Shelly,
I think you must have the best fabric stash ever! Love your block. Lots of very neat points all in their proper place! Way to go! Would love to see another 'group' photo of your BOMs. :wink:

Thanks so much guys :P Yvonne, not exactly all in their place, but if you can't see them, I aint pointing them out :lol:
Got a decision to make now. I've got 20 blocks, do I use what I've got and set them on point with alt blocks or do I wait and make another 10 and set them straight with a little frame around each in a 5x6 setting. Both plans would give me about the size I want. Been playing about with them, so what do you think would be the best way to go?

Couple more. I quite like the strippy looking one and the other looks like it is in a star setting. I had another one that I really liked the movement in But Hubby pointed out that it resembled a symbol that should not be mentioned. I spose it did a bit, I couldn't see it at first, darn it :cry: I really liked that layout too. Anyway what do you think? I can't make a decsion, too many choices I guess :lol:
Similar alt block rotated

Shelly,
I do see your problem. I couldn't decide if I had to (and I don't!) :lol: Thank goodness! I like them all but that first one is really neat! Stripes are great too... ah, See what I mean. No decisions!
I am busy putting my 12 pink squares together. I had to make one more block for 13 for a better setting. I had so many ideas it took me forever to decide what to do. I finally framed each block with white and then put them on point with sashing. My blocks were the 12 inch variety and that sucker just grew and grew until I now call it "The Big Pink One"! AND it's still growing! I am becoming very afraid!! I purchased another 3 yards plus of pink fabric for the sashings and borders. I've used that up and the other pink fabrics I have are fast becoming crumbs. Today I found the perfect fabric for the back. I've got to finish this thing soon. It's not only BIG it's breaking the bank as well! Man, I forgot to buy the batting! It's a money pit! :lol:

Poissonally...
I like BOM layout1.jpg and BOM layout4.jpg. Stunning... Perhaps BOM layout4.jpg the best.
Reminds me of the back of well made playing cards.
Stunning.
Did I mention Stunning?
