I didn't think it was going to happen but somehow the starts were aligned (in more ways than one) and several things came together.  First I tried out my new Curve Ruler from  Sew kind of wonderful . 2nd - Modern BOM 2 block by Alyssa for  Sew Mama Sew My version called "Box Out" And my second version called "In and Out" 3rd - Catching up on some Charity quilts: Craftsy BOM 2012 - 6 more blocks used above 2 preemie flannel backed blankets for Lincoln Quilts for Kids group 2 boy quilts made to go to my guild project Cuddle Quilts  and one to go to Lincoln Quilts for kids.  One I gave to a friend to have her mom try her hand at the binding.
