I have pulled all the fabric for the blocks thru #90. Will cut/sew this weekend as we have no family for 1400 miles. Wonder how many I'll get done!

Here are my two blocks. I went back to paper piecing, thanks to RWQuilts. I had been paper piecing in the beginning. I only have Block Base, not EQ. If a block wasn't in BB, then I'd draw it myself. It got time-consuming and I gave it up for using templates. I'm really glad, actually, because I hadn't done templates before and now I know how. After #26 Cut Glass Dish with it's infinite HSTs, I got very frustrated.
That's when RWQuilts PM'd me about paper piecing. It reminded me to look in BB for PP patterns. So life is good again!

Hey, girl, I see you're doing what I did - catching up and piecing a bunch. It's so easy to do that as they are so addictive that you can't stop with just a couple.
Right now, I'm busying myself with cutting out & bagging up the blocks. We have a trip coming up soon. DH is in a meeting & I'm just going to sit in the hotel & stitch, so I need to get everything ready. When I did my Baby Jane, I drew out all the blocks on freezer paper, cut them out and ironed to fabric. Then I bagged them up. I drew around the paper templates when I was ready to sew. I hand pieced everything. I am really enjoying using my mchine for the FWS, though! Got a Sylvia's Bridal Sampler in the works, too. These blocks are huge when compared to Jane's. However, we have one gal who is doing 3" & 4" - WOW, they're great, too.
Everyone's blocks are great!!!!
