Oh thank you so much for offering! I am going to do 10" blocks. I don't know the exact measurements but I am guessing that should fit our queen size bed. DH will love it!

I am undecided whether to make my blocks the original size or larger. How do we enlarge the blocks? I am going to make mine using batiks with a black background. I have never used black as a background, should be interesting! Phyllis |
Lesley, your idea sounds terrify ! I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my book.
Ok, I actually have to google couching as I don't even know what that is. :oops: you all can have a chuckle... |
Ok I am in, we started this as a BOM at a LQS and the shop closed so mine never got finished just tucked away. I know I won't complete a block a week but will try to keep up. My goal is to complete it by the end of the year. So far I think I have 10 blocks done. I am doing mine in 2 color ways 1 on black background and the other a light grey with only batiks.

I'm in, and so glad I found this quilt-a-long. This will be just the thing for me. I have wanted to make a special quilt for a long time and with all the encouragement from all of you wonderful people it will be so much fun. I ordered my book today. I think I will use black w/ batik all from my accumulated fabrics. I also think I will enlarge the block size to 10". The embroidery really does enhance the whole block. Trish

Good for you - it will be an ideal time to get going again and finish change your UFO into a WIP! What's more, you will have a 10 week head start! (or is it a five week head start because you started two?)[/quote]
I will have to dig it out and see what blocks I have done and compare your order to what I was following! |

Sew Extreme try Equilter.com for Kona fabrics, they have a great range at 4.95$. Living in Spain I get nearly all my fabrics from them they have a really good service and good quality fabric. Check them out.
I am waiting on some Lemon background fabric from them. I also have some lovely batiks so may use them still dithering my do an all different blues on the lemon that could work too. I tried to get the gold cording for the embroidery area but they were sold out. Its very fine and I will couch it when I get my hands on it. Elle |
