For All2Pieces. The fabric I added has a story behind it. I'd bought it to make some curtains for my cherry-themed kitchen, but I haven't had a chance to do it yet. When I opened your F8, she immediately pointed toward that cherry curtain fabric, and told me that's what she wanted! So that's what she got! I bought plenty, so I was happy to accommodate her wishes. I just love fabric that talks to me right off the bat! ha ha Hope you like the block.

Wow! Joan, I love this block. This is a new-to-me one. What's it's name?

All2Pieces, with the help of some of the Boomers, I hope you understand why some people are making 2 blocks each. I'm going to give as brief a recap as possible. For every F8 you receive, you need make only ONE block. Some people signed up to make 2 blocks so I sent them 2 F8s. Sometimes swappers find they have enough to make two blocks out of one F8. That's what Jaba did of her own volition, absolutely not a requirement. And if someone makes 2 for you "just because", you need not reciprocate.
Also, for those of you making 2 F8s because you rec'd two F8s, PLEASE do not combine them in a single baggie. For those of you making an "extra" block from a single F8, please put them both in the same bag the F8 came in. I'm pretty sure you all will do that automatically anyway, but I did want to clarify. When I sort everything, I count baggies. Too many or two few baggies can derail me and really slow the sorting process to a crawl while I figure out what's going on. 550+ blocks to sort can be daunting.

Libster there is no real pattern that I know of. I saw this on the border of a quilt in a magazine and thought it would be pretty as a block. They are 2 7/8" blocks cut on the half triangle with the coordinating colors then a sashing added and then the 3 on each side. VERY easy and I like the block..Im thinking of making it a border around my next quilt. Loving ALL my blocks so far...I'm trying not to rush and then not have any to make with a couple months to wait for them to come back!!

Have you decided on what your name will be? We chose grammy for me, but one day I realized my last name starts with E so I became by accident GramE. I was at a CrossCountry meet on Saturday, and from the start line I heard this loud "GRAME" shout. 3 of my grandsons had seen me there & were giving me a shout out. Melts your heart every time you hear it!
Hope your winter is full of cooing & cuddles, and giggles, and silly songs, long chats on your dreams for her and much much love!
