    OK, you're blocks are drop-dead beautiful. Oh well, I am using the same colors, among others, in my quilt. Just love those blocks.

    It would be fun to do one of those traveling quilt exhibits with the FWS quilts done on the board. That would be a sight to see!

    You just go right ahead and blush ... as you never fail to give us a great pair of blocks.
    Honestly, OKSGlad ... I'm getting pretty anxious to see your first 25 in a grouping. They are going to awesome!

    Have you started to think about your sashing/cornerstones yet?


    JillNJo ... ITA .... it would be incredible to see all the FWS quilts together IRL! For now, the link that OK gave you will have to do. Also check out the groupings at every 25.

    I'm confused!
    And that happens easily ... and being that it's late at night, that only adds to my confuzzlement!

    I think I need a neutral for sashings and thinking of using a brown--maybe a brown marble or fusion. IRL my fabric color choices are really diverse and I haven't tapped all the fabrics yet. Just bought a few more a while ago to go with some of the existing fabrics--as if I needed too!!! As far as cornerstones I have no idea at this point. One more to go and I will have the first 25--one of the "Country" blocks.

    You're really on a roll!!!! And pumping them right out now.
    Of course you needed more fabric!!!

    By not choosing my sashing earlier, I have some blocks that maybe blend too much into the sashing. I don't know if that's good? or if I'll be wanting to re-make them? I just made up my mind I was not getting into re-make mode til all were done ..... and then see if it was necessary. Or next thing would be I'd have two quilts!

    I decided the same- I'm not getting into remaking mode until I've completed them. I have a couple that didn't go together to please me, but they probably would not be found out by anyone but another quilter! I might get the spurt of energy once I have the blocks finished.
