    You did it again Rhonda, love them. I will probably start with Ramona. It looks the easiest, however, I did Matilda, because I thought it looked easy, and WRONG, I thought I had it just perfect. And when I was looking at it today, I noticed it was all wrong, tore half out, then my points wouldn't match. No not posting that one. Those little quare blocks can be real buggers because they look easy.....For as hard as Naomi looks, I think it's the easiest. Can't do wings yet, so I don't know how hard they are. But again. Love these.

    I wasn't sure about Sadie. I almost didn't post it. I look at them and there are always several variations of each one that I have to pick the best one. I have a hard time deciding sometimes which version is the best. This one I thought might look weird. It is kind of wonky looking to me. But I decided to see what you guys think of it.

    Sometimes I am tempted to post several versions of one quilt block and let you guys decide which one to post! LOL

    Which one are you having problems with? Can I help in any way?

    Rhonda maybe it's the wonkiness is what I like about it. I like things that look a little off, they remind me of me. LOL!!

    I think I know what bothers me. The outside part is wonky and then you have a square center and the two are not really compatible. Like chalk and cheese. I think I should see if I can get the wonkiness in the center too. The balance is off for me. I know it's a little thing but these are the things I look at. If I can get one that looks good I will post it!

    Ok here is the redrafted version! I like this one much better. If I had thought of this one first it would have been the one I posted above. As it is you can choose between the two or use both if you want.

    I love your avatar! I have been in love with Ann Geddes work for along time now. My DIL gave me an address book with her work in it. I love the pictures! She gave me several of the stuffed "animals" that have the Ann Geddes faces on them. I love my bumblebee one. It is so adorable!
