15 BLOCKS - YEA!!!!! (I tried to make it 16 blocks but ran out of energy)

My Laptop has been kicking me out all day. Hoping this time works.

Teresa, I'd like to see if I can get some Honey Bee blocks done for this one.
Tina

Perfect Tina Thanks for joining me.

Hope to see more come aboard. It is early

I put down for the Mexican star envisioning flowers for the colors and a pebble walkway from corner to corner. Sweet

Now I have 2 quilts to quilt by the end of March plus Lotto blocks. I believe I have given myself ample time to do all stress free

TERESA - put me down for Greek Cross. I'll take this project camping with me along with my UGRR swap blocks. My luck it will be all sunny and I'll be outside with no time to sew and I'll come home with sewing things to still be done!

Teresa. I am going to do grandma's tulip.

FABulous choice Lori! Happy to have you joining us.

Don’t forget you can make different blocks.

I've cut all the pieces to make four blocks and have them packed into my sewing cubby in our fiver. Looking forward to getting started.

Great news Mary. When do you leave and which way are you headed?? Wonder if we will cross paths

Teresa, we are only going camping for eight nights on the Washington coast. If you think you might be there camping too, I’ll keep my eyes peeled for you!
