I just cut a whirlygiggle quilt out of Nicey Jane and am pairing it with a white bamboo/cotton solid. My JoAnn's doesn't carry Kona Snow like I read all quilters use. I haven't started sewing the pieces together yet, but I'm not sure how to proceed.Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075389034179626691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66833819337170538.post-54884940399721372272010-04-09T12:46:19.573-07:002010-04-09T12:46:19.573-07:00Gorgeous, all of them! and you sound like a happy ...Gorgeous, all of them! and you sound like a happy happy girl! :)<br />xox<br />ValentinaValentinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212523427936081626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66833819337170538.post-73497020226243054462010-04-06T15:46:37.516-07:002010-04-06T15:46:37.516-07:00I am loving the cross blocks.

I want to get my little folks quilt done first though. I am intrigued with the idea of quilting while you go though!! <br /><br />That is cute that you and heather are making a quilt together!! I like both of the fabrics u chose, so I don't blame you for making two in order to have both. We sewers just can't help ourselves. I think that it's a pre-requset for becoming a quilter....a serious lack of control (when it comes t giving in to our creativity).chris bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04206442867296197527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66833819337170538.post-14663241667270072462010-04-03T09:41:36.948-07:002010-04-03T09:41:36.948-07:00You are as bad as me.

So, the cross blocks are wonky, I take it? Here's a dumb question, do you use the part you cut from one square to make the cross for another?
