    Annaquilts, I know you are making a CAL King, and that is the reason you are making 4 times the number of blocks. You are so creative and skillful at choosing fabrics for a block, have you thought about using the same block, such as Woven Time, and using 4 different sets of fabrics? Changing the fabric would make the blocks look completely different. I know you are not soliciting advise, but I keep running back to your blocks to admire them because they are so eye-catching......you have quite a talent there. (mine, by comparison, are kind of blah)

    Wow there are some really great blocks here ladies. I love them all. I need to start mine before I get to far behind. Wonderful color choices too.

    Thank you Jane. Those are some of my new fabs from Vicksburg. I went in looking for FQs but found better deals in the remnant bin... they were 50% off!

    Can't wait to see yours, Mary!

    Yes but since I am running it through Sizzix die cutter it is easier to do it this way. I will have so many blocks any ways it will not be noticeable. Thank you for your input. You are definitely right.

    Connie that's so pretty. I went with a mauve kinda color for my pink. Please don't look close at my points.Thanks to Paint me Judy and her wonderful Mystery Train rides I have learned to make hst without crying.lol. She puts them in all the mysteries I think. My pictures are kinda dark the black looking squares are really a semi dark brown.

    Gorgeous blocks, ladies! There were a lot of little HSTs in that second one, weren't there? But it's worth it. So pretty.
