Thanks everyone for the compliments. I'm arranging and re-arranging them on my display board trying to decide how I like them. Every time I walk in my sewing room, I take one or two and move them. Not satisfied yet! LOL

Since I seem to be alone while everyone else is quilting thier blocks ho hum.........will I ever get there? Hmmmm I decided to spice it up for myself & I am working both ends of the quilt gonna meet up in the middle with Block #56! I decided to do this for 2 reasons..........1. Need to thin my stash. So my #1 & #111 block will have the same fabrics, the same with #2 & #110 blocks & so on & so on till I reach the middle. Not to say that some of those fabrics wont be used in other blocks in the quilt I know I don't have enough reds/blacks/whites to make each block totally diff. That brings me to reason 2. I made a promise to myself not to buy any new fabric this year till I use up some of what I have. So now comes the great part and gives me a goal & a reason to look forward to getting to Block #56. I get to go FABRIC SHOPPING! That block will have all new 2012 FABRICS!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh Yeah!!!!!!!!!! So with all that said here is my #111 Block!

Block # 1 Attic Window & Block # 111 Wrench

Morning Coffee Gal, I love your blocks. I LOVE black/red/white quilts! What a plan to meet at the center and then shop! LOVE IT!

Nice blocks! I'm really glad you are not reluctant to start the FWS now that some of us have done all 111 blocks. We'll be enjoying your progress! I had planned to use just from my existing stash, also, but ended up buying more fabric a couple of times. Mine is totally scrappy, though, so not a lot of repeats.

Morningcoffeegal it's great to see another quilter doing the red/black/white (although mine is actually cream) colorway. There were times I got kinda bored with the combo, but I persevered. The hardest part was getting a sashing color to do the blocks justice! :lol: Looking forward to seeing your blocks and the eye candy they'll provide.

I like your idea Morningcoffee girl! And the incentive. I'm still working on my blocks so you're not alone. I have done 1-46, some of the 60's and 80's when I was just making blocks to be doing it with the group.

I'd like to get at least 1 block a week done, so this won't carry out for another year.

So I guess we'll be seeing each other's blocks in the coming months. I know there are more out there still working. I even saw one person who just started at block one!
