Can I still start the AOTH? Back on Jan when it was announced to star on June I bought the book and background fabric. Soon after I started to see blocks and more blocks and I never started thinking we were starting in June. Here I am now, missed already 4 weeks and looking at the pretty blocks you girls are doing. I don't think I will be able to catch up. Is anybody there that just started or will start soon?

Jump on in, Lea - we alredy have you on "the list." It's never too late to start.
Cre8, I think You may be thinking that I am making 2, but I am only making1. I had started out making 7" blocks with machine applique & bobbin work. Didn't realize that I was a border-line perfectionist & didn't like the way the bobbin work was turning out. So I started over. I had finished all 36 blocks, just not the embroidery. I now have 13 of the center unit blocks finished & embroidered - 10", hand appliqued & hand embroidered. I should have just stayed with the 7" & the machine applique, but I really like to make things hard on me!!!
I do remember that someone was going to be making 2 each in a different color scheme. I believe Obsessed (Sara) was going to do 2. She is using a cream background with pinks & purples. Her 1st block is her avatar & it's beautiful!

Jump on in !!!! I did jump the gun, but I've slowed down and haven't touched mine for a few weeks. I tend to get stuck in the thought process of changing the designs of patterns. Then I have to just stop and let it stew for a little bit. I've done that now and just started working on Block #1 last night.
You aren't behind at all really! It ain't no race...LOL!!

Andrea, if you are convinced yet to go ahead and start, here's the coupe de' gras...I started a block, started over...done a block in different colors...and finished the embroidery part last night, and am now taking out part of that embroidery!
Someone said they thought I was a perfectionist, but I've never thought so, simply bc my stuff is surely not perfect!
I think I am just obsessed, compulsive and can't sleep for thinking about how something looks!!!!
oh my...I said obsessed and compulsive almost together! :roll:
I saw my block all night, BUT...by morning knew what I didn't want...lol...now to figure out what I DO want. :)
At least lagging behind, we avoid some of the bumps in the road the others have come across. thank you JTG - ers, we love you for that :thumbup:
Welcome aboard!
btw...lol...curious...how did you get your nick?
