    Here are my blocks for today. For Hav4boys[ATTACH=CONFIG]587920[/ATTACH]get your sunglasses on!
    For Bootsy[ATTACH=CONFIG]587921[/ATTACH]

    For Bibliostone[ATTACH=CONFIG]587922[/ATTACH]

    Bootsy I did a miss-cut on your fabric but was still able to make a block. I personally am not happy with how it looks and would be more than happy to make another block if you still have more fabric. I will also pay the postage both ways, just pm me and let me know.

    Ha! Now we know you are a true Boomer. We've all done the same thing and had to figure a way to still pull it off. Way to go! BTW.. I like that block.

    Cheesehead, I thought your block for Bootsy looked great! I was wondering if it was some sort of Celtic cross.... I like it too.

    Your other blocks are pretty, as well.

    I like the block cheese...if you wouldnt have mentioned it noone would have known!! Finished 2 today after I got home from quilters. I think I have the nicest quilter possible!! One of the 4 grandkids has confirmed flu...sure hope the other 3 dont get it. The Dr said rest, liquid and isolation were what she needed to do. 2nd day and still has a 101 fever.

    I have a question for you experts. Im going to try a curved log cabin. The pattern calls for 1 -2 1/2 strip print ...then it says 1- 1 1/2 strip roll solid. My question is would it be easier to get a 2 1/2 solid pack and cut it down to the 1 1/2 size or just cut solids from my stash that are 1 1/2". I dont think Ive ever seen a 1 1/2 strip for sale?? The pattern is from Missouri Star Quilt.. Thanks.
    These blocks are for cheesehead and Biblostone

    I only got one block done this weekend, but I have prepped for several more. the practice block did not turn out how I hoped so I had to find a different pattern.

    This block is for Terriamn.

    Thank you for the lovely block Joanelizbay.

    The flu is just terrible down here in Alabama too. It seems everyday the newscasters are announcing a death regarding the flu. The last two people were so young, one was a 10 year old child and another a 46 year old woman. It seems by the time they came down with it they died within 4 days. Hoping your grandchild recovers real soon and doesn't give it to the rest of the family.

    Thanks Mona, the block is great looks 3 deminsional.

    Joan sorry I don’t know which would be easier. I prefer to make blocks a little larger and cut them down, but when working with curves your blocks can get distorted when you cut them down

    Hope your granddaughter recovers from the flu quickly. It is running rampant here.
