[QUOTE=Teen;8018124]Pretty fabric used in your blocks, Donna!! That first one is one of my favorite blocks so far that I did.
I'm with you, Teen. Mother's Delight turned out to be a really pretty block. I'm enjoying being exposed to so many new ones. I'll be interested to see your border idea. I haven't even given a thought to how I will end this project - it's just too far in the future.

6 more completed...though New Mexico was a bit challenging...it finished just under 6 1/2 so good enough for me. Remind me to never do this block again until I have 20 years experience. Just saying...

Ha! And even with so many years......
Love your blocks Teen! Very well done. Don't ask how many of my blocks finished under 6.5".......
Did I tell I started Sylvia right after I started piecing? So it was a huge learning curve!

I've seen your blocks, Anael.....no way would I have guessed you just started piecing. Your blocks looked wonderful.. Most of my blocks are finishing close to or exact. If they don't, I do it again. I've re-made a few I couldn't live with. No way was I gonna re-do NM...I hated that block....I may do another block and just replace it. I've gone through my blocks and fixed some that I overlooked missed seam matching but other than that, we'll see what this will look like. New Mexico block is probably a lot easier as a 12 1/2".... Lol!!

Awwww thank you Teen!! The one I hated the most was that Peter/Paul block. I even don't remember the exact name, something with robbing.....hahahaha. I really, really hated that one. There were more I didn't like but that one.......arghhhhhhhhhh 
Some blocks are easier when larger. That's another option: substitute 4 blocks for 1 12.5" block.....hahaha
