I love how this forum works. You are all doing a fabulous job and what teaching material developed from this class. I really enjoy to see it all.

Thanks, everyone. You're welcome to use any of my design changes. My computer decided to restart and install updates as I was writing this so had to start over. I must have hit a wrong key. I'm thinking of giving this quilt to my DH for his next milestone b-day next month if it looks masculine enough so need to hurry and finish it. Last night I jumped ahead on the fast flying geese. I'd never made them this way before but this is what worked best with my one-way background print. I found a mistake in the cutting of the star points. They should be 2-3/8" instead of 2-7/8" (the finished height of 1-1/2" plus 7/8"). I wanted to make mine slightly oversized so it took several tries to get the measurements I needed. And I had to search online for the cutting formula since most of my books are packed away. I will wait until classtime to share them.

Annis - Love your design! The colors are wonderful. Can't wait to see it finished!

Nancy

Great interpretation of the original sampler, Annis, and unique fabrics!

Looks great Annis. Can't wait to see it for real.

Yes it makes a wonderful block with that change, hope it's ok if I have a go at that as well. The quilt is going to be great

Thank you all for your nice comments

Welcome to the Forum Laura and thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.

Annis, love the layout and fabrics in your quilt. Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers . I also like the secondary design you achieved by changing one fabric color in the QST (Yankee Puzzle) block. Hope you don't mind me using your idea.

Limbania, your quilt is going to look great with those Halloween fabrics.

Laura, thanks for the inspiration. I now have another quilt in progress to add to all of the rest of them. I will try and finish this one though since it will be a great fall quilt.

This is my EQ drawing. The fabric colors aren't perfect but they're close enough. It took me awhile to get the sunflower fabric so the design would be large enough in the blocks. I took the fabrics from a photo instead of scanning them into the computer. I'm going to be fussy cutting all of the sunflowers so probably should cut the border first.

Laura - Thanks for being so helpful! I'm sure we'll be taking you up on it. And thank you for putting together this classroom and sampler. It's very nice of you to share your time and talents with us!

Thanks for stopping by. I didn't occur to me to put any questions in the comment section. Good to have you here. We have been having great fun with your class.

Don't listen to Wendy Laura, she's 'out with the chickens'.

are you sure? Do you realise what rebels they all are

If you tell them to do it one way they'll find another

Welcome to the crazy thread, nice to see you one here. We will come and ask you questions

Hello Everyone!
I'm sorry to have been so out of touch. I just found out about this forum and after dealing with a glitch, am finally able to join you. I am excited to see that so many of you are participating in this new class.

If you have any questions, please submit your question as a comment in the specific Lesson in the Classroom itself. I will check in to the Classroom regularly and answer asap. Please feel free to let me know how I can assist you. I am here and happy to help.

Happy Quilting.

Welcome aboard, Laura! Glad you were able to get back into your account and join the lively discussion. This thread has taken on a life of its own and, as you probably can tell, we are all enjoying your class, some are taking a different spin on the sampler, others sticking to the classroom instructions and yet others trying different ways of making the same block, then comparing and contrasting methods for personal preference. Some, like me, are asking for a little more help; others are sharing their knowledge and expertise. Look forward to your thoughts and ideas as you read through the thread and hope you enjoy the group as much as we enjoy the camaraderie here.
