Leakus: I have made 3 blocks with it and 100% quilter's Cotton from Hancock fabric. It did not need a stabilizer and the blocks turned out pretty. One was a dp9 I am working on. Treat it just like any other fabric you qould make a quilt with. It just frays a little!

moonrise, pics please! I wanna see what the lovely people @ fabric.com sent to you! I love them! They're the bomb!

Also got only 1 squishie today, but it's from kwiltkrazy and I think it's lovely. Can't wait to make it look bee-you-tee-ful!

Here's what I got today. Nothing too exciting. Just some blenders (green, wine, and dark wine), a tan fabric with circles on it, and a yard of red/orange/yellow leaves that's prettier in person than in my lousy photo. :mrgreen:

I neglected to say that I sent all of my F8's out yesterday. Some of you closer to home should receive them tomorrow or Thursday!

moonrise, the tan with circles and the red/orange/yellow with leaves are both pieces I lusted after, but quickly closed the screen ... I won't tell my husband how much $$ I spend there, but let's just say it's pretty substantial!lol

A dp9 is a disappearing 9 patch. you make a 9 patch,make a 9patch, cut it in 1/4 and turn top left 1/2 turn and bottom right 1/2 turn sew back together, the 9patch is no longer there.

I made your block today, also. That was a very nice blue and I liked the wiggly line in it. I had some fabric that nearly jumped out of the drawer to be a mate to the blue. They share a common texture-look, though mine is ordinary cotton fabric. It turned out great. I'll be sending out in a day or two. I want to get a handful ready before I go to the post office.
