My Rosie came yesterday in the mail. I am thinking of tackling the 4" PP blocks, but am leaving my options open in case I get stuck in the weeds. :) I've also signed up for the Civil War swap and think I'll make these blocks in those prints as well so I can mix and match blocks perhaps, although making 4" blocks would require they be cornerstones perhaps amongst the larger blocks...whereas I can just add simple borders to 10" blocks...hmmm...well, at least I've ordered my fabrics! Got that part decided anyhoo...:)

Ronda, Civil war will look really good with these patterns and using 4" for corner stones would really enhance the bigger blocks. Have fun!

Hi I wrote before about how much material I need for this project,, I have order my book but unfortuntely it wont be here in Australia till the end of August and I need to order my material before that. So if anyone can help and let me know how much I need for the 10" blocks it would help a lot.

I am watching this one. Going to look for the book at LQS's this weekend before I commit and order it online. It just might be the kick in the pants I need to get my sewing back in operation.

Yippee my book arrived today. I'm away for a week's holidays and there is a quilt shop in one of the places we're going to so I might just manage to buy some new fabric for this.

I thought I might do both the large & small blocks, but realized I have too many other things going on, so I'm doing the large blocks in red, white, blue fabrics. I bought the fabric the other day and really like it. Will also use some of the fabrics from my stash too. I can hardly wait to get started...

PS Where in TX is Lakehills? Nowhere near Midland, I know 'cause Midland isn't close ta anywhere else. :) Except Odessa, our sister city.

I just ordered the book. I think this will be more fun than a swap. If I don't like the block I have no one to blame but myself. This is more in my line. Thanks for starting this.
