When I made the bars I really felt my quilt needed more colour so I replaced the white background Bars with coloured ones…now I realize that I probably should have stuck with Sophies’ design as the background stripes would have let in some light and moved the eye through the block more easily. At this point, I am not going to pick it out and start again but, I do sense a denseness of colour in this block and it comes out heavier...

I missed the month we did this block but, finally I have had the time to try it and catch up on the mod mod for that month! Yay! I really enjoyed making this block, it is a very happy little block. I wasn’t sure but, were we to put a dream in each center?…I did....

Hi Pat K. and Nancy B. your Woven Bars were sent this afternoon, You will probably see them this time next week! Have fun Ladies…I can see great possibilities with these blocks!

This doesn’t mean I’m caught up, I jumped ahead because I couldn’t figure out how to get the joined Sun points skinny at the join without needing to take in too much of the background fabric causing it to warp at that same join and not be 14 inches anymore…HELP! I am to have 2 pieces of background fabric right? Now I am thinking maybe it should be 1 piece with the center cut...

FINALLY! Very Cheerful little blocks…I hit a snag on my background fabric though. When Sophie gave us the fabric requirements, I as a new quilter, thought,”Snort, HOW</em could it possibly take that much fabric?" Well, now I know!!! I have waited through the store's Inventory but, still none of the same fabric has appeared!!! What a surpise! So, I decided to just buy something else and mix it up a bit…I am not...
