you might want to check out kona cotton indigo or navy. you can typically pick it up cheaper out the amounts you're looking at. fabric depot sends out samples. |
Even in the short time I've been working on trying to do some of her blocks, my ideas of what is "right" and/or "do-able" have changed.
It's getting more and more to be "in the manner of Miss Jane" than "an exact duplicate of the Jane A. Stickle quilt" |
i think it would definately be boring for everyone to do the same quilt the exact same way. i love those who let their own creative juices flow

I can't imagine ever buying 25 yards of fabric... it would cost about $650. That's why I'm doing a plain white background, I'll be able to get extra yards as I need them. |
I have EQ so do I realy need the software you are talking about here? Also I do not have the money to go and buy new software. So I also would like to know if I can do this with out the software?

If you can borrow the book, that would help a little.
The book, however, gives NO instructions on how to assemble the blocks. |
Just adding something so I can get the updates.

Hey Klue, am I on your master list?
I received my rulers from the ebay seller you recommended. I did, however, order the book "Civil War Love Letters" which looks to me like an easier version on the Dear Jane idea. The thing is, I want to be a part of a BIG group who is all doing the same thing at the same time! Plus, Marinemom's idea about changing the date triangle to the date of my husband's 2009-2010 deployment is such a good one! If this quilt top takes 18 months to finish, he will return home and it will STILL be a UFO! Crazy. hehehehe |
Oh, please do put his deployment dates on your quilt. :) It boggles my mind too to know that I will still be working on my son's quilt after he returns safely home. Tough as these guys are, I know there is a soft spot deep in their hearts that is touched when someone they love takes the time to honor their commitment and sacrifies.
