Jeanie, I checked the Rosie thread earlier today. It is 10" PP blocks, but only 20 of them. I didn't look at them too closely, but discussion said you had to copy the PP patterns from the book. The PP skills I have learned doing the PC blocks I will use when faced with a block that's difficult to piece using rotary cut methods. Doubtful I will make another quilt strictly PPing. The riders on the trail have kept me going in this endeavor. Thanks so much.

Come on, Jeanie. These blocks will be easy (yea, right LOL) compared to FWS & PC. They're 10" finished (or 4" if you dare) and only 20 of them. I'm looking forward to larger blocks and a smaller quilt. Go to the thread and check out a pic of the finished quilt. FWS & Pc have been such fun rides; I want to hang out with you guys some more. Who's gonna nag me and encourage me???? Who's gonna put up with my whining????

I too am not so fond of PP and definitely don't have the bandwidth to take on a new weekly commitment even if it's only one block. I want to do a better job of keeping up with the PC riders, the BOM I'm doing, the FWQS that I have about 30 more blocks to do, and stay current with my quilting class work all while working in all of those "have toos" that crop up. Did I mention the UFO pile I want to eliminate? I have and easy time starting a project but the finishing often gets held up for some reason. Sorry Jan but I'll bet that there are others in that group to cheer you on. That seems to be the way of quilters.

Here are my blocks for this week. I redid the North Star, but it still looks kind of wonky. Much better than the first time though. I have one more BOM that I am working on, then I am all caught up with both BOM's and PC blocks. Yeah! Doing the happy dance!

The use of just brown and cream in your NS block draws attention to that lovely shade of green and the horses heads. You were spot on not to add green to the other pieces in this block. Just lovely. The white makes the field of this flag pop. Very nice on both, Jeanie.

All right I did it again! I was wonderin' why I wasn't seein' as many PC postss this week,(& was goin' into withdrawal) then I realized it is Thursday! So here I am enjoyin' all o' the lovely blocks from ya'll. I played my game & almost got 'em all right. (Jeanie I didn't recognise yours as bein' yours.) I love all o' the blocks ya'll have done.
I did want ta tell ya that I'm not gonna join the Rosie BOM but will follow it. I want ta make one eventually & most o' us PCer's are there & I want ta continue w/ ya'll. My list o' things is as long as GG's.
