I heard from LJDugas that she is already finished with the one she's making for me and is ready to mail. And here I am just getting started. I've finally decided on a pattern and fabrics and have cut out about half of it. Hopefully I can be finished and ready to mail by the end of the first week in April. I'm making this on my new Janome 8900 so I'm using this project to learn the machine. It is a lovely machine but is still very daunting to learn.

Here's a taste of the fabrics I've chosen. She's partial to purples and yellow.

BelFry!
You are right about the size. I made the center Dresden 19 1/2 inches in diameter! That is driving the finished size? A reminder to have a plan befoRe making the first cut. The finished mat will be 24"x54" with binder. Checked with Ann...perfect fit! Thank goodness Swoooosshhh! Lesson learned!

I love your fabric choices! Can't wait to see what everyone is doing!

Sewing tomorrow!
