Your right Jeanne! These gals are very talented and make the best blocks to share with us. The best part is seeing them in person when you receive your package filled with fun blocks. It stretches my skills to another level to see how they are assembled and the color ways.

Love the smittens! I must have been on the same wave length. I also made a (1) mitten on a 6 1/2" square. Different colors then the smittens.
I also finished a 2nd block. That I nearly ripped to smithereens last night(ALL of them.). I'm sure glad I was able to suppress that action. I was able to selvedge the blocks today and think I am finally pleased with how they came out. I think I took out more seems then I put in. Sometimes, the way they the write pattern is NOT always the best way to construct the block. Oh well, it's done. So now I have 2 sets to share. Only 3 more to go. And my next set is already sitting next to my sewing machine cut and ready to be sewed together. Will post pictures tomorrow.
Really nice and fun blocks ladies. I sure am enjoying seeing all your pretty creative blocks. Thanks for the inspiration.

More great blocks from MDR. Great job!
I've been working on my blocks today. I have 3 completely finished and 3 more to go. So many other things got in the way and I had to put them on the back burner. I can now concentrate on them and get them to Red before the deadline.

Great blocks! How fun is the snoopy ones. I love them all though. You do such nice work.
Yes girls the deadline for signing up is tomorrow and four weeks until they have to be here to swap them out. Boy! The time is flying by, isn't it?

Really?? I hate them. I will send them anyway and those of you that want them it can just be extra. I will not count those as any of my sets of blocks. I think they are lame looking. I can do SO much better than that. I have 5 more sets I am working on. I am just trying to figure out what patterns to use with which fabrics. I have so many ideas, I can't make up my mind.
