MaryGo, your blocks are adorable. I started working on mine today. I think your colors looks great to me.
I don't know what's up with Teresa, she usually jumps in here quickly to answer.
I hope she isn't having problems.
I think your 6 1/2" will be fine like they are. I will share pictures maybe tomorrow.
Hope we get more ladies posting some pictures soon.
Flo is in this month and I don't remember just who else. Oh, yes, Valerie. Hope we get more people interested. Let's pass the word around and get some more participants!!
HUGS, 💕 Vel

Looks like Teresa isn't getting many people this month. It's a busy one for me too. I know how life gets in the way sometimes.

Hi Vel:

Thanks! I really didn't think about changing the main block until I was already finished. I was "getting into" making the trees. Hopefully, it is not an oops moment. I just wonder what everyone else did. Yep, it looks as though there are not as many participants this time. I'm going to try to get them into the mail tomorrow. I only have a few more leaves to stitch down. If some of these aren't usable I guess I could make a few more??????

I know what you mean about everyone being busy this month. I have an appointment with my quilter on Tues. That is why I rushed to finish this commitment first.

Happy sewing!!

Mary Go

MaryGo - Love, Love your trees!!! Very creative and I will LOVE them when the hand of the Picker picks ME!!!! LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!

Velda - Very thrilled your thinking cap is on. Eager to see what your make. My outer strips are all the same on each block but no worries. I didn't mention it so I know your blocks will again find a PERFECT place and be very HAPPY!!!!!!

Off to have a Cancer node take off my leg. I have asked for this for a looooooong time. I knew something was wrong because it kept hurting to the touch. Ugh!!!! Be back soon!!!

HAPPY STITCHING!!!!

Here's my 5 blocks. MaryGo, you were my inspiration with your beautiful trees.

Sorry Teresa about outer strips. I didn't understand about that. Hoped that variety was what you were looking for.

Oh yes, this would be a great month to be in the winner 🏆 circle. I can't wait to see more entries.
These go together so quick and easy. I know everyone is so busy, that's how it was with me. When I started to gather my fabrics, it was so fun!!
Cone on all you pals! Join, please! You might just be the lucky winner!!

Hmmmm - I am not certain I understand about the last strips. All I can see are beautiful creative blocks!!!

I am EXCITED and definitely need to get going on the rest of mine but I am laid up for 48 hours from the surgery. I stitches are so close to the knee bending that he doesn't want me up and walking or bending it for fear the stitches will pop. Was more extensive than I thought it would be but I know all will be well after a few days of pain pills and antibiotics.

HAPPY STITCHING and LOVING the FALL weather!!!! Pictures please if you can send them to my phone. I LIVE Fall through the eyes of others :) :) :)

Here is a copy of your post, Teresa. That's what I was talking about. I didn't keep the outer strips the same. I was trying to keep the blocks different.

Teresa:

Wishing you a speedy recovery!!!!!! I'm happy that you are taking care of it. Don't over do it.

I've been really busy this week but I decided to fix a few of my blocks to "change them up a bit". I just have several more to stitch down. Fingers crossed I'll ship them off tomorrow. I was able to get two quilts into the quilter yesterday. It feels good. One of them has been sitting around for about 4 years! Will post a photo when I get it back. Does anyone else dread making the back of a quilt? It is my least favorite thing to do.
After the front is done I'm just ready to move on to the next one.

Quiltgram8:
Lovely blocks. Yeah!!
