1piecemaker - you can jump in. we are sort of each doing this as we have time, and several of us are jumping around, picking blocks based on our skill level. IE - doing the easy ones first!
I haven't been working on mine much for several weeks, but DH and I are making a short trip to visit friends in MO and I'm going to cut the pieces for several blocks to take with. I can't sew while in the car (causes severe motion sickness) but I know we'll have some time in the hotel and I can put that to good use.
We're heading down through MO - with plans to stop at Missouri Star Quilt Company on the way - then heading across to IL to visit friends, then to St. Louis to visit some others, and up through Iowa for a third visit, then back home.
Two are online friends I've not met in person yet, so this is going to be a fun trip.
