Good luck on your open house Teen! I hope you get a great offer quickly.
Your Santa quilt top looks fabulous!! I love the addition of the trees. Your quilt is wonderfully balanced. I know your going to enjoy displaying that quilt top at Christmas. Your applique is second to none!! Simply awesome!!
Anael, I didn't realize there were so many pineapple blocks and churn dash blocks in this quilt. They are really great. And your pineapple blocks take on a cool secondary design when they are put together. Really really great job. The top looks awesome!!!

In other quilts there are even more churn dash blocks (and other blocks LOL)!!!

Thank you Teen!!
Well, why are there two lines on the templates then? One for..........and one for????????? If they are exact size, why is there a second inner line? I know your name is not Jen Kingwell
Not sure if I"m going to start Happy Birds. I might start Midnight at the Oasis and let you do the Happy Birds. That way you can tell me what to do and more important, what NOT to do .

.The directions are a bit confusing; however, at the end of the sentence it says "or use precut papers with 1" side measurement". If you measure a side on the inner line, it is 1" so this is the finished size of hexi. The outer line is the seam allowance. Go forth and whack that fabric...lol...

RE: Jen Kingwell "Gypsy Wife" booklet. After purchasing, and reading several times, sorting fabric scraps, etc. I have decided to use all my assorted sizes/patterns of blocks already sewn to attempt this quilt. Planning to use 2" strips rather than the 1 1/2" in book, and will use graph paper to design my quilt top following her photos/ideas.

Quiltqtrs..... Sounds like a great way to use up some scraps and unique design with the wider strips. I haven't attempted this pattern yet but others here have with great success. looking forward to seeing your progress pictures and welcome to the Kingwell group.
