Just went out there and watched this video. Fascinating! who is teaching the video? Very nice blocks and love her finished quilt. My computer stopped every 10 min to reload or something but so worth the wait.

Thank you so much. No idea if I could keep up with this but what a nice way to learn some new blocks. You made my day! Better than tv anytime. I would rather be in the sewing room anyway.

Hugs, Shirley mae

Are these 4.5 inch blocks? Maybe but I am busy with LUB blocks but I will think about it
I am a gluten for punishment

so I can just add a few more 6.5 blocks and be cool. I will definetly have to consider this.

[larynx]

Well, Tina...since its you and Izzy I can't help but to say I'm in..AND it's being done the QIAD way..AND its 3 a month...AND I keep them all!......I need to look at the book..maybe I will use my Victory Quilt fabric on this....or depending on the fabric requirements it may be perfect for the feed-sack I have hoarded over all these years..Sonya (AND there are Videos!)

[gershwin64]

Way cool Sonya all the things you said I said myself LOL I think I'm going to use a FQ collection I've been hording for just the right occasion it's pinks hehe

[gershwin64]

Katy LOL I said that same thing.....we're funny huh

[auntjana]

Well, I guess I will have to watch the video I was wondering if the block was the one in the Barn Quilt book, but as I read, it is smaller. I need to double check, there was a smaller 6.5 inch block there as well. Humm, will see if I have enough fabric laying around here....
