I know you'll work out what ever is bothering you about these blocks because you're always so good about that.

I believe when it all comes together with the other blocks and the borders it will be striking. I thought it looked like your poor "oops", "humility" block had the chicken pox. :) I agreed with the thought it wasn't the red in the background fabric but rather the competition of pattern sizes in the fabrics, that were side by side. Congratulations to those who were winners of your fun prizes! Thank you Thelma for your blog and your generosity. I enjoy learning from you. Oh, that is what I was going to tell you--save your "humility" block for the day you may teach a quilt class--a great learning tool for others! There is a lot to how the fabrics are placed together in a quilt--you do have a gift that way and your work is beautiful!!<br />Beverly in WA state<br /><br />p.s. re:charm packs. There have been times I have ordered them off e-bay to just get a feel for a fabric line. Often I am unable to get to a store to see fabrics first hand and am not sure if I want to invest or not for a quilt. I am often able to find them for under $6 each with shipping. They work good for the Schnibble table topper patterns.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-56056868511599958142010-11-11T15:23:23.230-06:002010-11-11T15:23:23.230-06:00I think the blocks are very pretty.

Sometimes I love a fabric line as well and then find it difficult to work with. I have been admiring Maison De Garance but I will be interested in hearing if you enjoy it when you are done. I bought Bon Voyage and am now wondering if it was a mistake.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06889518100132887182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-86705989681906399582010-11-11T12:48:29.508-06:002010-11-11T12:48:29.508-06:00This quilt is going to be beautiful.
