Have the right book, its just that skills are not that great, but everything comes in time, going to redo again this weekend and will post out come, still debating if templetes would b easier.

Teri Lynn, I use the templates to get the right cut piece of fabric...then I use the paper piecing technique to complete each block. Otherwise, I would be lost.

I just went upstairs in the attic part of the house for the suitcase to pack and rummaged around for a bit and discovered a few pieces of Vintage 30's fabric, a blue, green & yellow..I hand washed them and they are hanging on the line outside right now..I am so tickled..I know there's more somewhere..

Anne - what a terrific find! Doesn't it make you feel great when you find stuff you have forgotten about, or misplaced! It is like Christmas in August!

LOL makes up for all the times we can't find....

Great find, Honchey! Please be sure to tell us when these fabrics appear in your blocks.

I haven't even started on next week's blocks yet and am feeling a bit behind!

There is no rush Cooky, it seems we all get behind at times when doing these long term quilt alongs!

Well you are ahead of me haha. I am working on Anne still. I feel like I'm doing well if I get them done during the week the thread opens. I doubt I'll ever be able to post on a Tuesday!

Here are the fabrics I found upstairs, they've been up there since 1993 and to me that's vintage not as vintage as me tho.

Love that blue, Honchey; it will go with absolutely everything. I laugh when I find a 70s-80s vintage fabric in my stash and realize that I purchased it new. Wish I'd bought more at those prices! And of course I especially love finding some of my mom's stash in my stash -- those are 60s or earlier.
