That's a good idea!

Great job on your blocks Cher! (This is going to sound very repetative after a year and a half!) :lol:

Oooh, look at those yummy scraps. Makes me want to grab my iron, ruler, and rotary cutter. :thumbup:

i can get very manic with quilting - its not uncommon for me to stay up for 24-30 hours straight designing quilts.

since i've been home from work i've slipped into an odd schedule of sleeping for 3-4 hours at a time and spending all of my awake time quilting.

I am so happy to hear you say this. I am working on being a home body, but that's taking some "getting used to." My sleep schedule is very strange, too. I drop off early, but for only a couple of hours; then I'm up "doing my thing." DH is getting used to it. I just try to do quiet things while he sleeps. Then just before daylight, I sometimes take a power nap.

you should stop pointing out the mistakes, i never would have noticed had you not said something.

all i saw was a beautiful block done is fabulous fabrics.

She's right esq... I didn't notice either till you pointed it out! ;-)

I'm hoping that if we put aside the blocks we're not happy with and plan on remaking them during the "off" week, that by the time the off week arrives we'll have forgotten the little imperfections and won't see them.

Of course, I'm not the one re-doing the blocks to replace the "mistake" blocks, but I think it would be interesting to see a quilt made with just "mistake blocks." What a story!

I keep looking at your sashing Blue. It really is going to make your Jane over the top.
