    i just love the pic. each time i see it, it puts a smile on my face. you look so beautiful, you're just glowing.

    you are a stunning woman.

    aaahhhh shucks:oops: Thank You

    here are my four for the first week YaHoooo! mine are bigger I am doing 6 in blocks. I have noticed that the sizes vary by a 16th (small) here and there I guess I will have to take that into account when doing the sashings. I think I may follow Blue and do them as I go as well for just that reason. Not sure why it does it I am sewing directly on the lines :?:

    Anyone know the pros and cons o cotton thread? I am using 100% cotton thread thought I heard it was not a good idea.
    Well anyhoo here they night all work in the AM :thumbdown:

    They look fantastic!!

    A couple of mine are a fraction out too.... 1/16th I can live with! :-)

    Sometimes it's just the bias stretching, or the fold that gets ironed that's not totally opened, tiny little things make a difference with blocks this small. But seriously, that small a deviation I would NOT worry about. :-)

    By the way, I use cotton thread. I use the other for embroidery.

    All the blocks are great! I feel like I am behind already still trying to learn to PP. I am not to good with the computer, so I am learning to do that too! I will have a DJ when I am done. :-D

    you will do awesome, it isn't a race and just think what you will learn along the way. you came to the right place to learn if nothing else, there are some awesome teachers here that will be able to talk you through one way or the other!
