Happy New Year!!

Here are my choices for the January blocks. I hope you like them! Mine are done in kids fabrics with an off-white background. I had so many little scraps sitting around from blocks throughout the year, that I thought a strip block would be perfect to use up some of those little scraps.

Michigan Block



Roman Stripe Block

Now I'll see if I can get the pics uploaded <g>

Very lovely choices.. I will knock them out today and see what we get.... Hungry now and biscuits sound very good right now.... We got about 6-8 of new snow last night and Its still comingn down...
Julia

good choices char!! and your blocks look great! i love your bright scrappy look! will get the block patterns printed and in the pile!! LOL

Wouldn't both of these be great with our Christmas strips? Just need to cut them in half!!! (or a little more). And choose a red white green blue black or or or for the center triangles/squares. Hmmm! The ideas!

Interesting blocks! I have made the Roman stripe before, when our guild did Amish colours (all solids) for the BOM.
yep, those would be good like that, Linda. I'll be sticking with my colour scheme, though. I'm making mostly 6" blocks.
Thanks, Char!

Me, too - sticking with the color scheme I mean.

Going to be interesting.

I still have to make LAST month's blocks, and one from earlier. Plan to get caught up. yeah, right! Caught up in WHAT, you say?

Great job Char! I love the blocks. They are so colorful...this is my month to play catch up on a lot of things!

Happy New Year everyone! Don't eat too much but make sure you have those Black-eyed Peas, Cabbage and cornbread for good luck through out 2008!

Betty

yep! got the b-e peas in the crockpot and will send billy to KFC for the slaw while i make the cornbread! LOL now my baba would be asking me "where's the hog jowl??" she firmly believed you had to cook that with the b-e peas! of course she always thought we should actually eat it too . . . whether you have hog jowl or not, it's gonna be a good year!

Well Happy 2008 everyone. Just finished cleaning the kitchen after our traditional New Year's Day meal of Boiled Cabbage, Black-eyed Peas, Smoked Pork Chops and cornbread! Ymmmm
! Ymmmm! Too full for desert so we will skip it right now.

Oh Betty it is almost time for lunch and I just read your post... Lord I wish I had a plate full of your New Years Meal right now.

guess it is leftover chicken and dumplings for me.

Best wishes
