    That is the thing, the seams do not match and most of the points are cut off. When quilting in the ditch, I was going all over the place. I guess that saying of if you can't see it from a galloping horse, don't worry about it. I see other peopling posting pictures of crisp, straight blocks and I do not see that with mine.

    tscweaves, your runners are great! I love them both. Love the ruler work!! Which rulers do you have? I have 1 parr ruler, it's a rectangle shape. Good for straight lines. I need to find some others to do the curves and circles. Any suggestions?

    I have the foot and ruler set from Westalee, 6 or7 rulers/templates came with the set along with a width gauge, a crosshair marking grid, and a design book. Check out this link for Nancy's Notions http://www.nancysnotions.com/product...emplate+set.do

    LawsonMugs, Mary, looking at your post, if you say candy corn is a vegetable, does that mean beer is a grain to replace Frosted Mini Wheats? Hmmm Just put on kraut to cook for supper. I always add a half can of beer to my kraut. So if I put it in the crock pot early, should I just think of the other half as breakfast? Now there's food for thought!

    Theresa, They look great. OK so I went back & looked for your "mistakes" & I had to look hard. I think you are just to hard on yourself-like most of us. enjoy them.
