Forget this three month stuff! But I couldn’t join.)


LOL Two of them were cut out last night. I cut the other two and sewed all four of them this morning. It's so darn hot here that I try to sew early in the morning. My sewing room heats up with the iron on all the time plus I have two 4 foot light bulbs right above my head and my machine. Makes for great lighting but they do throw off heat. I plan to spend my afternoon standing over a vent to cut more blocks. LOL I think a 7 day Boom would be a tad fast for me too.

PamelaOry, Ditto, Quiltmakers 1000 Blocks. But if you get it, be aware it’s loaded with errors. Found another mistake last night. Still, it’s a great resource.

OMG!!!! I love my block!!! I actually yelled out loud, "That's my block!!" My husband sitting next to me was startled. haha TG, This block is amazing and I love the fact that your grand kids helped with color placement. This is absolutely the perfect cherry material for this fabric. I love it. Thank you!!

Boys went fishing. DGD is making chocolate chip cookies and I got to make a block. Both grands put their two cents into color placement. When I saw the fabric and realized that there were cherries in the glass I actually ran to my stash and found the perfect red cherries to go with it. One name for the block is Kings Crown

Libster, gorgeous blocks, all of them! My fave is Perfect Petals, with the patriotic block coming in second. You always do such nice work.

Pamela, I have been using the first ten Quiltmakers "100 blocks" magazines. They later made them into a 1000 blocks book. I bought the first ten magazines online as digital downloads for very cheap... probably because they were now in a book. I have to work off the laptop, which I don't mind.

Does the magazine collection have as many errors? I’m interested in the collection but a little worried about the number of errors I’m hearing about in the book. As a newbie that might pose a significant hazard. Lol

Yes, I suppose so. Its not that bad, really. You just make adjustments if they don't seem right. You could sew a tester block first.

Here's my Dune Block for MonaG. It's called "Gosling Gone Wild" from volume 14 of the 100 blocks magazine. She asked for black and white with a 'pop' of color.

[QUOTE=klaws;8083329]I at least got one block done. It's for Hav4boys and is called Old Town Star in the 1,000 blocks book. I didn't take a good picture. It looks like the top was cut off a little. Just the picture, not the block. I hope you like it.
