    Quiltnut4ever I LOVE your block!!! :D:D:D
    I think it is the scant 1/4" that is throwing you too.

    What pattern are you using? Is it this one?

    And I forgot to say how much I love your fabric and pattern.
    That's just it less than 1/4" i thought it would be but I'll keep at it. I know it'll come out! THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED OUT, THAT'S WHAT I LOVE THIS BOARD!

    I have another block for review. I am still wondering about the chocolate fabric but have not heard back a reply yet as to weather it is ok to use or if I should get something different. By the time I decide on a block I might just have enough to do a quilt with MY samples.

    I do not know how to attatch a picture in the middle of a topic. will have to start a new one and post it there until I figure out how to get them here

    Thanks Colletta, Were the fabrics ok? I forgot to take pictures. I would have loved to post them but forgot to do that.

    I am still searching for the perfect fabric and quilt block pattern. I have a few hours so hopefully I will figure something out today. Went to 3 quilt stores and could not find the brown fabric that is in my mind LOL. :)

    I have that happen to me all the time! And then when I do find something close, it's always the most expensive fabric they have!
