Great blocks, Katybob. I love the peach fabric in Doris. Em had to be the most boring block in the bunch to make, hope there are no more like that (altho once finished it's a nice block).

Thanks, Jan. Em was really boring. I just ran into a problem with Eva and although it's one of next week's blocks, I wanted to bring it to everyone's attention before you start. The paperpiece templates finish at 6 3/4" and not 6 1/2". I thought at first it was a problem with my printer, but the one inch scale on the printout is one inch for me. If I trim it down, it'll cut off the points.

I did a quick search and didn't find anything about it. I'm sure Honchey will see our posts sometime today and get back to us.

Katy, I just measured my finished Eva and it's exactly 6 1/2". Did I do something right or wrong LOL?? Most of my other blocks range between a little over 6 1/4" to 6 1/2". Once I press & block the smaller ones and add sashing they'll be okay. This happened with FWS & FWS Pony quilt and they turned out fine. I also measured the block after Eva and it's 6 1/2" so you may want to check that one, too, if all your other blocks are 6 1/2" so you don't end up with different size blocks like I do.

It just occurred to me that I may have jumped the gun and needn't worry about it. I haven't put the pieces together yet and the ones that measure 6 3/4" are the long diagonal ones. I bet when they're joined I'll have a 6 1/2" block!

Beautiful blocks ladies. After studying Em for a while and counting the patches (64) patches. I went into Eq and pulled up the 64 patch blocks and picked a different variation. They are just HST and squares and can be arranged anyway to make whatever. ...so maybe today I will pick three fabric and see what comes out. I am so glad I have EQ and Block base......

I edit in eq and colorize the block and eq just colors it in.

Thanks, Honchey. Next week is Thanksgiving, so is it the 1st that we post new blocks? Now if I can find my printout of your dates, it would be great...oh, my mind forgets so much any more! LOL!

Life goes on.
