Haven't been on for a few days, with celebrating the 4th of July, then a visit from 2 of my sisters in Florida who passed through on their way to Ohio. Hello, Sew_Pink! Looking forward to piecing along with you. The end is in sight for me - I have less than 30 blocks to go, and I will enjoy watching your blocks progress and sharing with you. Lots of nice, friendly people on this board.
Here's a tip for you and whoever comes after. There are a few PDF's for paper piecing earlier on this board: Ocean Waves, Kansas Troubles, and whatever H-7 is (can't think of it's name and don't have my book handy right now). Here is C-9, Grandmother's Pride, and H-9, Weathervane, that I got from another source.[ATTACH=CONFIG]597306[/ATTACH] As Teen pointed out once, they may need enlarged slightly to measure 6.5". On my printer, that is enlarging 103%, but it will just depend upon the printer & experimenting with it a little. Looking forward to seeing your blocks soon!

Hi DonnaPea! Good to see you again.
How many sisters do you have? I don't have sisters, only brothers. I always missed not having a sister, it seems so nice to do things together.
Thanks for posting the links to the PDF files!

Yea, Donna!!! Can you believe it? Only 30 to go....awesome. How exciting...Thanks for the PDF's Donna. I printed them out and stuck in my book should I ever go brain dead and decide to do this again....lol!
Welcome Sew-pink!!! We'll be cheering you on and looking forward to seeing your blocks. We are always curious on color choices so have you decided yet? Scrappy? I finished mine last month and still miss making a few blocks everyday. When I made my blocks, I mixed up easy and challenging so I didn't get discouraged. It seemed to help me stay motivated cuz 140 blocks is ALOT...lol! Have fun on your journey.
Anael....fabulous picture, again. Dang, girl... You didn't ask me but I'm sharing anyway...I have 4 sisters and 2 brothers...I'm the 2nd to the end and appreciate all their screw-ups cuz I had it easy from parents. I think my sibs exhausted them....lol!
Hi, Dotty!!!! How's that precious bundle doing?

Oh so sorry Teen 
That's what I told my mom. I was second and only girl and wasn't allowed to do anything. My youngest brother who's 11 years younger, didn't have all those problems.
