As much as I like the churn dash block, I don't like making 21 in a row!!! So I think I would alternate between these blocks and some others.

I still didn't get my Green Tea and Sweet Beans book. It turns out that quilt shop sold this book to me but they don't have it themselves I kept asking why I didn't receive the book and finally they answered. They ordered it in Australia.......I told them they could have said so before taking my money!! First time I ordered from them, never again.

Christine....love your blocks. That one has so many pieces...yikes... You piece beautifully...and thank you for compliment. I love to applique and have tried just about every method. Appliquick method works best for me....super easy and lovely finish. I do not enjoy handwork... I did needlework for years and it burned me out. Lol...

Judith....Please share your churn dash quilt.... I love that block....so many things you can do with block layout and the center. Three sizes sounds really neat.

Anael.....OMGoodness!! That is so rude and unprofessional. Are they refunding you? I bought mine from Amazon and it came next day. Not sure if that is an option for you. How disappointing. At least you have GW to work on. Do you have more blocks to share?

i didn't sew yesterday....just cleaned my sewing nook and office. Getting ready for our trip again. We leave this weekend. Need to prep some stuff to take to work on in evenings.

Anael

No they didn't, I didn't ask for a refund. But if I had known I would have ordered the book in Australia myself, together with the other 4! Most of the time I order from Amazon in the UK but this time that wasn't an option as they don't have Jen Kingwell patterns/books.
I remember that same quiltshop was selling precuts for the 365 challenge. The designers told not to use large prints because of the small pieces needed and what did they sell amongst other fabrics? Large prints, really huge ones!!

I have more blocks but I need to make a group shot. I finished all blocks of section 1, 2 and 10. Section 3 needs only one more block, section 4 also one more. The other sections need more blocks.
I will try and make a group shot tomorrow as I need to clear my design wall.

Anael

I cleared the design wall and made a group shot. What do you all think? I'm not sure about the dark blue fabric with the golden stars.

Anael, it will work if your going add in more dark blue here and there. If not, it is a kind of stand out block.

Anael

I'm leaning towards replacing the dark blue. I've studied the other blocks and I don't see I'm going to use the same fabric (or another dark blue) again so it will stand out and I don't like it.

Anael - Just sort of snooping around on this thread to see what you all are doing. What a happy, happy quilt you are going to have! You always use such cheery fabric. I don't think the blue with gold stars is too dark - it blends in well, IMHO.

Anael

Thank you DonnaPea!!!

Anael.....I guess the shop has a bit of a reputation it would seem. Hopefully,you'll get it soon and will have it ready when you are ready to tackle it. Your GW looks awesome and I favor a dark anchor fabric so I like the dark blue if you can squeeze it in on other blocks. Kind of like the use of my black on SBS....doesn't have to be much....but, with or without, this will be gorgeous and bright. Your fabrics are sublime. There's smoke coming out of your sewing room, girl.....you are hustling' on this pattern.. So cool...

Anael

Thank you Teen!!
For now I'll leave the dark blue, but I still think about replacing it. I can do a few small 3" ones with dark blue and see if that works with the large block.
