I got my AOTH book yesterday and started looking last night. The pieces don't look all that hard to me, but after saying that.....I think I will try to scan some of the pics and put it in EQ7. I've never tried to do that before, but I'd like to play with it some...I'd like to enlarge the blocks..add maybe some different type of sashing...I don't know..something to make it end up larger. I'm with you Lesley..I think it is a fabulous size for display, but I have nowhere to hang something like that, so I'd like for mine to fit on a bed.
I can't do any of that until I get my lappy repaired as my scanner won't hook up to my old computer..but hopefully I can play with it in the next week or 2.
Wil...I know what you mean....do you have a pieced quilt in mind to consider?? And congrats on laying all that out! I did nothing last night...maybe I'll tackle something today.
Enlarging the blocks on AOTH is a good option. I am also considering a yarn couching technique for the swirls and curls... :D There is time to work out the details...
I have the book and software for Farmers Wife, I was interested at their start, but I didn't have the time to commit to that project. It seems to be with templates and all rotary cut piecing but Pookie mentioned paper piecing... They will be about half finished when I am ready to start another project.
I have the book for Sylvia's Bridal too, I plan to make that one, next year! :lol: :lol:
There are several that will still be working on Baby Jane's, so I am hoping there will be another group start up in the Spring or Summer. Personally, I would have preferred a more orderly schedule. I might consider another (modified) Baby Jane later...I know that is insanity!!!
