I do hope everyone posts the pictures of at least the finished top when we are all done. Everyone's blocks look so nice and I'm excited about see all the finished ones.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Don't eat to much.

Now that's wonderful! It seems ta be spinnin' round & round.:)

I'm intending to use my blocks in a queen size quilt for myself so I'll need plenty of blocks and this one will just add to the final tally. I'm going to repeat the block with the correct colors.

I just love how your cuttin misshap came out! :)

Looks good to me! Looks like you planned it that way, it is a nice block.

Hello Ladies! I'm back :) Everyone's blocks are looking fantastic!!!


As I told you before, I'm skipping some of the blocks (Diamonds all around and Loosey Goosey so far) as I'm making place mats and I only need 6. So I'm picking and choosing.

With my color scheme there was no way I was going to skip Tiger Stripes!!!

But I did take some artistic liberty with it and flipped half of the blocks to make the design meet on the edges.

And a funny story I need to share. First a question ... how many sides are in a hexagon?? Well apparently the answer is NOT 8. Yes indeed ... I made 8 tiger triangles so I've got two left. Sadly, I ran out of the gold fabric :(

Here's my Tiger ... and another shot with the rest of the gang.

Very pretty blocks ladies. Haven't seen one I don't like. Are we doing two blocks in December or waiting until January. It'll be a long wait to January. But December is a busy month. And maybe I can get some of my UFO's done. Hope you all had a Blessed Thanksgiving!

DogHouseMom 11-30-2013 11:24 AM

GrannyQ ... not that loud, especially if you put him in a corner. Also, will depend on what else is around him. As it stands now ... it looks fine.

DogHouseMom - I am in love with your blocks, it is such a great color scheme!

GrannyQ - You do such a great job with your blocks, they are just so perfect! They all look great together!
