Bonnie from the picture your block looks great as is but I trust your judgment if you think it needs to be changed up
I realized I made a major mistake in my blocks for paper piecing swap that I need to finish before really getting into my boom blocks. I am so mad at myself. Something didn’t look right but I just kept sewing.

QuiltCon Block Challenge has pictures to give you some ideas. The colors pictured were part of the challenge, so use whatever colors you want.

First, thank you so much for the blocks! Loving Meg she looks so pretty! I love that everyone else got as inspired as I did getting hands on fabric. I have Pets and Pokes fabric out and was going to the quilt con page I listed earlier to go a little outside the box for those :-) I finished 2 for duckling and one for Terri. I am loving the hourglass pattern because it requires 3 values and allows you to fussy cut the motifs. I used it to fussy cut sunflowers and the little animals in the baby quilt. I might do some thangles next….but hopefully will have a few more to post tonight, hugs!

Love all these new blocks! Reba, yours for Pet is a masterpiece. You did an amazing job with the colors.

And now... A SCOLDing. I have been making blocks and can't believe how many people left the selvedges on what they sent! No, no, no. Always trim them off first, then measure, as per the rules. Funny story, I have put them in my blocks by accidentally not catching that they weren't trimmed off. If you left your selvedges on and get a block with them in it, oh well. It's your own fault. I guess next time I will remind everyone to trim selvedges five or ten times before we mail. (Same way I do with reminding you to get your blocks to 12.5" before turning them in...) Ha ha but not ha ha.
