Glad your finger is getting better, speedy recovery is always a plus:) marija, some live here full time and some like me are snow birds. We hope to do it every year with those that are here.

So happy terri that your finger is doing so well and that you can sew some pillowcases. Hope your finger continues to heal quickly.

It was lovely to meet everyone that made it on Saturday. My husband and I had a good time, even though I spent too much money! I have managed to get 4 blocks done since then. I have to get these done and mailed so I have room to take the new fabric back to Ohio with me.

For marija: Little Blossoms

For All2Pieces: sorry about how bright the colors look, you know your gold is not that loud.

For FrancieYuhas: inner points are pale yellow, outside is pale pink

for Terriamn: You were supposed to get the same type of star as FrancieYuhas, but instead of cutting my squares into fourths, I sewed them like you do when you want to get 8 half square triangles. Brain did not kick in until after I cut them. Oops! That left me with 16 three inch triangles, so I had to improvise the center. Hope it will work with your other blocks.

Whoa, that last block loaded huge! It should be the same size as the others. Don't know why that fabric is causing so many problems.

Biblestone, I think you made a great mistake love the block.

every time I show dh one of these blocks he just shakes his head and looks at me like I'm crazy. Personally agree that wave is out there and still no idea how I ended up buying it but loving the blocks despite the weirdness .

Thanks for showing us some great blocks, Bibliostone! I've never seen that little blossom block, but it's wonderful. The new block you invented for Terri is awesome... goes well with her wavy watery fabric. Well done on all of them!

Hey Terri, wouldn't it be funny if your hubby opens a gift next Christmas, and it's the wavy fabric quilt! I mean, because he loves it so much.... :D

Bibliostone - That is a great blossom - had to look twice to realize it wasn't curved. I think this swap there seems to be more of "It started as x but ended as y" and those blocks are awesome looking. Now if I tried to copy it - nothing would go together! Great job

Yep I like that block for Terri too Bibliostone. I have two butterflyblocks finished like that. They were both supposed to be from the same pattern. Neither likes like the pattern and they don't look exactly like each other either. I like them anyway.

Biblio...thanks for the great block!
