I am very happy to hear that the blocks will be arriving today, Janice! I am sorry for all the extra work to get these posted into the gallery. I have never done so many of the same block all at once and I was surprised at how quickly they came together. The key is having HOURS to sit at the sewing machine to get them done. 15 minutes a day doesn't cut it. Thank you all for giving me something pleasant to work on. I hope my blocks all play nicely with your other blocks.

Roses, it looks like all the blocks are in the gallery. If you check and see that one of yours wasn’t posted, please repost and I’ll add it in. Also, if one is misnamed, let me know that as well. I’ll fix it! Hopefully you like what you see in the gallery.

Oh, what a glorious block show from Ibex! Worth the wait! Thank you for my blocks, Ibex! I especially love the log cabin with the sunshine on one side and the undersea world on the other. All of your blocks are beautiful. Do you have the Hunter's Star
Go! cutter die for the HS blocks you made?
If you get bumped frequently, please let PatriceJ know it's happening. I wrote to her this morning, but if some others would let her know as well, she won't think it's just me!
Janice we love our gallery. Thank you so much for making it and keeping it up for us! Going there now to visit all the blocks....

Ibex - great finish. I love the hunters star and have never attempted it. Do you PP it or cut templates??
Away for four days with RV group, and spending extra time with Quilling group making snowflakes and cards. Cleaned up sewing room and attempted to organize all the bits and pieces from making the blocks. Also putting together winter travel projects. of course I think putting together the projects is the most fun!!
I normally do 2.5 "binding. Sew on back and bring to front. I always loved hand sewing the front down but arthritis doesn't always allow. My top stitch on the front ends up being a sew line along the back side of binding. It actually looks neater than when I go on and off the back binding!!

Thank you Ibex for the Hunter's Star block 
. From time to time I think about using the same pattern for multiple block but wasn't sure that would be OK. You certainly have making the Hunter's Star block down pat. Thank you again. It will be fun to balance all of my Stars blocks into one or two quilts.
