Hope to see more of your pictures soon!
Here are my 11 & 12. Not so crazy about the stripes in 12. If I have enough fabric left over at the end I may redo this one. As much as I love this fabric line, I'm questioning the wisdom (or lack thereof!) of having 1/2 my fabrics either large print or stripes. :oops: :oops: Hadn't considered that ahead of time. Still, I'll continue on and hope it all balances out in the end.

And, I love the stripes in block 12.
keep on sewing!

Thank you Honchey. I think I'm feeling they're a bit busy. I tried the stripes all going one direction but didn't want to fight with getting them all lined up just right. I'm guessing that overall in the quilt, the block will blend right in. I may just need time to get used to it as is.

Sew Cornie, this is my favorite #12 so far
:thumbup: I am having a hard time picking the fabric for this one because I just don't "see" this pattern do you know what I mean? Yours makes sense! I am really impressed that you got it all to line up so well. To me it looks like a beautiful trellis.

sew cornie: Your blocks ALL look good, including the stripes in block 12. So far, I have several blocks I'm not really thrilled with (we're not "there" yet as a group, so they will be posted in future), but the thought of re-doing any of them just makes me ill.

Andii, you just made my day! :mrgreen: Thank you for your lovely words. Looks like I've been outvoted here and #12 will be staying as-is.
weezie, at the average of 2 hours per block, it is very icky to think of having to do any over again. I completely agree. I would imagine that as long as one block isn't a "sore thumb", all will blend well in the end.
auntjo, your blocks are beautiful! I especially like your plaid in #12 - very pretty. :thumbup:
