Gumpsgirl, did you receive your block yet?

I thought I PM'd you and told you I did and I posted on the Feb. thread that I did. Sorry about that!

I took a pic of it last night to post today, but it looks like you beat me to it!

Oh... Did I mention that I absolutely love it?!?!

Thank you!​

 

[kycklingar!]

Hurrah, gumpsgirl! I'm SO glad you got it!

I'm pretty new to the forum thing, so the inbox and confusion over multiple threads has my head spinning sometimes!

But I'm getting the hang of it. Did you like your little blue orpington hen, too?

 

[gumpsgirl]

Yep! I LOVE it! I've shown the block and little hen to everyone that has come to visit me lately!

Thanks again!

really good straight lines are the most important skill!!! We're a tolerant bunch... I don't think I'm overstating if I say you'd be welcome, there's some really basic blocks you could start out with.

yep, and here's some other super easy ones too!

http://www.quilterscache.com/R/RailFenceBlock.html
http://www.quilterscache.com/W/WovenRibbonsBlock.html
http://www.quilterscache.com/N/NinePatchStraightFurrowsBlock.html

those three are all found at this site http://www.quilterscache.com/QuiltBlocksGalore.html and you can go crazy looking at all the blocks. Just remember, they're all doable, but careful measuring, matching seams and sewing straight seams without stretching fabric are all very important! Simple is always good though, don't get sucked into the complex stuff right off!!!
