Given the amount of purple I used in the blocks, I decided to use this purple batik for the 1″ connecting squares along the edges of the blocks. The intersection where four blocks meet will be composed of 8 of the 1″ squares, or a 1″ x 2″ rectangle, and something 2″ square in the centre of those. At the moment, I’m playing with the idea of a stripe of some sort for that 2″ square. The original Patchwork of the Crosses has some gorgeous fussy cutting done for that 2″ area, which I will do for the large quilt when I make it but for this one I think I want to do something with a stripe. That may change.
I need help! An online friend moved a couple of months ago. Her ISP seems to be rejecting e-mails from my ISP. I’ve tried e-mailing her from my gmail account but those don’t appear to be getting through either. She has been sending e-mails asking if everything is okay as she hasn’t heard from me and even reply e-mails from me don’t appear to get through. Of course, I never dreamt this could happen and don’t have her new address or phone number so am rather at a loss when it comes to a way to contact her. Lesson learned for me — I should not depend on electronic contact only! Any ideas out there?
Lester in his favourite spot — again!
Smudge, sound asleep. It’s one of the few times a photo has been taken of him that he hasn’t been partially watching us photographing him.

This quilt is going to look really great. Can't wait to see it with the setting. If you send me your friend's email address privately, I can send her a message and tell her to look at your blog.

The purple does seem to be a good choice to use for those squares. How many blocks are there for this piece?

I love the purple – yum!Why don't you try having someone else send an e-mail to your friend to explain about you and see if that helps. Would be a different ISP – just a thought!

Looking nice!If you can't use some of these suggestions to get through to your friend electronically, you could try searching online for her new phone #, if you know enough info. Even new phone numbers should be available that way.

Why not set up an email account at Yahoo or GMail and email her from there explaining the problem with ISPs?
