The WINNER is

I used an online random number generator (how nerdy is that) and it is:

Oh and don't mention the ones in the closet!!!OH NO! Donna”

So Donna your e-mail is on the way. If you don’t get it post a comment and I will try to get to you that way.

It seems that many of us are in the same boat. All I have to say is that finishing quilts is over-rated. Sometimes we just have to wait for the right inspiration. I always tell people I have to live long enough to finish all my projects. At the current rate I think I need to live to be 130, at least. Here is a picture of my UFO’s, the ones I could find that is.

FLICKR Group announcement

I have started a group on flickr for us. I thought this group would be fun for those of us doing Floribunda. I’m calling it Florabuddies. If you don’t know about flickr it is a free photo sharing website. If you want to join here is the link

I have uploaded some pictures of my fabric selection, the center block and block 1. It would be fun to see what other people are doing with it.

Finally, since it is Friday I wanted to leave you with something fun for the weekend. I found this absolutely hysterical blog this morning called Cake Wreaks. Some of the cakes are, shall we say, interesting and some are hilarious.

Happy Weekend

Congrats to Donna. Great UFOs to work on this year.

In your tutorial, I don't think you addressed the following question. When you cut the "shadow" of the flower (the piece above the 1st full flower) do you cut it as big as the first flower, thus laying the flowers (2 layers) and then a 3rd layer which would be the calyx? Or, do you just cut it about a 1/2" longer at the bottom, enough to be covered by the next layer on top? Patti

Good Question. I don't cut it as big as the first flower, just long enough for the scallops of the top flower to cover it. After I glue the top flower on I check and cut away any excess.
I hope that helps
