Good Morning! Well, guess what I did this morning? I sewed together the 2nd Chain block and forgot to take any pictures!!! Duh! Sorry. I'll post pictures of the next one.
Here is a picture of the finished chain block. I like it with 4 different colors coming into the setting block. Then there is a picture of my first 8 blocks and how they go together. Hope you all have a great day! Marilyn Chain Block #2 5-28-10 [ATTACH=CONFIG]74806[/ATTACH] My first 8 blocks laid out 5-28-10 [ATTACH=CONFIG]74807[/ATTACH] |

That gold in the connecting blocks absolutely makes that quilt shimmer, doesn't it?
Idea :idea: :idea: :idea: One of those flannel backed tablecloths ... lay it on your floor or on the bed, lay your blocks out (or pieces out), and when you are ready to put things away, just roll it up or gently fold it, much as you would with the felt puzzle mats <wave> |

I don't think most of you will need a tutorial for the setting block, but some may so I will do one just in case.
Here is a picture of the pieces all cut out and ready to sew together for the setting block. Lay out all the pieces where they will go to make the setting block.

Next, you sew the pieces, (9 patch, bars, and center squares), into 3 rows. Then sew the 3 rows together to complete the block.
