YES! Blueberry cheesecake! And, I LOVE the idea of making a doll quilt for my new granddaughter. I wondered what I was going to do with all those bits and bobs left over. She will be born sometime in March!

BTW - does anyone already have Edyta's book - (actually, I sure some do.) I have ordered it, but still waiting for delivery - the one with Strips and Scraps, but still waiting. I'd like to know the total yardage for the background colour and how large each block is unfinished...? Thanks.

Well, you all have taken me down memory lane! And, I'm a little misty eyed! My Dad absolutely LOVED locorice allsorts. He would bring home BAGS of them when I was a little girl, and so it reminded me of him. (He has been gone about ten years, now.) I love licorice also, but Good and Plenty is all I have found for a number of years. They are a far cry from allsorts! And, not nearly as colorful! Oh dear, now I want some! :shock: Another candy he loved was ribbon candy, like you find around Christmastime. He always made sure we had plenty of that in the house too!

Brenda, Ditto! Actually I checked out your profile earlier, and there were only two quilts. So, I was puzzled as to why you were standing in front of that particular quilt, and it wasn't on your profile! So, I guess I caught you in the middle of posting all of your lovely quilts. Congratulations for having a quilt in the Houston show! Your work is very nice!

Karen, I just checked out your work also. I WISH I could do nice traditional work...I try but end up doing a bit better with things that are kind of loosey goosey!

Thank you, Karen! I was so excited that it had been accepted into Houston's Show. i probably saw you there walking around!

Dawn;

Blueberry cheesecake it is ! Great name; don’t know why I got stuck on the teal

But, if you can think of another method that you think will work, go ahead with it!

Barbara, if you look at page 12 Margo has a pictorial tutorial as to how to label your spools. I did 3 columns of name and address per page rather than two. And I agree with Dawn, your blueberry cheescake looks good. Rita.

Barbara, they don't look teal on my monitor! They look like blueberry cheesecake with raspberry sauce. Yum!

Oh oh oh,

Here is a photo of my “Teal Meals”; sounds like a diet I should go on

Dear Wot Rott’s;

I will send a little extra money to help any lost monies due to US postal rate change. I have mine done and just need to figure out how I am going to label them. Mine are teal and I am unable to come up with a food group name other than “Teal Meal?”. I don’t know of anything that is teal except butterflies, lizards & frogs! These reels were difficult for me; made me feel like a beginner quilter! I had to cut them three times to get them just right. The 4 1/2 “ was a challenge, to make them look right I had to cut 1/8 th inch off each end so they wouldn’t look lopsided. I have 19 blocks that only turned out to be 4” long so I will be making some doll quilts out of them for my Granddaughters, lucky them! Quilt covers for their American Girl dolls!
I am off to research the Forum to try & find out how to label my completed blocks Oh, then there is having to pick out two fat quarters too!!
