Great blocks, A2P, Lstew and Terri!

Terri, never seen that block before either, but what a good border it would make!

Thank you, Lstew for my block! Love it.

Mjp, Thank you so much for the sea turtle block. So unique!

Sewbiz I thought it would make a great quilt with the repeat design but it took me ages to make sure each section was going the right way, no way would I make multiples of this block

MJP - so glad you had great one-on-one time with each grand. They will remember it.
We haven't ever taken the flu or COVID shots. We both had it once before any shots were out and that is that. I am one of those who do not trust it all but glad it is available to those who do.
WMUT - backed potatoes are great. When we go campging with groups (like this next weekend) one meal is baked potatos and everyone brings something to put on it - chili, cheese, bacon, pulled pork, broccolli - you name it!

Thank you MJP for allowing me to make Theo's block. I had fun even though I riped out most of it at least once. I kept mixing up the material. But I am happy with both and hope he will like it too. He will learn traditional vs modern blocks.

All2Pieces, please check your email. Thank you!

I've had a couple of issues come up.

Reminder that all blocks must be made 12-1/2 inches square and hopefully will be made with an eye to the fabric requests.

If you are making "extra" blocks, when you post them please note that they are "extra" and are not part of the requirement of one block per F8 you have received. If you don't do that, it confuses the group and me. I keep track of all blocks made and I expect 19 blocks per person, each in it's own baggie, to be returned to me. If you are making extras, do not use a baggie for it but add it to the existing baggie for the recipient. I do not count blocks, I count baggies. Extras will complicate the sort if suddenly I've got too many baggies per block maker.

Everyone is required to keep in touch weekly and by that I mean post weekly, hopefully to acknowledge blocks made for you and to read what may be important information like this post. If I don't hear from you. I will be contacting you by pm. email or text or as a last resort, by phone. If I'm having to track you down, there is a problem so please post weekly at a minimum. If you are going to be unavailable for a period of time, please let me know so I don't start worrying that something has happened to you.

Thanks for reading all of this.

I’ve gotten a couple of comments regarding All2pieces’ 9 inch block for Cheesehead. It was a block inadvertently made the wrong size. It’s being sent to Cheesehead as an extra or bonus block for Cheese to use as she wishes. So no, we do not allow our standard blocks to be anything but 12-1/2 inches so no worries. All is well.

Interesting that you mentioned your house quilt. I was looking at something posted on Face Book where a friend's husband and young daughter were the "readers" for mass this morning and on the alter to their right was a houses quilt. Beautiful and each house was different. A lovely message sent to the whole congregation through one quilt. Everyone welcome!

Thanks for the blocks, Terriaamn, I like the dark you used. It is fits well with the colors in the fat 8th. I am smiling. I'm in the same boat. I went hunting for browns to make myself a block and what do you know, none to be found. Rusty browns, sandy tan and a muddy print don't work. Yuck! Time to watch the give away table for some browns. The brown in that fabric just is not a stash color in my palette.
