The deadline date for posting, does everyone post on that date, or do some send them off early?

And...no, we aren't sick of questions....yet :wink: :lol:

I was sooo impressed with that block, that I have been able to remember how many pieces there are in it! and! where the pattern is in any number of ten different books! - - LOL
have just never had a reason to accomplish the deed, so I am really thinking NOW is the time!
THen, I signed up for a second RR, just trying to be helpful, so I am thinking, and still thinking what to do for the center on that quilt.
Question!
The carpenter's wheel is square ... I prefer rectanglular (is that a word???) quilts ... so, what would some suggestions be to take the square and add to it to create the center rectangle?

Yes, I know I said no when SOMEONE asked me but reading everyone's posts about nerves and being afraid of messing up someone else's quilts and not having time and postage costs and all the other excuses i came up with NOT to say yes, all answered by Elle and Patti - well, I said to myself 'don't be such a wuss, Kathryn, you'll be pig sick when you start seeing all those lovely quilts growing borders!' So I'm in - if you still want me! Internationally, obviously, I'd be pretty lonely doing a French one on my tod! :D Just read that though again, should i hit 'submit'? YES, I DID it! :lol:
