ok, at first my intention was to send these blocks with the September lotto blocks. Then, these weren't cooperating, so I just addressed the envelope and put the September blocks in it and left it open as I needed the $2.00 and it was in my purse up stairs. Well, the first set I did didn't go together very well and I had cut out and started a second set, figuring I would keep the first set for me. Because I had started the second set, I said to myself, just sew these together and get them out of the way and next week we can work on getting the ones done for the lotto. Well, wouldn't you know it, because I wasn't trying to make them perfect, they turned out pretty good. So, here are the ones I sent with the September lotto blocks (good thing I didn't seal the envelope). This was a tricky block and I don't think I will be making that quilt any time soon.

and using the leftover 1/2 square triangles and making a couple more, here is the one I am keeping for me

So now I have a month and 1/2 to get christmas sewing done. I know what I am making, have all the fabric and batting and thread, etc., just need to get them sewn.

I'm in for four (4) sets of blocks a total of 16 6 inch blocks. I mailed them today and they should be in your hands by Thursday. I sent something for the "hand of the picker" too.
Thanks

TERESA - those birds really put it in gear! They must have rode the thermals or something because I only mailed them 48 hours before you got them!

JO, I had to laugh about your blocks. Isn't that the way it always goes! Beautiful colors!

Debbie - Wonderful blocks as well and I loved the little note you included in each baggie telling us about you and the FQ is absolutely STUNNING. Please tell me where I might be able to get some more!!! This would make a beeeeeeeeeautiful Fall Quilt.

TERESA.......My 8 birds are in the air as of noon today (Saturday)! The "leaf" squares are in a separate envelope, as I had the other pkg all closed up when I remembered the squares. Should be there on Monday I would think.

Have Fun,
Linda S / OASIS

O goodie, goodie. It will be nice to see some birds landing soon. Nothing but ravens in my backyard.

I totally forgot to look and see if the others sent the extra blocks for the leaves. Thanks for reminding me : ): )

Teresa, I pinned the extra leaf squares to my blocks. If you have more than one winner, you want the matching scraps to go with the right blocks, right?
