Pulled some more colours today but haven't started sewing. Ideas are forming.  I don't usually make blocks so all this plus the BOMs is new to me.

Hello everyone - sorry for being absent. Not only has work been manic but my MacBook decided to get malware and a very helpful apple technician had to fix it for me!!

Anyway, I am halfway through creating the webpage to display photos of everyone's blocks etc. So if you have done any, please either post a pic on here or e-mail them to me if that is easier (you should have my email address by PM)

I have made one block for @whofilets today - I will post that up on the webpage along with everyone's starting fabrics

@whofilets

I’m not 100% certain this will stay exactly as it is, I think I’ll make the others and perhaps revisit this one. Or maybe not, lol

@RJR_38 glad your computer is back in the land of the living.

So am I fajita!

So here is the VERY basic website to display each persons blocks - everyone is free to look but if you want yours to be a surprise you don't have to look!

I like your block fajita!

That looks great! Another one to add to the website haha.

Here is the first block I have made - the central fabric glows in the dark bit I will leave @whofilets to find out which bits.

Eight blocks made now, but there's one that I'm not happy with so I might remake it.

Wow, you are so speedy Brenda! I love the blocks you have made for me - the bold brightness is exactly how I had imagined it  :loveit:

I will have a go at collating all of these onto the same page later tonight

I love seeing how differently everyone is interpreting the same piece of fabric! I am going to Efemera’s block next but I have such different colours picked out!
