    Congrats on more blocks giquilt! As usual they're lovely. You still have no idea how many blocks you've made?

    Thank you Anael and giquilt for your kind comments. You are really on a roll giquilt with all your blocks ! Your colours are lovely and we will soon see your finished SBS. This thread used to be so busy - it would be great for it to be busy again.

    Yes we skipped around a lot, because I tried to mix easy and harder blocks and for those who work(ed) with FQ's that way you will have the fabrics in all the rows - well, most rows


    The Virtual weekend is coming soon so you'll have some more done! You'll get there. Look at your avatar, you did that one too and the Challenge quilt was way harder than the Sylvia with all those tiny 3" blocks!
    Aneal,
    I think I disagree with your statement about my Avatar and Sylvia. I have found Sylvia to be harder. Yes, there were 3 inch blocks, but no curved piecing or paper piecing. I think I have now been able to get paper piecing accomplished, but curves are still too hard. Will really need to work on that. gi

    Well yes curved piecing is hard. But I love paper piecing so I drew up lots of the 365 Challenge blocks so I could paper piece them.
    Did you count your Sylvia blocks yet?

    Still have not counted. I have cut out several while I had my grandkids last week. Today I made 4. I really appreciate the order you picked these blocks, if we had started with some of the harder ones I might have given up. [ATTACH=CONFIG]578275[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]578277[/ATTACH]For some reason it will only let me load these 2.

    I'm still here also. Did 3 more blocks yesterday. I think it's been about a year since I completed any. Too many other projects going on, but am still going to plug along. Have too many done not to...
