In other news, I'm hoping to catch-up on my Virtual Quilting Bee blocks before we get Block #11 tomorrow. I've fallen behind a tiny bit this summer, but I'm planning to get back on track this weekend.
In case this happened to you too, when making Block 10 my block ended up small, but one simple fix worked. Instead of cutting my corner triangles from two 2 ⅞" blocks, I cut two 3 ⅛" squares and cut them on the diagonal. Voila. My block was bigger. If this one, or any of your blocks, end up smaller than 8 ½" unfinished, don't panic. The layout for this quilt will solve any block sizing woes.
I also finished a few more scrappy-trip-along blocks, this time Christmas ones for a bee-swap for Sherri. Any little bit of sewing finishes count, right?

My mom just moved into a new house and the whole basement has orange carpet! It's way too much to replace, so I'm thinking of making an orange and navy quilt for one of the guest bedrooms to try and give it a touch of modernity. 😉 Your blocks look great and the colors make me want to start!

Great blocks Amy! A hst class sounds like a lot of fun. Are you and your kids still volunteering at the pioneer place (shoot -- I can't remember what you called it ;-D!)

Great advice on block #10. I had to do the same thing! We are getting closer and closer to a finished project. I can't wait to see it all come together!

Oh I'm still sad that I won't be at Sewing Summit this year. All of my savings to attend went to buy my long arm machine. Next year for sure.
