I need help, I have been reading probably to much and reading to much into it. I read on one of the sites where to print. I want to print the diamond and square, I am using the KonA Modern Fabric. I posted on Flicker already. But I am not sure what size to use. I want to have something read by Nov 30th, so I should start with a table runner. can you reference me to where to print out the whole sheet so I can cut??? thank you
I'd really love to join in, if there's still a space?

Hi, Just wondering, I would love to sew along and join in the linky party at the end.....is it open to all or just the one who has join the bloghop? Another thing is, at the end the linky party is for a finished product/quilt or just a block? quite confused..
Is November 17 available? I'd love to join in! cholmaneee at uia dot net
To enter the contest Do you have to have a finish product or just a finished block??? I have done some great blocks but havent made them into anything..ie like a quilt yet.
I posted on my blog and linked it back to this post and posted on flicker, is that correct?
