Do you think I could squeeze them out if I were super careful? Thank you so much for all your hard work by the way! It must be quite an undertaking!!! (Especially with people like me!) If your not sure/too much work to figure it out with any of my questions that's completely fine!!

I'm planning on joining the blocks together so there is no inner boarders if that makes sense? I'm planning on making all the pointy bits sticking out from the corners of each block in the same fabric. So would that mean I need 2 yards of that fabric? And 12 1/2 yards for the rest of the blocks? Sorry to be difficult! My husband is at uni and I'm not really wanting to buy fabric at the moment so I'm trying to use up my stash. Any help would be appreciated:) Jessica Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16855783582762172958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-64766512511022888002016-06-27T07:26:38.249-06:002016-06-27T07:26:38.249-06:00hi propswife, that is absolutely great ;) It woul...hi propswife, that is absolutely great ;) It would looks so fun in a table runner ;)Melissa Corryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466540745755929200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-28767656462267998622016-06-27T01:01:20.346-06:002016-06-27T01:01:20.346-06:00Beautiful pattern!

Are you okay with that?

So for each fabric, in one block it will be the center star, in another block, it will be the surround, and in another block it will be the corner triangles ;) I hope that makes sense and clears it up for you :)Melissa Corryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466540745755929200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-83048334850059559222016-06-22T10:53:57.948-06:002016-06-22T10:53:57.948-06:00I'm buying my fabrics today for the baby size....I'm buying my fabrics today for the baby size.

The kids are getting lots of fun things for summer break, I should get something too, right? Maybe I shouldn't have done that. Maybe I should have stuck to my stash. Maybe I should have just placed a small order of the same colorings and used them for Julie's QAL over at the IT. Bah! Oh well! Too late now! I can't wait to show you my colors!
