Flummoxed

Oh, Butterfly, I wish I could help with the blocks. But I have no eye for design and would come up with something that looks like caca to you.

On the other hand, I *can* help a little by sending prayers, good thoughts, and maybe some inspiration to you. My wings may not be butterflywings, but they still carry what is needed and give hugs. Hope you and Mr. Joe feel much better soon!

oh dear, {{{{{{{{Ms B}}}}}}}} those Poiple LCs are sure giving you some grief, argh. i'm hopeless without seeing them or a pix of them to suggest a good layout with what you got. i wonder is it possible to do an offset design. i've see one that was like rounds but they started slightly off centre in the upper left or right quadrant. oh goodness this is really hard to describe. i'm on my last legs re leaving this arvo and i'm not packed, not had breakfast, not showered yet. and back has been hurting for two days now...not a good sign for a good trip. oh well, no choice i am booked, i gotta just go and do it. with few plans once i get there i might end up returning to nz early too. just arrive at SFO and say put me on the next open seat, then wait, lol. i've slept in worse places thats for sure, lol. :)) i cant recall where you mom is located but i do hope shes in good hands. ya gotta have someone nearby when one goes into the convalescent homes to keep on eye on things. i do hope shes on the mend real soon and back home asap. sure would be nice to find a house and get settled in before xmas too. fingers crossed you do find one in time. cant be fun living out of boxes for much longer. big big HUGZ, jeanne

Hadn't thought about starting in one corner.I'll have a go at that:)

Mom will be by one Bro and 2 Siss and a LOT of my dad's bro/sis where she is going (around Detroit). Probably have a lot more company there that Up North.

Thanks Butterfly

Howdy!

Hugs to all of you,

Ragmop/Sandy

Haven't heard the term caca since we left Canada a few years back with a newborn. Thank you for the wings...mine just aren't strong enuf alone right now. Butterfly

Glad your Mom is by family! As for your poiple quilt, maybe you should put it in a paper bag so it can"t peek at you, do something different, and come back to it in a few days when you brain has had a rest. Works for me. And thanks for the reminder that I have to get my butt in gear on my christmas gifts !!! Darlene in Pa

Just got to this one and as of time of writing it is now only 91 days to Xmas - and I just finished my first stitchy gift.

Time was when I would be finished them all by early September, and that was when I worked 70hours a week!! ((sigh))

Told you I was flummoxed:( Now I even lost 9 shopping days....... At least I am NOT making anything for Christmas this year. WHEW! No deadlines there to worry on.

Taking Darlene's advice and just gonna let that hang around until tomorrow.

Where near Detroit? I'm heading up that way. Gen

Gosh, Butterfly, I'm not at all sure I understand what you're explaining

-- blame it on lingering jet lag. But I hope your mom is doing well and that Joe and you are feeling better soon.

The first 11 go to the right...the rest go to the left. I have nzl*'s suggestion up right now (off center).........next I'll try Ragmop's one with the maze (thanks Ragmop, for that site--I couldn't find it the other night--thus the yell for help) I also went to Webshots and typed in Log Cabin pattern--no help there that would work for me.

Butterfly (sure got a lot of 'for sales' when I goggled Log Cabin Pattern and LC Design)

Can you lay hands on a copy of that classic by Bonnie Leman and Judy Martin, "Log Cabin Quilts"? It includes a couple pages of different sets of the same

Used the site that Ragmop suggested and am using the Maze Design. Doesn't show where I 'transposed' the blocks :). Have all the light lines sewn and now I'll change threads and do the dark ones. Thanks again, all of you, for the suggestions.
