    I take it you recognize the fabric? My GD refers to it as my "Florida fabric"

    I did! I noticed that you zigzag close to the edge? Do you always do it or just because we are going to have this blocks around for a while before sewing the top?

    I used the method of Quick Triangles that ends up with bias edges so I sewed around the edges so it doesn't get mis-shapen while waiting to be put in quilt top, since ALL the edges are bias I stitches around the edge.

The challenge is going to be actually using whatever I pull b/c if I don't like it it's going to be hard to sew them next to one another! But I am determined to make this one a true scrappy!!! Wish me luck!!
    I tried that but was completely unsucessful! Now I just stop choosing the fabric as soon as I find one combination I like and that is working great.

    Linda58: What stunning fabric! Love your blocks. I own a bit of that yellow-orange spotted stuff and some of the plum, too, I think.
