oh i see how it is. lOL NOW you tell me I can omit and substitute blocks after that last start LOL Its ok did you check out how I fixed it LOL ROFLOL too funny.

I agree about the two kids walking applique that one is wierd can we do a dutch girl instead:)))) Please its like my favorite block:))

Ok Vicky no I am not really sending Tess my fabric I was very tempted though ))

Izzy
I posted all my blocks under week 18:);

[Tess]

Izzy your blocks are always beautiful!!! I really meant I'm NOT sticking something in my quilt that I don't like. There are 2 blocks I have a problem with---one I don't like and the other I can't get made. The easiest solution for me is to substitute something else.

I went and looked at your blocks. Yes I see what you did SMART GIRL. Looks great.

[Susie]

You all crack me up!!! I haven't even started mine yet. Tess, I am glad you posted those tips for that center of the star. I was about ready to borrow my husband's sander if it didn't lay flat. It might work better than my hammer. Wish me luck. I am going to go read a book and will tackle these tomorrow.
My plan is to use the blocks that are the right size and that I like and make a quilt for our bed. The leftover blocks I will either make shams or something with. I think if I used all the blocks in one quilt it will be way too big for our bed. Is that ok Tess????
Susie

[Tess]

Susie that's a great idea. I may not use all the blocks either, but then I may use this quilt in my company bedroom. It would be perfect for that bed---shams would be nice.

I'm anxious to start setting these blocks together. I have a couple pieces of fabric in my stash I may use. I'd love to make this quilt completely with something I already have...

Izzy- I did the same thing with my Dove in the Window...not a hard block but when I'm looking at the pattern my dark and light are reversed.... I have had to unsew I don't know how many blocks because if it.

[billizzy]

Izzy

[billizzy]

Dont laugh at my fabrics in childrens delight. I picked fabrics that my DD would like Bright colors LOL but I really do like it Now dont know how it will look in my quilt when done but its ok:))

the fabric background for friendship star is letters. Neat huh.

Izzy

[Tess]

Izzy love your star-it's perfect. Your blocks are pretty....

[Susie]

Oh woe is me...that blazing star about did me in. I worked all day yesterday sewing, ripping, sewing, ripping and it still doesn't look good in person (but that is the way it is going to stay!) Izzy, yours looks great.....did you really do it yourself??? Or did you bribe Tess to do it? LOL I LOVE that letter fabric you used. My gosh, this blazing star was for me the hardest to do. I just had a horrible time. Now off to work on my much easier dresden plate!
