    The book is called Little Brown Bird, by Margaret Docherty but as I said before, it's out of print, so can be quite pricey. There is a CD of the same name, that will print the patterns for you, give you a pic of each block and some instructions, but I'm not sure if you get a pic of the whole thing.

    WOW!! I don't think I'd get that done in my lifetime, but would I ever like to try! It's exquisite!

    Yes! There are a few of us hovering on starting. Mostly they are finishing off their Affairs of the Heart. Some have the book now (rather pricey, as it's out of print) and some have the CD

    When were you thinking of starting, because I have just finished quilting the first border of my AOTH, so I am nearing the end of that now, and I have all the fabrics read to go.


    yup I have my book :)

    It is absolutely beautiful but, I do not have the skills to do that kind of quilt. My brain is not that smart :(

    It's beautiiful. Looks like a lots of work. At my pace, I'd had to start it at about age 5 to have time to complete it.

    I have my book, but I need to finish up on two quilts first. My Dear Jane and my AOTH. I am not as far forward as Lacelady, but I have completed the middle and have just 8 more blocks to complete before I can say its finished, but then it needs quilting, soooooo it will be a while before I start LBB, but I m so looking forward to seeing who is going to join you.

    That is beautiful. Like many others have said my skill set is no where near that. I do look forward to seeing yours.
