I really like the detail that scanning provides as opposed to the photos....There is some really good piecing going on out there....not that the quilt police will be watching or anything but if we can learn any new (or old) techniques from one another it will be great.
Down with the quilt police....slackers unite!!!!!!!

Here are my first two. I had to scan them since my camera is still broken, hope it works.
I will not be squaring my blocks until all are completed and then I will squre up to the smallest one. Until then, they will look a little catywompus.

Muriel, Who is doing the rotary cutting instructions??? Me !!!
Of course they are rotary cut. I'll give you a hint on the cutting. In a seam there are 2 threads + the fold. That takes up space from the 1/4 inch seam, so I ALWAYS cut my pieces a few threads larger and sew a scant 1/4 inch seam. Very rarely do I have a problem. I also measure often and use a slotted 1/4 " foot with a guide so I can make needle adjustments.

Honchey, I'm not getting the "2 threads and a fold" thing. Can you explain it to where a dummy can understand it? LOL!

Thank you. I am using some charmpacks from the Moda line Astor Manor, Blessings, Collections For a Cause, and some fabrics my SQA has sent me. :-) I hope she recognizes them.
