Ladydukes, thanks for posting this site. I signed up today, so I'm already a little behind...but I do plan on doing it. I think this will be a great use of my stash and will be fun for me. I saw block 5 "Simple Simon" and that technique was one I had written down, but didn't get it to make sense....now I have the pattern!

Thanks again for posting this and........if anyone has already done some of the blocks....can you post them here? I know its on facebook, but I am not on facebook........someone else also posted it might keep us all motivated!

Thanks! Let's get this one started and continue!

Number 4 block so far is the toughest, such tiny circles and I don't applique well, but I will continue as I learn things, different ways of doing stuff too. Hopefully will finish up 4 tonight and then get 5 done.

4 was also my toughest one for the same reasons, and it sure it isn't straight! LOL

Well guess what, I am still stuggling with 4. Maybe tonight will be the magic. I keep trying to do them the way the pattern goes, but I may just end up giving up on this one and putting buttons for the smaller circles. But I will get it done, I will.

I'm doing this and the stained glass one with all my super scrappy dregs. I'm going to do the Rosmaling in Baltimore too just haven't started yet.

I have trouble with small blocks. Some of these are kind of hard. Anyway, here are mine so far:

If the sizes are a bit off I'll just throw borders or sashing on.

I am surprised with all you are doing you are not on Judy's mystery train. She is doing a table runner this time around. Just started, first week, material requirements. That is always a fun one to be on or at least follow and her patterns are wonderful fun, so far. These look good. Will post my three finished ones tonight.
