I found that the method with the single large triangle created better results, flatter seams, easier to match points.  I hope to make more! Glad to be back and I would love to win these blue & white beauties!...

Here are my 6 blocks for this month.  I don’t seem to have much purple in my stash despite the fact that it is one of my favourite colours....

I made 5 blocks this month. I will donate all of them. I used the nine patch method. I then made 6 blocks for the McDonald sampler. I went totally scrappy using the same nine patch...

I was just going to make six and after I had the same purple cut out I realized my mistake, all six would be the same. Ugh. Oh well, I continued onward and made those six plus four others that do follow the rules. Plus a leftovers block at the end to use up my bits and pieces. And that blue that looks really dark is not really that dark.   So a total of eleven, all to donate to the pot.  Hope that’s okay,...

8 birds are being donated to the pot  Good luck...

I think the birds are blue with cold today–single digits here in Chicagoland. Sophie, I am donating...

My 7 little hatchlings are for donation as time for quilting is in scarce supply here. Ignoring that completely, I hope to make Sophie’s Rainbow Sampler this year and am very happy with my first block. That light fabric is rather old and I am very fond of it. The difference in weight doesn’t look nearly so odd in...

Here are my 9 blocks for the draw. Love these, and I hope to participate more often in 2016....

This is my third one. Sigh. Had trouble with it. They always turned out slightly larger even though my squares were 2 1/2 and you can’t really trim them. Amazing how a tad on one seam can add up when you have 4 seam allowances. Got to have patience. Happy...

Happy New Year everyone! I have sewn 2 blocks so far and I must say I love how they turned out. They will make stunning quilt. I am planning more…. hopefully before the end of the month! Thank you Sophie for a brilliant tutorial....

Hey Y’all here’s my Birdies!! Nine Block of ’em!!!...

Hi everyone,  I have finished 4 blocks so far and thought that I should post them so they will be entered in the draw. Not sure I will get anymore done. Enjoyed doing this block.Thanks for your hard work Sophie and  for keeping the group going.  Hope everyone is having a great new year so far. Julie, my 4 wonky strips went into the mail last Friday. Happy quilting, :)Carol from Calgary, Alberta, Canada
