WOW Linda - I think you had the Granny I always dreamed of but never had. Your picture that holds so so many memories is precious. You were indeed blessed.

Lovely pictures Caroline. Will love seeing the blocks in person.

WOrking on the rest of mine this weekend.

I heard from Alice and she is loving making hers.

We might have a small group this month but the blocks have a lot of heart in them.

Thank you Lori for posting the pictures of Caroline's blocks

What is the need to arrive by date?

I currently have my days and nights turned around, so I expect I can be sewing some of these blocks until about 5 a.m. lol. I just hope the blade template I'm cutting out is accurate.
Now, the arch is 1/8" higher than the 5" but just in the center, right? So when I turn under the 1/4" the total length from the tippy top, should be 4 7/8", correct? And as it goes to the sides, it will be gradually tapered to be 4 1/4" on the 2 sides. ??

The blocks I can see on here are just gorgeous.

Hi Joanne - Welcome!!! It is lovely to see you join us this month. Yes the blocks are lovely this month. Can't wait to see yours!!

Blocks need to be to me by the last day of the month.

I'm wondering about your measurements. Here's what you do
Cut your template according to the numbers on the picture with the edges of the petals being 5.5".
Sew them all together using 1/4" seam allowance.
Turn under the top 1/4". Do not sew until you are certain off the placement on the block. The edges of the petals will now measure 5.25".
Place petals on your background square with the top edge of the side petals 1.5" from the top edge of the square.

If you are on Facebook, please friend me and I will be happy to walk you through it. Teresa Kittredge

Thanks Linda for the update. Will let you know when theyvareb

HAPPY STITCHING
