Well ladies I apologize for not having my blocks posted as of yet. I just now got up and found out we post our own site, sorry for the delay...

SINCE it is the first of the month Here are my choices:
#1 Colorwheel Geese
#2 Grandmother's Fan

I will try and made the site right now AGAIN I APOLOGIZE for being asleep at the wheel. This has been a very rough past 2 weeks for me and I can't seem to get caught up on my rest, I am fatigued to the hilt. I could of posted it after midnight last night sometime had I realized.

WOW!!!! on the geese block, Debo.I am going to give it a try. What a good way to learn the colorwheel.Plan to make the other one too.
Trina

PS. What does "bump" mean?

Trini, when I want to move a topic up to the top I post "bump" and it puts it on top!

debo - great choices. i've had it pretty easy on everyone's block choices and now i have a challenge and a chance to learn something new! i do like challenges, but i also have to admit feeling intimidated by paper piecing.

now admitting that - what does this "less than knowledgable" paper-piecing newbie (see how well i avoided saying "ignorant dummy"? ) need to know about the method? i have absolutely no clue what to do with that pattern for the color wheel!

and i've wanted to do a grandmother's fan block too. got lace from my mother's sewing stash that i will use on it too!! definitely a "my" side of the bed block!!

betty, i saw your question in the july thread. as you know, i'm doing the pastel fabrics too. but i had bought a "robin's egg blue" solid for the sashings, etc., so i am going to use that for the background of this colorwheel goose block. am i right in assuming that i need to go with some solid colors for the geeses? don't think my other fabrics will do, but the blue could be the continuity factor with this block. what you think?

Cindy, I would say yes but I want to play with my 1930's fabrics. My background choice is white and I don't have any solid 1930's fabric right now! I'll have to ponder what I'll do!

Okay, this is for all that have photo's in Album #03 for BPS-II! Would you please email a copy of the photo you have in that Album if you still have it. I am going to delete the Album and recreate it! It will not open for me! I can get into edit and everything is there and it will add, delete and edit but then it will not load. I have emailed Kim concerning this and have not heard from her so I'm going to do what I can to resolve this issue!

Thanks, if you do not have the block I can go with the ones I am saving from the site but they are rather small! So just let me know! I will be workin on it this week! Thanks

Betty

Attention to all! I have deleted the old Album #03 and recreated it! Take and look, see if it works right! Let me know! Now in copying some of the photos they are small. If you have the original photo send to me and I'll replace the one that is there now!
Betty

Betty thanks so much for making the site I am so very grateful.

Betty, Trina and Cindy
I am so happy to hear you like my block choices I really wrestled with chosing these.

Debo
I have done the colorwheel geese before and love to do it again..
Nice picks of the blocks. Cant wait for sunday when I can hammer them out.
Julia

Julia
thanks for the compliments
and I am tickled to hear that you like the pattern too.

Both patterns are neat, Deb. Great choices!

Also, I am using 30s fabrics for my blocks, and I am going to do the Geese in the 30s prints, with the off-white background fabric I've used in all the other blocks. No solid colors in this quilt top. LOL

The Grandmother's Fan, too will look wonderful in the 30s prints.
