I got purplemem's F8 today too! :) I'll try to start on it tonight, as well as snap a photo of the block I received a couple of days ago. It was a cRaZy weekend ... DH and I somehow managed to quilt TWO queen-sized quilts! :shock: :mrgreen:

Right now I'd say I'd give her to you-she's past 14 and is being cantankerous-yesterday she wanted to sit on my lap but when I went to pat or hold her she began to growl and hiss. I don't know how she can purr, growl and hiss all at once :mrgreen: Plus she's been lashing out at our younger cat for no reason, just goes up to her and smacks her, it didn't use to be a problem because one stayed upstairs the other downstairs but since the older cat came down she's been a major snit.I keep inviting her to go back up stairs, but no such luck, I tend to be a referee often. Her fluffiness is pure fur-lots of brushing required!

At least it is just a smack and not a full on fight. My cat [only non-foster kitty] is such a brat that I have to keep the fosters in a separate room. This time I got a female foster kitty, Moon, thinking maybe our cat would be nice to a girl - - nope! I had to get a second foster because Moon needed a friend and my cat is too mean :evil:

I think it is just so cute thats the cats and dog both love to sit right in the middle of any quilt I lay down just like in your avatar!!!

Received fat 8 from purplemem today, very very pretty, so many possibilities. Also received grown up blocks from montanablu, and janecat - very nice work on both and fit in very nicely with the rest of the grown up family. it's amazing all the color combos that I get and all fit together great. I'll have to get a camera so I can post a picture.

If a block is a little bit small, you can "block it". I turned my ironing pad over, so the hard side is up. I used a sharpie pen to trace a 12.5" square directly on the ironing pad back. Spray the block with water and then pin it onto the square on the ironing pad back, using 6 pins per side. You can stretch it easily, just be a little bit gentle with it. Leave it to dry on its own. When you take the dry block off of the board, it will hold the size you squared it to. (simple as mud... hope you get what I am saying, because this is easy and it makes your blocks just right sized.)

If a block is over 12.5, I trim it, if under, I cross my fingers and pray it will grow in the envelope on its way home :D

Whoooo-Hoooooo! Today the mailman brought me a fat envelope from OATW13... and it had not one but TWO beautiful blocks in it!!!! And they really are very nice. I'm going to have to clear off some more stuff on my design wall as I am running out of space to hang the blocks all together.

Thanks Oat13.

hugs, Jupiter
