Hi Barbara
I have tussled all afternoon and finally figured out the problem. I had reversed all the right papers and the left papers were right side up. I hoped that I would be able to make it work as the two sides look like opposites. No it hasn't worked and i cannot make it line up so i will have to start again. Duh stupid mistake but i have learned to be much more careful.
Hope I can get it done soon. Brenda

So sorry, Brenda--that upside down, reverse mirror image thing gets a lot of us from time to time. Perhaps you have saved someone else from a similar problem. When you are ready to start again, I'm sure this one will go together such more easily.

[Brendaintheboro]

i know it will. Its using the vellum as its nearly transparent. My son will print off the papers for me tomorrow and i will get started . For tonight , I will get on with my knitting. I am knitting another Norwegian cardigan as i have been there while cycling this year and posted the yarn home.

Just another idea about which block to make your OOPS block. I would pick the pink block in row two and put it in the
bottom left corner. I like the spacing of the two pinks opposite corners. Then I would shift some of the other blocks to space and balance orange
blocks and blue feeling blocks. That is what is so fun about playing with layout. So many options.
Your blocks are beautiful. Thank you for all your help on this quilt.

Elegant color choices.

well, I have managed block 7. I had to use a different fabric as I used up all of some on the block I messed up. Still quite pleased with how this has turned out.

I am using Jinny Beyer fabrics and am anticipating a Border Print, but also contemplating a pieced border as well. The fun of both a group project and individualized choice!

Looks great Brendaintheboro! I’m excited to get back behind my sewing machine to get caught up. Moved so haven’t been able to do blocks since May. Need to complete June, July and August now! Have a great weekend! Thank you for sharing.

[bbquiltmaker]

Brenda, yes, this is the right place. You are first, great job.

[Brendaintheboro]

thank you. I too had to catch up as I was away cycle camping my way through the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark up to Norway. didnt cycle the whole way , this time< only 933 miles. I am now buzzing with inspiration

[jostendarp]

Wow! That must have been amazing. I ride locally on weekends.

[Brendaintheboro]
