You know, I think it's absolutely amazing that there are people out there that take the time to write nice things. Like the commenters who congratulated Kathy for winning the recent give-away while leaving a comment for this month's give-away. There's so much yucky in the world that it really brightens my day when I read such nice things :)
Here's what I've gotten done lately. A few more blocks for my son's quilt:
Six for my guild's swap (each month six blocks are due):
This week's assignment for the Irish Chain Twist Quilt-A-Long:
I wanted to show you something that I learned this week. Do you see in the photo below on the left where the 2 blocks are a bit smaller than those black & white ones on the right?
We were told to use a scant 1/4" seam on our guild swap blocks. I was working on those blocks and got used to using the smaller seam measurement and then started working on the black & white hst blocks. I kept using the smaller seam and got bigger blocks! It's something to notice because putting the smaller with the bigger in a quilt would turn out to be a big old pain! I might just re-do those two blocks but
dang I hate re-do's.

If you don't mind, I'm going to close with a prayer for the 21 Christian men who were beheaded by Muslim terrorists this weekend in Libya for no other reason than their religion. I pray for those men, for their families, for the terrorists to seek forgiveness and turn to God and for God to help us all.
Do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. Our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:16-17
