Wow there are so many pretty squares already. There will be some beautiful quilts made from them. This is the first time I have had time to look and I love all of them Tslowery, both of your new ones are beautiful . Also the black and white quilt pictures , liked all of the blocks in it. Just hope I can do as well, a little bit nervous here, but looking forward to it. Went to the web site and couldn't believe how many squares they have, great site. I am leaning towards Magic Square if that is alright and no one else is doing it.

Thanks

Woo Hoo! Congrats. :D

Mine hasn't come yet and I have vowed to not break into the 6 different black and whites I got a few weeks ago for a specific quilt. I'll just have to wait for the new stuff and hope it comes tomorrow.

Ninnie

pittsburgpam. I saw the material that you ordered and it is beautiful. Hope to look for some tomorrow at Hobby Lobby. They don't have a large selection here, but will keep my fingers crossed. Can't wait to see your blocks with that material.

Ninnie ~ What Hobby Lobby do you go to? I was at the one in Kannapolis about a week ago. Boy - they are really letting their inventory dwindle down. Surprising too -since they are next to a WalMart with NO fabric.

Well, have done one block, what a mission! I'm a little undecided now if I can actually get 12 of these produced (this one is a test and it's a whole 1/8th shy of the 12 1/2)

The first one was bound to be more difficult, especially with no pattern to follow, so I expect they would get easier. And the beauty of it is there's no points on the outside line so putting it with another block will be a breeze.

I would like to join in the B. and W. exchange. Prairie Queen would be my choice of block from Quilters cache.com. I don't know how to put the web sight up. Sorry. Hope I'm not to late. I enjoyed the Blue and White exchange so much!

I'd like to join but you are all scaring me with those fancy blocks. How about a plain old checkerboard? Would that be okay? What fun this sounds like! Where are you two from North Carolina? My daughter is in Greensboro.

You did a great job in the design and execution!!!

Since the left and bottom pieces don't really need to tie into anything else on the outside you could make those strips wider/longer and then square it up to 12 1/2".

I know what you mean about doing a complicated block though. I chose a simple one because doing one of them is really easy... doing a dozen is a whole 'nother story.

BlueChicken

Doh! Of course.... if I replace the last strip on each side then it will be 12.5. If I make more I'll just leave a bigger allowance to trim down to the right size.
I'm still very undecided though.... it's the time that's the problem.
