Just a word about the 2 yards.
I found that you just barley have enough to do the 5 1/2 inch squares. If you haven't purchased your fabric I would buy 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 yards each. With 1 yard each there is NO room for error. OK so we don't make errors! :-) But when cutting the 5 1/2 strips for the triangles I had to leave a couple of blocks with some of the white from the salvage. Once you square it up and take your 1/4 inch seem it shouldn't show.

Check out the "AutoQuilt#2--question of size of strips" thread to see how I have been doing my blocks. So easy!

Hi everyone!

Bev/Nadine2007 mentioned taking pictures. I think that is a great idea. I have mine and will up-load them. I'm waiting to hear from her as to start a thread in the Quilting photos section. Once she lets me know I'll have mine in.
I Hope everyone has a picture or two to put on. It will be so great to put a block with the picture. So grab a camera and have someone take your picture while you are making these blocks.

I'll print the picture and add comments as to who, what, when, where. Then I'll make up a small album to go with my finished quilt.

Welcome Oasis!

WHEW I finished my blocks! And I thought I would have a problem with the Oct 31st deadline. They went much quicker that I thought. Now I must sign them. I'll take my time with that so I don't get writers cramps!

Guess Bev took a much needed break. I'm sure she will post the last few people that signed up. I lost track but I think there are only a couple slots left. YEAH we almost have our 40.

Happy sewing to all!
Have a great weekend!
Kathy

I have added a place to show off your blocks! This has been approved by Bev our fearless leader! :-)
Go to quilting photos thread and look for "Photos for the Autograph Quilt #2".

Please show us yourself at work on your autograph quilt. If you have already sent in your blocks maybe you could show us a picture of yourself in your sewing room.
This will give you a preview of what blocks you will be getting!
We hope to see as many as possible of the 40 people that have been making these blocks. Great for a scrapbook!

I'd like to join the swap if there's still an opening. I found the fabric and even tho I'm a little nervous about this I'm thinking it might be fun.
