Well, now I've found the "create a sense of order" blocks for my scrappy quilt. They all ended up too small, so the solid 1/2 of the Boston is bigger than the QST side. Heh. They still look cool, but they are not perfection. I just keep cutting away and practicing though. I'm learning a lot with little risk, since it's scraps.

Hi Rhonda, I am going to do this. I sent you a pm. I am doing the farmers wife too. this will be fun and I just love your block, they are so beautiful. Thank you so much for doing this, and I still am going to do the book markers. I am just about done with the small projects I have to get done. I will see if I can do them all on Monday. This is going to be so much fun. I cant wait to start this. thank you so very much again, and God bless. Penny

Hi Rhonda,
I join in but I don't know if I can keep up. My hands are not what they used to be but I do need to get back to quilting again.
I will try using my ruler but I may need to get the templates later.
Thanks for the class.

I circumvented the ease of just making a straight edge on the bottom of the QST part, then lining up and cutting out of the center. I've almost used up all the trial and error triangles though! :D

I had a friend who took my class in my home on making a coin purse and she could not quit marveling that she had actually made this little quilt block. She went home and made a bunch more coin purses and gave them as gifts to her family.
