    I'm learning a lot too Sweet. I am also now using the templates to cut my fabric. I just didn't get it when I was reading how the others described it and then one day it clicked for me. I waste a LOT less fabric now. Saturday night I printed half of the templates and cut them out. I am keeping them in the notebook. I am thinking I might take my notebook and box of 1930s fabric on my vacation and choose my fabrics for as many blocks as I can. That way I won't get very far behind. I think I will have enough time in the evenings to do it.

    Beautiful blocks, ladies. I love all the bright colors and your small prints are perfect for these blocks. Please Pam & Husky don't get discouraged--there are easier blocks ahead. When we did the first 2 FWS quilts I was working full time. Now I'm a lady of leisure and can sew all day if I choose. Know what though?? I was more organized and productive when I was working. Now I seem to waste time because I can always do it "later". [ATTACH=CONFIG]529491[/ATTACH]

    Honchey, your blocks are perfection every week!!!
    So fun seeing everyone's blocks, same pattern, yet so different.
    Katybob, your Ava is gorgeous. That flower print is icing on the cake. :-)
    I love 30's fabric-- and these little 6" blocks work very well with their prints, don't they? (janRN, we posting the same thought at the same time!)

    Wow ladies, your blocks just keep getting better and better! I love how the design changes due to the colors and prints being used.

    JeanieG, I have that purple and green print you used in Ava. I've always liked that print and have used it several times. I probably have a scrap of it left somewhere. Doesn't it look nice with your purple and green!
