I also would like to add these points:
This is a 12 month project where everyone starts with the same free pattern each month and is free to make it anyway he or she wants to and the size of the pattern is to be 12 1/2" x 12 1/2". However, you can resize if you so choose.
You keep all your own blocks.
Once all 12 blocks are posted - last one will be on Dec. 1, 2011 - you put your quilt together anyway you want to. You can add anything you want to to your quilt, or use any embellishments, laces, threads, etc. that you choose.
In other words.....we are all making the same quilt with our own twists!!!
Can't wait to get started on what is decided....
Happy Thanksgiving to all in the USA.
