Hey Klue, am I on your master list?
I received my rulers from the ebay seller you recommended.
I did, however, order the book "Civil War Love Letters" which looks to me like an easier version on the Dear Jane idea.
The thing is, I want to be a part of a BIG group who is all doing the same thing at the same time! Plus, Marinemom's idea about changing the date triangle to the date of my husband's 2009-2010 deployment is such a good one! If this quilt top takes 18 months to finish, he will return home and it will STILL be a UFO! Crazy. hehehehe
