Here is # 17, I don't know why I had such a difficult time with this block. Still a little wonky and it's going to the bottom of the blocks so I don't have to look at it for a while.
OOOHHHH.....AAAAAAAHHHHHH...love the fabrics....if it is not good enough for your quilt, my quilt will be honored to have this block in it.....beautiful Anne..... :-D

Thanks Darcene, I needed that little pick me up. I'm off to do Corn and Beans-just have to find the fabric for it.. When you paperpiece where do you actually start the sewing for the seam? Do you leave the ends open like hand-piecing? I'm finding that I have to remove the thread ends to fold back the paper to trim the seam. Am I doing it right.

Here's my 17 & 18. I did them before I left a couple weeks ago. Now I'm 2 weeks behind & after I get caught up from my G'ma week, then our week in St. Croix, I have to get stuff together to begin a f/t HS math teaching spot after their Fall break next week. Gonna be busy rest of this school year, but keep telling myself I'm going to make an effort to not completely lose all my quilting time this time around. We'll see...
I've so enjoyed this semi-retirement & being able to do lots of quilting - & I'm just beginning to get the hang of my new machine/frame set-up w/our guilds charity donation quilts.
