Dear Jane Stickle 2d Cyber Block Party - January 2012
#671
I bought a white on just barely off white for my sashing. I am using civil war reproductions that I got from an exchange on here. I think I have about 70 different fabrics. Will buy more as needed. I plan on trying to do the around the world setting. I am waiting on my software. I am planning on enlarging it to make it queen sized so I can use it on my bed.

I am doing a trip around the world with 1930s style fabrics. I have pink, pink & lavender, light green, dark green, brown, light blue, dark blue, lavender, red, orange, maroon, purple, aqua, & turquoise. The pastels will be the dominate colors with the darker colors for contrast. It looks pretty on my Dear Jane software; I just hope it works on the real thing.

I'm using pastels, too, and having a harder time finding them than I thought I would. I've got loads of pink, blue, and green, but soft purples and yellows seem to be scarce. The key word is "soft" -- there are lots of bright purples, but I'm trying to keep it kind of shabby chic.
Try shopping Shabbyfabrics.com. This is thier niche and they have a search by color feature. Never purchased, just admired.

That's a great site - thank you. Kind of expensive for me, but I'd love to know if others have ordered from them. The service may be worth the extra $$$.

Jacquie your blocks are beautiful. I love the colors. These blocks are addicting. But I have a feeling that as time marches on, that my interest will wan and I won't be doing as many. I have all of row A done and all of the blocks done for this group up to the first break and then 1/2 of B done. I am not a real overachiever because I know that other things will pop up and I will get side tracked and then I will be right where I should be......behind. lol. I have decided to QAYG so now I have to go back and do that. But to decide how to quilt each block. Wow that is going to be a little interesting. I love all the sites people have posted here. I am so glad that I found this place.

OH I do have a question. I forgot. When you QAYG how big do you cut the batting. I am making the 4 1/2 squares. Do I make a 5", 5 1/2" or 6" square batting???????
