Here are my first two, plus one for the extras box. When I sized up the 4 patch, it played so much nicer. Silly me. Pam

Pam, your blocks are fabulous! That striped fabric is awesome in this block. I need to get a move on with this one....maybe this weekend. Still not sure of the fabrics I will choose. Thanks for posting a pic of your blocks.

Beautiful, Pam!

The stripes are great in the Marie Webster block!

It is interesting to see everyone's interpretation. I am learning so much by being in these sew a longs.

I don't have the Stars across America book.
Can I find it anywhere else? Maybe i should re-read some of the postings?

Mel says that it's in one of the videos.

Two questions.....
1. When do we get the next set of blocks?
2. Did you have enough people pick blocks?

[bampish]

Donna, I think it's monthly, so the next blocks would be around the first of Feb. Also, I think Sandy needs 3 or 4 more choosers, so feel free to think of a block from an El book and a block from quilter's cache that reminds you of El- and then PM her.

The second blocks are chosen and I need one more person to choose blocks. Thanks.

Okay, we need some clarification on the Log Cabin block. El's is a 14" block, so Sharon and I were trying to convert it using Quilters Cache. She gave me some measurements and I made a block ( 2 1/2 center block, 1 1/2 logs) Well, it's too small. Here is what I have figured out. El's only has 3 dark, 3 light. QC had 5 dark, 5 light. So, if I can find 2 more dark and 2 more light, it might work. Otherwise, I will try 2 1/2 center, 2 1/4 logs. That is what my math comes out with.

I just wanted everyone to know the size conflict before they try it.

ATTENTION! ATTENTION! It Worked!!!


The log cabin block came out perfect. This is to change the Eleanor Log Cabin from 14 inches to 12 inches.....use a 2 1/2 inch center square and 2 1/4 inch logs. 3 darks and 3 lights.

It actually came out better than my Marie Webster. Maybe because it was all stripping. I only had to trim 2 threads width in one little place. Marie came out 1/8 inch short in one corner.

I hope this helps someone else out.
