I have not said so until now, I think, but I sure do enjoy looking at the photos and fabric/color choices; I'm still amazed how the colors & color value can so dramatically change the look of a block. Even when I'm choosing fabrics for my own blocks, I get such a kick out of the different looks I can get just by changing fabric(s).

Oh dear, if you girls had problems with #18 I may as well not even start it. It is a very pretty block and the ones on this thread are beautiful.

Hi Nanjun, I thought the way EQ7 diagramed it would be easy--but it wasn't--I can't even make a potholder out of it. I used the templates on freezer paper and sewed right thru the paper but I didn't sew to the edge. I left the 1/4 " seam allowance open. Now I just have to sew the sections together the way it's pictured in the book--so far ao good.

Nonnie, I am with you in the Super Slacker club. Oh well.

Ummm, I don't mean to be rude, but #18 does not look right on these. Is it just me or is it that way for an over-all design using the same block? I think I will have to play with this one until I really like the final outcome. Sorry, don't mean to upset anyone.
Irregardless, all the blocks are so neat. I love all the variations.

It is odd-looking. I suspect it was, as you say, originally designed to be matched up to other Century of Progress blocks of the same fabrics, which would entirely change the look of it.

OK here are my next two blocks, I really enjoyed making these two

Hope you like them :!:

I don't know why my pictures come up like this. Have to talk to the computer guru :x

I really like your fabric choices (including the blue).

As I was picking out my fabrics for #18, I couldn't help but notice what a nice skull or Cylon that block could make. It is a weird one.

Thank you, think I am finally getting the knack of these civil war reproduction prints
