Nicky, never fear of going alone. I have a feeling it will be a while before I get back to these. Have lots on my plate too. We will get there eventually.
QE, what a lovely idea. I can almost smell the pine scent!
And I'll be here to cheer you on, as you both proceed .... Don't worry, I have lots of UFOs and PhDs that are sitting and saying "what about me?" and will get back to them too!

No, I wouldn't remake the ones with the green. I had some where black pieces of the block were up against the black sashing I used. You don't see it. It's amazing how when all the blocks are together the things that we noticed on individual blocks don't stand out at all. (Thank goodness--up close & personal shows the cut off points, too). Proves the maxim the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Either of your colors look good; the green (IMHO) looks Great.

Awwww thanks JeanieG ... *blush* I just wish they would show you their true colours! The photos have changed them so. What do you think for the cornerstone colours? And further to the setting triangles? I am really pleased with how they are looking. And hope to make some more good progress this weekend, too!

You know I think a tan or light yellow that is in one of your other blocks would look good with the dark green. Cut a few of those tiny squares and just tack them up with your blocks and look at it a few days. I often have stuff on my display board a while and change them around to see what I think looks good.

Absolutely OK, I really don't know what I would do without my design wall!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have the big one 10x7-1/2 mounted on the wall ... plus those three portable offcuts that you saw in my grouping ... plus some minis that are easy to work with, for single blocks (used one to photo my BCS Mystery one.

A minor milestone here for me. I have the first 25 done and into EQ7. Not only that but have rotary cut or PP templates ready for the next 50. Yeah![ATTACH=CONFIG]357409[/ATTACH]
