Ladies, all the blocks made so far are wonderful, I Love show and tell.
Macybaby, I love the GA block. I am a big Bulldog fan.
That is such a cute quilt, My niece would love it. She is a very imaginative child.
I think your points are perfect. We are our own worst critics.

Good morning, Early Birds. Trying to keep on top of the blocks but at this speed, I'll always be behind. Unfortunately, I don't really feel better. I've got some more doc appts scheduled and will probably need additional tests. My symptoms are unpleasant but not painful but the anxiety of not knowing what's going on in my body is the real problem. While I'm calm and relaxed, guaranteed to last no longer than an hour or two, I'm catching up on your blocks. I appreciate your kind words and thoughts. Thanks. <3 you all.
GramE, I love your double star block for Libster. Beautiful work!
Thanks, Libster. 
Your Sitting Pretty block is purrrr-fect. Hav's quilt will be amazing.
Hav, I'll go back and find it. Thanks for the heads up.
Glad you received good news from your doc, Jaba. Sorry to hear hubby needs surgery. Hope he recovers as swiftly as possible.
Nice block for Terriamn. Looks perfect!
Hav, so many bunny blocks and all different. I love the tail on this little guy!It'll be fine. Don't be upset. GramE said she has extra.
Libster, you are on a roll with your blocks. All wonderrful!
More bunnies! Moonrise, you are amazing! I cannot imagine doing all those blocks in one night. Congrats on your beautiful work!

Hav4boys, I made another block for you this morning. It's called "Sitting Pretty" from Quiltmaker's 1000 Blocks.

I can start.....soon! Got my big envelope today, count is good. Had a doctor's appt. this afternoon, everything good to go, sort of, just had to get an update tettinus (sp) shot and a P13. Will send a PM with count so Janice knows.
Hubby Bill has to have surgery on the 22nd. Torn roto cup and tendon repair. We'll be quite the pair for a month or so

Working on my last Early Bird block and I made a trial paper pieced block for GramE. I started to make the block, get 3 6.5 inch squares done and realize I made 3 of the same block. I need 2 of each block. I take it apart, but cannot salvage enough fabric to finish. I am in tears and will deal with it tomorrow.
I sewed all night long! Whew! I am one tired puppy. Got nine blocks finished, though. Below are pics, but they're cell phone pics, and they're not the best in the world, especially considering that they were taken in the middle of the night. LOL! Hopefully you can get the general idea.
Terriamn - I wasn't sure if WOW was meant as an option if a third color was needed, or if it was a requirement. I just used shades of gray, but if WOW is required, I can easily change up the blocks a bit and add it in.
Gotta work on my craft show stuff the rest of this week, since I have a big one on Saturday, but I'll get started on more blocks ASAP.
And now ... I'm going to bed!
Y'all have a great day, and I hope y'all like the blocks!

This is the purple on purple for Mona. Hope I got the concept right.
i don’t think I did. I have this same fabric, I feel a redo coming on.

GramE, I interpreted Mona G's request much as you did. Mona G, can you clarify for us???
edited to add: GramE, I've emailed Mona asking her to stop in and clarify.

Yes, this is correct. You can use as many puple, in this case, fabrics as you like. Just don't add another color to the block unless it is a small print that "reads" purple.
