Hi all! Have not been on for awhile. Busy with midterms.
I am several blocks behind and hoping to catch up this week. :)
I see some are using Quilt Assist. Since I love to PP, will this help me with printing out the pattern so that I can do more blocks PPing? I really would like to find a bit of a shortcut for some of the pointy blocks.
Lovin all the blocks. Looks like we have added a few new folks. Great!

Good news coming. We will be able to share pp foundations. I read it on the Yahoo site. I'm sure it will apply here also. just waiting for the confirmation. Anne

Here are my 17 & 18. I've done the Cats & Mice in a 12" size, but this is the first time in 6". What a cute small block it makes! I may have to do more of these someday. Century of Progress isn't my favorite with the color layout so I made the background with similar fabrics and it made the oddness is less noticeable.

piledriver, I love the fabrics in #18! They look so old-fashioned; they remind me of the material I got from my aunt's stash. Very pretty!
sewcornie, that's a great idea on block #18, using similar fabrics in the background. When I get up to these blocks, I think I'll do the same thing. Great looking blocks!

Everybodies blocks look Wonderful! I love seeing the different color selections.
I finally have these two blocks done.
Actually I have 4 of the Century of Progress, the first one was when I first started I thought it would be one of the harder ones so tried it first in the 3" size but scrappy. When I decided to go with the 3" blocks I decided to them in the 30's, but I forgot I had one started and got another one all cut out and ready to go sooooo...I finished both of them, and then the 4th one is the 4 " size in the scrappy. All of them ended up with the center points off.The Cat and Mice block finally came together after I changed the sections for paperpiecing that my EQ7 suggested. I will get back to the sewing machine and see if I can a couple more done today. :(
