I now have five of the first set of blocks together. After the kids are asleep tonight I am going to try to finish more. I can't decide if I should follow Lee's pattern exactly as written or if I should add another row and make the quilt a little bigger. It would take a little longer, but I have the extra fabric and I think it would be more useable for us if it were bigger...I'll have to see how long it takes me to complete the nine blocks first before I decide to go bigger!
I love the red and the gray and red print! I think they are my favorites from the line!
I had such a great time and I would love to sew more right now, but little Graham is waking up from his little cat nap and I know he's going to be hungry!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Yay! It looks awesome! It took me an hour to make each set of 4 units, then another half hour to piece the remainder of the blocks. I couldn't face another 3. But you're right - another row would definitely make it a more "useable" size.
I love it, it looks fantastic! Good for you!! That red print in your last block is one of my all-time AMH favorites. I keep planning to make a bag with it, actually, because I've got a good bit of it in my stash! I totally understand making the Supernova a little bit bigger. Part of me wishes I'd done that, too since I have so much darn leftover fabric, even after getting this pieced back all laid out. I think your Supernova is going to be stunning!!
I love that red block too! You got lots completed.....easier to do when without boys! I have two boys also......maybe 10 years older than yours :-)
Oh, these are gorgeous! Good job getting so much done! Can't wait to see more. : )
beautiful blocks Melanie
I can see why you love them all. . this is awesome.
I've never seen a block like that - they are very cool. Can't wait to see them finished together.
Congratulations on a very successful FNSI!
That's a beautiful pattern.
