Congrats on the new grandson. I have 6 grandson and 3 granddaughters Grandchildren ages are 22years to 8 months. And I was told they would be no more. I told them it's getting expensive at Christmas time can you stop now. I have only two grown sons no daughters.

Suggestion... Make your fourth block using just red and black. Add a different green that you can add both greens as you go. I believe I see a little bit of gold in the center of the flowers so you could also add some solid gold to the mix. But scatter a few that are just black and red and they will balance out with the others. I really like the look here with making them both ways. A picture is worth a thousand words. Maybe even make them half and half. since there are two blocks each time, you could make one with green and one without! I sure would never change that 2-color block. Janet

I'll always be a rookie, its the way to learn. I love the blocks so far, I actually have mine cut out. Hope to work on them this week. Welcome tscweaves, think you have been lurking long enough, jump in, have fun, enjoy.

Jaba love your paisley print and the way you have matched it, can't wait to see all your blocks.

These blocks are so pretty!

Prayers sent your way for you and your family. Life sure dishes out a lot of stuff that makes us wonder how strong we are at times. Quilting is my run away to thing and I just try to fit it in when I can. I love the striking effect of your blocks.

Thanks for the welcome, that goes to everyone!
This is so much fun. I just don't know how this happened, between a bunch of vintage sewing machines coming in to my house and now making quilting blocks. It sure shows how your interests change. I used to hate to sew, I had a good weaving friend help me hem the first curtains that I wove because I did not want to sew them. Now I am looking for things to stick under a needle! LOL

I agree with you Libster, we have all been there, and trust me we will all go there again, its a never ending thing. So if ripping out means it builds character and it means we are a quilter, than I am a wonderful quilter with a lot of character. Loving the blocks.

You are funny, thanks for bringing a smile to my face this morning.

Thanks for the ideas I might have to do that so if I do run out I'll have something else to work with. If I have enough at this end of this sew along maybe I can do over some of them but right now I'll let them be. I wish I had read the board one more time before for that ideal. I'll find a way to make this work. LOL And thanks for the compliments too.

So nobody told you quilting is addictive? Yep, you will find in the best of times and in the worst, you will just need to fondle fabric! :thumbup: Janet
