Thank You, Betty!

I will be PM'ing my info to you next

I can just imagine how you know this ... and I just know if I try it, the one I have already to go will be picked the month before mine. So I will wait for the month to be picked and then figure what I would do next.

I shall have to get working on an April block. I have decided to use some Decadent Victorian fat quarters that I have stashed for these blocks. I have been trying to think of a good use for them, now I have one Pat

Oh Pat that is great! Victorian Fabric sounds like it will be perfect. I'm trying to use 1930's fabrics but my stash is limited so I forsee a trip to the lqs for more!

Betty

Thanks, Betty,

I think I will have to get a few more pieces of this fabric once I start cutting it up for blocks, although it blends pretty well with some other fabric in my stash. I do not have enough for a quilt. There are only a few bolts and fat quarters left at two quilt shops near me so it is starting to go in sale racks. I love going through the sale baskets .... Pat

I've been working on our Album, you will discover that we have only one now for BPS!

Also I have attached a photo that was sent to me to post and I didn't label it so I have no clue who made it. I want to post it in the Album so if you made it please tell me who you are. There were 2 but I believe one was an alternate block and since we only posting one block I will just show the one.

I want to also bring to everyone's attention that we began BPS-II with April, 2007. I know it doesn't seem like a year has gone by but I was thinking that we should try to get BPS to run from January to December. I want to know what you think.

If you agree, then I will create a new list with the current members as you have signed up and we will continue just as we have been.

In other words, we would begin Jan, 2008 with Char77's blocks and go until we reach Dec, 2008. Right now we have member filling those months up until November 2008. So if we do not pick more member then I will go back to the top of our list beginning with Gerda.

Please let me know what you think about this. We will keep our photo's until we all understand how this will work. I believe as we add months I will begin to remove months beginning with the April, 2007 blocks.

But I want you input so give it to me please!

Thanks a bunch. As you can see I've been working to catch up my blocks. I've added some old blocks that were lost but I also added a block I finished to Twisting Burrs. Boy was it something to do!

Betty -

Unless someone else is using the same fabrics as moi, that un-named block is mine. But it is the alternate and I have posted the other block, so you can delete it. I didn't delete it - JUST in case someone else also wants to claim that block. But I pulled out my block, and that's it! LOL! I must have sent that to you a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago, I seem to remember I had trouble posting that month.

Jan thru Dec sounds great. That way it stays on a calendar year.

And you are saying that blocks over 1 year old will be deleted? OK! Guess I need to start sewing my BPSII blocks together? Since I made most of the Alts too, I have enough for a quilt.

Linda, I thought I as we advance a month, I would remove the oldest block!

That way we will keep our Album pretty for visitiors! lol

Betty

Okay, Ladies I'm catching up! I've posted another block in the Album.... I just finished Aunt Sukey's Choice that Linda chose!

I've got to take a break until I can get some more 1930's fabrics. I'm running out of color combinations!

Betty
