I've been feeling really overwhelmed at the idea of doing these and wondering why on earth I signed up for a swap when at that time I had never done a single applique. I've done a little since then, and this weekend I AM (repeat, AM) going to start on this project. I'm kind of excited ... it feels like when I used to make outfits for my paper dolls when I was a kid. I just hope my ideas translate to blocks other people like, since they'll be going to other people. They won't be as fancy as some of the ones I've already seen pics of on here, but I think they'll be ok :-)
