Going to try this again...

I think once you've "cleaned" them up you will have a very different oninion of them. Press them- starch them- then trim (square) them up. I'm not overly thrilled with some of my colors/blocks but I decided this is a scrappy quilt for me and after seeing them on a background I'm liking them better all the time.

Everyone's blocks are gorgeous! I love them all! Will post mine later today or tomorrow...

I must admit that I didn't enjoy making #13...for some reason, I kept getting the wrong fabric and had to keep using my seam ripper...arghh! :(

I had more trouble with 14 than 13. For some reason I kept getting the wrong colors in the wrong positions! I need to get a better systerm for cutting. I'm going to try the rotary cutting and getting the Marti Mitchell templates. It seems like cutting accurately is the key to success.
