machine if you need help seeing that edge. Also there are a ton of videos available for free on line on how to cut, sew and MEASURE your finished block. I know its harping but I just put boom 8 together. Only 21 of my blocks were 12.5" some were a lot bigger some 3/4" inch smaller. I received back over 35 blocks. If you need help trying to figure out how to square something up so its even on all sides ask!! if you whack a bunch off on one side then you might take the points or edges of your block off leaving an uneven block. We all try our very hardest. Its easy to just guess its the right size. Take your time. This is the no rush group.if you have time I also suggest making one practice or four practice 12.5 inch blocks to make sure you have it down before you start cutting for the swap. Any quilt store near you will also give you tips on how to do this and the advice well its free take it!!! ok off my lecture box and back into margarta bowls.
happy sewing! off to sew Marytoddliz's block. I think Aqua is the way to go in my minds eye or maybe the pretty purple. Her little grand daughter is a total kick. She is perfect for a high energy quilt that little one! oh oh MB I got your fishies today in the mail Muchas Gracias Amore!
