In the meantime, here is a picture of "G-7, Indianapolis", a block that I first blogged about here back in the summer of 2008. Click on the link if you want to read the story of how I made it.
Although I have a number of blocks (well, a good number) that are not perfect, when I was finished with them I decided that only this one needed a "do-over". Well, sort of. I actually decided not to re-do it, but to "fix" it. That is, I took it apart a bit and used the raw-edge machine buttonhole-stitch applique method using monofilament thread instead of being embarrassed by my pitiful hand applique skills. Especially since this block is smack-dab in the middle of the quilt, probably at everyone's eye level when hung on the wall. Now I think I have a quilt (well, at least a center) that I will not be ashamed to show off, even with its flaws.
Stay tuned tomorrow....

How exciting is that? You will soon have a quilt to hang on the wall. One that you have put your heart and soul into! I am anxious to see it!! But I understand that your group really should see it first.
I hope you are enjoying your "support group" meeting. Should be a lot of fun revealing the quilt center. Can't wait for you to post a picture for the rest of us!
