Sylvia Bridal Sampler BOW
#821
I am about a year behind, but would love to join the group. I have a few blocks finished, but I am having trouble with "y"seams. I will continue on. I have only read about 20 pages of the posts, and have written down the numbers for the different weeks and will begin. As I read more posts, I may start with your most recent weeks and work backwards. I have been admiring all the pictures of the completed blocks.

Good to hear from you MamaHen. I have sooooo many projects to do but life has a way of interfering with my plans... trying to do Sylvia, 50 fab Stars, Dear Jane, SYE, and a Tennessee Waltz quilt on the side. But my bone-on-bone right knee with Arthritis is not allowing me to use the sewing machine, and fingers cannot do hand work, so I sit and imagine what I could be doing. Like 8 blocks for Sylvia, 5 Fab Stars, 10 Dear Jane, and 3 SYE, and 50 54-40 star blocks and 49 snowball blocks for TW. And there's housework to do as we are having company coming in for a week on Monday. I have earned my pilot's license this week, piling things here and moving it there. In time it will happen. Meanwhile, I will enjoy seeing everyone block's posted here and enjoy our warm weather and sunshine. I wish you all the best of the best.

Thanks for the info, Thimblebug6000. I am reading thru the thread before I start again. I am on page 50 now. Reading thru the thread has given me confidence that I will be able to do it with everyone's help. By the way, love all the pictures you have posted.

Welcome Sophie2 You can do it, just ask if you're having problems with a block. Sometimes a block can be redrawn to avoid the Y seams. I can make a tutorial with pictures on Y seams if you would like that.

Wow...what a lot of pieces! Did you work on yours again?

On Block H7 can someone please check their directions for me. My version says to cut 4 squares at 2 7/8" from the green and cut in half diagonally once to make 8 green triangles. They have turned out to be too large. I think there may be a correction to the block in the newer printing of the directions. Thanks!
