Pooh! I just lost my post!!!

Meg, you're not alone! I still can't do it either! I have prevailed upon these sweet ladies to post the odd pic for me. THANK YOU, LADIES, YOU ARE THE BEST!! Cindy, Debbie, Connie, Betty - I don't think I've asked Debo yet - but I might!

I intend to learn this over the winter when not working on the house anymore - lots of time before yard work can begin - the frost doesn't leave the ground here before May!

And the throwing of FQs is retorical, though I will not duck should any be thrown! fat eighths and charm squares are welcome too.

No, seriously, ladies, just FQs will do. HA!!!

Wow had not checked this for a few days and have the topic picked up, I think that I would like to do the midget blocks however was wondering how large are the JS blocks? Some of the midget blocks are a little bit difficult at least in the looking at some but that is what makes it a challenge to broaden yourself out side the box, and seeing my name o n the first page is great, I just don't want to start and stop but on the pafe of the migdet blocks one of hte quilters stated that she did like 10 weeks (blocks) and decided to take a break to work on something else so that is always an option, so what will be our next step: Those who are doing the JS and if anyone beside me will be with the midget blocks.

Michelle, hi!! The dear Jane blocks are 4 1/2" finished, the midget blocks from Sentimental Stitches are 4 1/2" finished, and the Sylvia's bridal sampler blocks, which some of the ladies were doing (actually, Debo is still working on them - lovely!!), are 6" finished.

So the JS and SS midgets can be interchanged. No idea yet on number of blocks/week/month or deadlines or what. Deb is doing a wonderful job putting this together, but she would like opinions, right, Deb? I'll do my best to keep up. Still thinking on scrappy or not, but will definitely be doing one fabric for background.

Michelle

The Midget blocks are 4 1/2" finished
and
The Jane Stickle blocks are 4 1/2" finished.

You will need a book or cd for the JS blocks, I have not found any site online for those myslef. Maybe someone has found otherwise?

Michelle,

i have the patterns for the midget blocks, but just realized that something about the printer settings made mine print slightly smaller than 4.5". I need to get that re-set as soon as I figure out how and re-print those blocks. I am so bummed!

Deb, hon, I just rechecked my Dear Jane book and the blocks are 5" UNfinished, and 4 1/2" finished.

One could always check the library/library systems for a copy. Mine that I bought, came with the CD. Maybe on E-Bay?? or Amazon?

Gerda

Yup I just ran got my book and measured LOL
Ok I corrected my error but not before measuring the block.

Thanks Gerda

Wow! Great thank you ladies for all the help, I am getting excited just thinking about this project and hope that I will be able to keep going on thru I know that this SS quilt have 187 or something like that I recall reading that one block a week we would be doing this for like 7 years or so, wow that seems like forever however many of them started last year, anywho am going to get me a background fabric and just go from there. Will keep watching to see what everyone else is doing.

POLL:
