Hello Dunebugs!
My trip to Galapagos was truly amazing. Incredible landscapes and more wildlife than I could have ever imagined - up close and not afraid at all. Penguins, sea lions, fur seals, sharks (it wasn't as scary as I thought), blue-footed boobeys, iquanas and so much more. We took one or two nature walk/hikes a day and snorkeled one or two times a day... and somehow I still managed to gain weight from all the delicious food on our ship!
All the blocks are amazing! My squishys are all here and accounted for and I look forward to starting.

D.Henson, I don't know what block you were making, but sometimes there are internal seams you can adjust. The Around the Block books have both 12" and 12.5" blocks (finished) and sometimes I just adjust those inner pieces to make the bigger blocks come out at 12" too... if I really want to make one that is a 12.5" block.
It is from the Around the Block book, it's the Double Sawtooth on pg 54. I was thinking of making the inner square a smaller but not sure what will happen to the HST. I was thinking I could also adjust those 3" squares on the corners to help make everything fit. What do you think? Will that work?

GramE, amazing stripe block, really that is spectacular, is it hand pieced?
Sewbiz your blocks are great, but mine is over the top great, can't say how much I love that print and the fussy cutting.
Cheese, it's done, whew. When I was designing it I thought, it's just some hst how hard can it be, but let me tell you set those suckers on point and offset the seams, it took some help from Jack and a little wine to make that math work!!!!!! Hope you like it, I am pleased w/ the end results. I was planning on making this block for one or two others, but we'll see how that goes! lol
Look guys I found the box (but still not in it!!!!)
