Four X for September

Here I am again. Not so sure what September will bring and I do want to complete blocks in a timely manner... Truth is that I got the squares cut using Val's 7/8" ruler last weekend when I had the opportunity. No "Three Bears" experience this time - the block wasn't too big or too small, just right. The block measured exactly 12 1/2 " without any trimming...  Enjoy putting this one together with that scant 1/4" seaming.

My Whig Rose

Since this was my second attempt at machine applique, I wasn't quite as nervous about the process, and enjoyed seeing the flower come together. Steam-A-Seam certainly makes the job easier! It's great to see all of your different fabric combinations - great! I enjoy watching the blog for the other quilt squares... especially since I can get in all by myself now:) Looking forward to a fall get together:)

Block 4

I hand appliqued this block using the freezer paper method.  Anxiously waiting for more posts from other members of the group.  Let's start thinking about getting together this Fall.  Val, does your offer still stand?

Block 4

I'm IN on my own:)

I would like to thank all of those many out there that have worked to enable me to post under my own name. Joan for your persistence, Val for for never-ending belief that I could get in, and of course account recovery! Yeah! Next block will be posted under MY name!

Millie and Mary

I've snuck in through Val's post... Where there is a will there is a way! Although she did supervise the creation of this block, Miss Millie is trying to point out flaws! Thanks goodness for the Wing Clipper! This block was great fun to do... Love seeing all of the new blocks :)    Lynn

Block #3 Framed Variable Star

Thanks to Mary Church Terrell for fighting for our women's rights!!

I also used the Wing Clipper ruler to make this block in another pink and brown combination.

Stay cool my friends....
