Because I started late in the game, I have some serious catching up to do.
I figure I need to get 22 blocks done soon, and then I can relax a little bit.
Here are another 5 blocks:
#92 Streak of Lightning
Lori's first tutorial explained how to graph when the pieces are evenly distributed between the 6-inches.
She sent me a pretty long list of which blocks this technique would work with.
*e-mail me if you would like a copy of that list.
I started with the easy to draft blocks first because they work up fast.
#41 Friendship Star
#4 Basket Weave
#11 Broken Sugar Bowl
#73 Rainbow Flowers
I had a hard time finding 5" X 8" graph paper. (our Office Max no longer carries it)
For those of you using Lori's organizational binder idea, I found these cute 4" X 6" Post it Notes at Target.

They work great too!

Buying 8-1/2 x 11 graph paper pads and taking them to your printer to be turned into 5 x 8-1/2 pads saves the extra trouble trying to find the ones you want. I can usually find a four-pack of the larger ones that are used in higher math classes. The printer can cut and reglue the tablet's sides to whatever orientation you prefer.
I couldn't find the paper at Office max either...love the idea in the comment before mine, though! And the post it pad graph paper looks like another fun idea!
Nedra, I'd love a copy of the list. I haven't started on the FW blocks yet but hope to. I'd love the list for when that happens. I need to go back and read Lori's organizational binder idea because I don't remember it. Your blocks look great and I'm looking forward to seeing your quilt come together.
Oh Nedra...Love your blocks. I would love a list of the drafting easy to do blocks. I need to really learn this technique for other things as well. You are doing a great job!!

Wow Nedra, you will catch up in no time, gorgeous blocks. Have you tried making your own graph paper for free? http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/
Oh Nedra, they are gorgeous. I love the color and fabric you've used on these blocks - Enjoy Nat
I like the 'Streak of Lightning' block. Very fun. Amazing work, you are awesome Nedra.
