    I don’t think I know how to do that, I know you will do great teaching and cannot wait to see the Donald duck blocks! Tonight I’ve been working on the border for the boom 27 Baltimore-ey album blocks, the appliqué pieces are taking a lot of time even though it’s machine appliqué, finishes feel good. Hugs!

    Lstew, I love those twist blocks! And Libster, your block is so much fun, too. It's always great to see the blocks as they start to show up. We have so many made already, and it's still well over a month before we have to be done. We are doing great!

    Yes they do! And thank you for that encouragement. The DD blocks are super cute. I'm going to be able to make 2 children's quilts with them.

    LStew, I have never seen this block before and I love it. Thank you for making it for me.

    That is a really cool block, Reba! How did you go about designing it?

    I'm curious for everyone making blocks, do you use a "true" 1/4'' foot, or do you use a "scant" 1/4'' foot? What works best for you?

    I love my block, Mona! Thank you so much.

    What awesome blocks people are making! There are many I've never seen until now.
