Girlfriends...the tool for getting your points to match!!

I can't get my points to match.

And since next month - July - is my month
I thought you could help?

(sorry folks, this post is all about me)

I would never ever in a million years make these blocks for myself.
But I fell in love with Julie's new spider-whatcha-call-it quilt.
And being a part of a bee means that one month a year, you get someone
to sew with on the project of your choice.

Actually 11 other someones.

I love Denyse Schmidt fabrics.
And thanks to Audrie I have a collection of the new Denyse Schmidt fabrics
Grey is my new black.
Grey/aqua/teal/acidgreen is my favorite.

I'd love to have 12-1/2" blocks, but I think I would like to have you practice
my sharp piecing
on some specialty product I am developing.
(shhh, it's a secret...)
Which means 7-1/2" blocks for now.

Now, all I have to do is decide between teal, grey, green
and
Denyse Schmidt

Whaddya say?  Please weigh in...the fabric'll be sitting in your in box, so I figure you should have a say.

Truly, the key to sharp piecing and getting your points to match?

  1. oooh,sounds fun! I say go for the all! While I was in Hawaii I noticed lots of teal and chartreuse together and I loved it. A little grey is great for anything. Can't wait to work on sharp points with everybody.
