| I looked through the book and made a list of 35 of the easier pieced blocks, I will work on them first. I also picked out 15 applique blocks that looked doable. I also decided that I am not going to print each pattern to make templates. Instead will feel free to interpret the block as I like. Many of these use similar pieces so I have drawn out for a 4-patch, 9-patch, etc.. and can use those to re-size units. |
The first thing I figured out is that I would need a way to keep the blocks in order. I also figured out after making A1 and A2 that I was not going to want to do each in order. SO... I have made 13 baggies numbered 1-thru-13 and AS I make a block A-thru-M, I will add to the bag and mark the letter so I can see progress.

| Yes I am aware that the right white strip has a 'bend' at the top. I don't care and you shouldn't either- lol |
 |
| Even though I say I am thinking of doing needle turn applique, we all know I am going to raw edge it! |

| A funny thing happened on the way to my pineapple....I skipped a row and ended up with a diamond in the center. Instead of starting over, I kept going and will use this as an alternate block. I will re-do this block in the traditional setting, just wanted to show off my lemonade. |
14 Blocks completed so far: A(1,2,3,6,7) B(1,12) C(6,9,11) D(8,13) ,E(1,9), G(3,4) H(13), K(2), M(5,10,12)
I am seeing that I haven't picked anything from F,I or L, I will have to work on those this weekend.
