I'm SO excited! I love those batiks, they're gorgeous. And klue, your blocks look awesome, knew they would! ;-) They look much better in real life than off the printed picture don't they.

I agree with the comment about one of each block being more fun too.... I've just done one that was quite involved and all I could think as I trimmed it up was "thank god I don't have to make 17 more of these suckers!"

Smiles............

This is the first time I uploaded a photo here so if I have done something wrong let me know.

My outside of these blocks have not been trimmed... I thought I read somewhere that you don't trim it til you put them together. Is this correct?

Great job! It's going to be fun with all the different fabric. Kinda like my New York Beauty. Every block was a different color cxonbination. It did not get monotonous!

No.... I'm not doing a normal sashing, mine will be the Storm at Sea setting, which means squares in squares and a LOT more piecing. I don't want to get to the end and have to do all the sashing in one hit, so I'm planning on adding mine as I go to minimise the stress and work.

I love your sashing. If I still have my wits about me when we're done, I may do it also.

You'll need to remember Blue's tip about the sashing...if you are doing anything other than the 1/2"....the triangles need to be resized...she posted all about it on an earlier page. Just a heads up...
