Well, ladies (I don't think we have any gentlemen joining us in this adventure) I got my book in today's mail. Many of the blocks are going to be challenging for me, so I'm glad to have this group for advice and encouragement!
Must say, this is a wonderful book! It's going to be such fun reading the letter for each block and thinking of the writer while putting the block together. I'll spend the next weeks getting my fabrics and piecing papers together. (I think the only way for me to go is paper piecing.)
