Ladydukes, thanks for posting this site. I signed up today, so I'm already a little behind...but I do plan on doing it. I think this will be a great use of my stash and will be fun for me. I saw block 5 "Simple Simon" and that technique was one I had written down, but didn't get it to make sense....now I have the pattern!

Thanks again for posting this and........if anyone has already done some of the blocks....can you post them here? I know its on facebook, but I am not on facebook........someone else also posted it might keep us all motivated!

Thanks! Let's get this one started and continue!

Number 4 block so far is the toughest, such tiny circles and I don't applique well, but I will continue as I learn things, different ways of doing stuff too. Hopefully will finish up 4 tonight and then get 5 done.

4 was also my toughest one for the same reasons, and it sure it isn't straight! LOL

Well guess what, I am still stuggling with 4. Maybe tonight will be the magic. I keep trying to do them the way the pattern goes, but I may just end up giving up on this one and putting buttons for the smaller circles. But I will get it done, I will.

I don't care for hearts, but this is really pretty. I like the idea of posting here, have to get mine together and share.

I'm doing this and the stained glass one with all my super scrappy dregs. I'm going to do the Rosmaling in Baltimore too just haven't started yet.

I have trouble with small blocks. Some of these are kind of hard. Anyway, here are mine so far:

If the sizes are a bit off I'll just throw borders or sashing on.

Oh Dresi, I am impressed, nice work, and you are keeping up too. You are into several which is fun to do, in my book anyway, can't get bored that way. I am surprised with all you are doing you are not on Judy's mystery train. She is doing a table runner this time around. Just started, first week, material requirements. That is always a fun one to be on or at least follow and her patterns are wonderful fun, so far. These look good. Will post my three finished ones tonight.
