now i would like to put pics of 2 finished blocks and camera is giving me the    -- its sorry about  also tha actual pic of the quilt is not the finished article as i seem to have lost that one into cyberspace  it will give you a good idea of how to put blocks together i only put a binding i didnt think it needed borders
  
   back to  next stage of this quilt   what i did was to cut each block on the diagonal then use one of each of blocks 1 and 2 and sewed one of each together matching all joins    i did try to do them as hst with no sucess just  too many joins

 this is a trial run as a first time blogger  so please be patient with me if u need any questions  answered regarding this  please feel free to ask me on the qcQCA f/b page CHEERS TO  ALL WHO MAY SEE THIS
