Well....we're just cruising thru the sampler of blocks, aren't we? Hope you're having fun with them so far!!
Did you cast your vote on my last blog poll? I asked you to tell me....what is the smallest finished size Nine Patch block are you were willing to make? I found it very interesting that the majority of you (47%) said you would make a 1 1/2" finished block, with a 3" finished coming in second place (28%).
Hhmmm....I'll be keeping that in mind for future projects! My thanks to all who participated in my poll!! It's fun!
I've been busy traveling a bit, giving lectures and workshops, which allow me to meet some really great quilters....I love that!! I also met with a bunch of my own Prairie Women Wednesday evening for a pillowcase sew-in at my favorite local quilt shop, The Quilt Merchant, where we teamed up, and made several dozen pillowcases for our local charity. Do visit my blog again on September 13th when it's my turn to post as part of American Patchwork & Quilting magazine's blog hop all this month, all about making pillowcases for charity. Perhaps you can take a short break from stitching your next two Forget Me Not blocks and click over to many of the other participating designers for AP&Q's blog hop. Simply scroll down to my last post to see the list and click on the links!!
