The FWS Quilt-Along Week 19 Blocks 37 & 38 Discussion Page
#12
It's been a while since I made 37 but I paper pieced it. The Yahoo group's pp pattern breaks into 9 pieces which is a bit like using templates. I managed it in fewer pieces but I can't remember how. Sorry. :0(
Honchey! Why don't we have a permanent discussion thread pinned to the top ala the Jane Stickle thread?

Have paper pieced the first row and have decided to walk away before I mess it up again.
Hopefully my block will be finished tomorrow when DS goes to work and DH goes fishing and I can concentrate without interruptions :P (don't tell them I said that) he he he

#38 is just a series of half-square triangle units with two sets of four square pieces. If you do them as HST, you can lay them out and be sure that everything is as it should be, and then assemble it row by row.

Ah! I meant just a discussion thread pinned to the top like the Jane group has. Their pic threads are still posted weekly and unpinned.
Combining is good, too.
I just think it's a drag that you have to post 3 threads and maybe a pinned thread, or combined thread, would foster more communication? Just a thought.
Interesting that you can't use block names from the book. I get it but all the ones I know from blockbase, like "Economy" and "Contrary Wife," have that name for real.

This is the only block that has given me grief and I think it was because I was getting interrupted too much. Hubby works away and had just arrived home and wanted to chat and eat and drink several cups of coffee and I just couldn't sit and concentrate. I have the block half done and will post later today. Thanks heaps :)
