I'm using some scraps and some yardage because if I used all scraps, the quilt would look like mud. I don't know how other people's scraps look so good together.mangozzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161843244215941676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104148299938856670.post-46851154391876077982017-11-13T12:16:52.142-05:002017-11-13T12:16:52.142-05:00I have some of those blocks you call Jacks and Six...I have some of those blocks you call Jacks and Sixes but scrappier and they are called Tennessee at Quilter's Cache. http://www.quilterscache.com/T/TennesseeBlock.html<br />At one time I was going to make them for RSC project. Thanks for the reminder. I really like that block. <br /><br />I like the checkered version of rails but I had already been working on rails for an RSC project before Bonnie came up with the checkered version so will just stick with my plain old ordinary ones but I do like that checkered version. Good luck with orientation thing. <br /><br />Looking forward to your BS.

I obviously missed a post when Bonnie Hunter came up with another leader/ender, probably just as well as I haven't finished the tumblers she once set for that sew along. However, I love your split rail blocks and maybe could keep them in mind for another day!Mystic Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233427034920359604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104148299938856670.post-58532970116706721392017-11-12T23:23:58.792-05:002017-11-12T23:23:58.792-05:00It's always nice to have things work out in th...It's always nice to have things work out in the ends.Wanderingcatstudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459444703722115118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104148299938856670.post-60962961854576740732017-11-12T19:14:27.885-05:002017-11-12T19:14:27.885-05:00Ha!
