My books have been shipped from Australia. Hopefully it won't take weeks before getting here!
Lets see which ones arrive first: the GTSB or the other 4.

Thank you!!

Nice looking blocks! And if you the navy looks out of place to you, replace it now. It will never be easier to replace than right now! Too often I've thought - maybe - and then decided I didn't want to bother. I'd say in most cases I end up wishing I had, but decide I can live with it. But usually it ends up being a quilt that goes in my "give away "pile even if I had originally planned to keep it.

So I've gotten way better about taking the time to change things. The truth is the most common reason I don't is that I'm impatient. There is no reason for that, I just get in a rush and then forget that I don't have a deadline on getting quilts done. My life is too full of deadlines I'm just use to operating like that.

Thanks Macebaby!
I made another block with the dark blue fabric. Just a tiny 3" finished one so the fabric won't be noticed. I think I'm going to replace the dark blue in the large block. I'm quite sure I always will 'see' it and wonder why..........

I'm like you, impatient but for me without having any deadlines. Lately I'm learning to adjust things, replace pieces, resew seams......well you get it . We're never too old to learn!!

I get impatient too. Mine stems from not wanting things "un-done"/not completed, which is the reason why I have no UFO's and work at it to not have any. I take the time now and fix things if I don't care for it. I did that with Sylvia...I think I remade 5 or 6 blocks. When I first started quilting, I couldn't make a quilt fast enough....there were so many things I wanted to learn. Sylvia taught me a lot and.......wore me out.

Glad the books are on the way, Anael...You've got a few projects ahead of you. Wonderful!

I made a couple of pieced blocks yesterday in Section 2 of GTSB and, today, I'll finish up an applique block for same section. I'm just taking my time and loving my dots and stripes... I won't get the section done before my trip this weekend but that's OK.

Teen

A few blocks for section 2. Kind of took some liberties with the berry basket. Thought the basket needed sprucing up a bit..

Anael

Gorgeous blocks Teen!!!!! I thought you were off to make a jelly roll quilt......

My GTSB book will be shipped tomorrow so it that's true it will be here Thursday. Yeahhh fingers crossed.
Knowing the propeller block is 3 1/4 " finished I already made a few
In the meantime I'm thinking about the GW strips. Should I do them in bright colours or tone it all down a bit.....or both.......decisions!!!

Hi Anael, I think your Gypsy blocks will stand out more if you keep your strips not so bright. Maybe a mixture of creams or beiges. Or even white on whites and very light gray. What do you have on hand to play with? I think it really depends on the look your going for with this quilt.

Teen, more adorable blocks. I think your berry basket is very cute. I really like your background fabric.
