No problem NZquilter. There is lots of time to make blocks and join in. I normally do lots of applique blocks. But, this time, I am trying to challenge myself to make pieced blocks. They are lots of fun to mix in with the applique and embroidery blocks. I love paper piece blocks also. But, I detest making them. I find I waste too much fabric. But, they also look great added in.

Hey, that is a cool block judith! I bet the new colors will be fun to work on.
I have finished the decorating for christmas and now I can get moving on sewing a little between shopping, cooking and cleaning.

Hi Judith, I'm mulling this over - I need practice! - to restate, I understand I could send 1 set of 4 quilt blocks. or 2 sets (8 blocks) --- all the way up to 5 sets of 4 blocks (20?)
I might join in - I took a paper piecing class recently and my 3 blocks came out wonderfully. My favorite one was a square in a square using 2 fabrics of which I wasn't particularly fond!
My youngest daughter saw one of the blocks and said 'Please frame that for me?' (she's getting it framed for Xmas I am sure she's forgotten it...)
I have a paper-piecing block book on order. Also, summertime IS the very best season of the year in my book.
Suggestion for border on those wonderful summer blocks of yours : yellow inside border, then darker gold outside? Or yellow/gold/yellow/gold/yellow gold etc in piano key style mimicking rays? Or maybe blue to settle it all down, like the blue behind Mr. Sun up top? You will get it sorted beautifully, I know.
