    I don't know about "pretties" but here are mine. I substitued All Those Squares (from QuiltersCache) for Kansas. I wanted to have some farm scenes (and quite honestly I didn't want to do y-seams).[ATTACH=CONFIG]346316[/ATTACH]

    JanRN, I love your substitution block with the farm scenes and the fabric in lightening looks so dramatic, just like a lightening storm. Great job on both!!

    Here are mine. I messed up on lightening. When I squared it I took too much off the right hand side so I'm going to do it over but you get the gist of it.
    I still need more practice adding corner squares on Kansas.

    Thank you both for such nice comments.
    Termi, congrats--your Kansas block it great. You have nice colors and good contrast and you nailed those **blasted y- seams. I really like the colors you used in Lightning.

    I played my game of guessin' which blocks belong ta who.
    Jan - I love the contrast in your Lighting. When i first saw your 'All those squares " I thought that Artemcasa was back.(Has anyone heard from her?) They are awesome farm scenes!
    Termi - Ya nailed 'em!!! Lovely blocks.
    mirabelle - I knew that those were yours right off. Beautiful!

    JanRN ... what a pretty alternate block and I'm sure you knew I'd love to see the farm scenes! Angry stormy sky there!

    Termi ... Well done on that Kansas block! Looks nice and flat, straight, square and pointy in all the right places! OOPS on the lightening ... it happens! Nice effect with the bandana fabric.

    MiraB ... <sigh> what else do we say when we see your beautiful blocks! Always so beautiful and this week, no exception!

    Kansas? ... As I looked at it ... if anyone wants to do it and avoid Y-seams. you could switch it to HSTs and still get the same look, just more seams!

    ... no, not a word from ArteEC. I know she was dealing with family health problems.

    Anael ... Me-thinks this should be about now that you'll be back from holidays? Do hope you had a wonderful time and got lots of R+R and are now ready to R .......... esume! "D

    You're right QuiltE, I'm back and I kind of fell off the Pony wagon. I have a lot of catching up to do! I think I have 36 blocks so do the math LOL. I just made a to-do list as I'm behind of lots of projects
    The weather in France was great, lots of sunshine, only one day cloudy and no sunshine. We weren't very active, mostly beach and a walk in the evening so yes, lots of R + R
