AnnieQuilts, I imagine it would get boring making 20 of the exact same block. I've never had anyone ask me that before. I think it would probably be better to mix in a couple of different patterns. (Just to help in not receiving doubles of the same block.)

Took awhile but, I finally was able to figure out how to make my 7 in block into a 12 in block. first try it came out 20 inches. Hopefully I can get two more sets done. have them cut out and ready to sew. I hate 13 hour shifts.

I need to read all instructions first. After cutting out over 120 rectangles 4 1/2 x 2 and 4 1/2 by 1 1/4 I could have sewn the strips together and then cut my 2 in and then the 1and 1/4th ones. Much faster then cutting separate and then sewing all those little rectangles back together. the third set of 4 blocks. It took the first block before I remembered to sew my strips together and then cut.

So, I know I said I would be unable to join this swap....but every time I am in a store I pick up more patriotic fabric! Also, it was so much fun to put together my Summertime Quilt that I wanted to do it again. And then the fun blocks on this thread made me jump back in! So, Judith1005 - please sign me up.
Here is a peak at one of the fabrics I picked up this week. I love it!

Judith, I am thinking of joining but just not for sure if I have the time I will be finishing up my star blocks this coming week and will try to work on some patriotic blocks but I will definitely let you know before the deadline on the 10th of May. I am loving all the blocks that I have seen so far.
