Will start sewing my 4-patches tomorrow. Then next break will start the cutting of the blocks and re-sewing of the blocks. Bye happy sewing.

I have a general question (it's a multi-part question): would you prefer the quilt blocks stay the same size from month to month? Would you rather the February/Valentines block be 8 1/2"?

Thanks!

Jane

I like the idea of varying the size - it will add another "difference" to the finished quilts.

l also like varying sizes. Say for the valentine blocks one could make a wall hanging or a nice table cover.

ack, after getting out my "brights" I realized that a trip to the not so LQS will be in order. 2 of my brights I thought I could use are a touch too pastel bright. And one is too dark I feel. and one is almost a duplicate lime green.
oh well, it could be worse, any excuse to go to the fabric store. lol

Hi Nelda, if you look at the ones posted on the first page, they are arranged differently than yours. all the colour should be in the same quadrant. I don't know how you switched them. but it looks to me very different than the ones posted. Maybe a more experienced quilter can help. You started out ok and cut ok, Just the arrangement looks different. hope someone can help

Nelda your middle strips need to be changed, the black and red to the bottom and the blue and white to the top. Think when you cut you just put them it the wrong place but the cutting is right, just wrong placement.
