I have been tempted to make a variety quilt like Dear Jane, however in researching it, I don't think I'd like to make it. I am a machine piecer, I like geometrics shapes to patterns. I like easy piecing, like in Rhonda's wonderful tutorials. She comes up with some many easy ways to do something which seems difficult.

I think we need a Dear Rhonda quilt pattern. A quilt made up of a large numbr of patterns (like dear jane) but only with easy to machine piece patterns.

Just an idea.... Hopefully to get Rhonda thinking about????? hint, hint.

I think it would be fun to do one with all the blocks made on the same "grid"

I'm thinking one made up with grids that are multiples of 3 would be kind of fun.

3x3, 6x6, and 9x9.

This sounds like fun to me.

That would be a fun thing to do. Count me in.

I could do that. I will watch for information if this idea takes-off.
Quilter68 that is now 69!

Well if you like I can pass on some of my favorites. Would you want it to be all one type of block or several diferant quilt blocks each using a differant one of my Blocks?

I have Boston Block /Star Point Block /Wings Block/ Kansas Dugout Block /Drunkard's Path/ 4 patch blocks/ Or combinations of the above blocks, I have scads of quilt blocks already designed so no problem.

O ya this would definitely be a keeper quilt.
Count me in too.

Happy Birthday !!!!

I'm thinking!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

That would be a great idea.

i think this would be fun - I know I was overwhelmed at the Dear Jane one.

How many blocks should I present? I already have them I just need to know how many to post. I don't make big quilts but I love to design so give me some idea of what is needed.
I design in six x six(my #six is stuck!)and 4 x 4 with some 3 x 3s.

I would like maybe 1 every week - but see what everyone else thinks.

Thanks,

I'd like to do this - but since I work full time and am preparing for the arrival of a new granddaughter (quilt, diaper bag, burp pads, bibs, etc.) I could only probably commit to one block a week.

I agree - Dear Jane is beautiful but overwhelming to me as well.

I'm in!

I would like to join you all too. Sounds like fun and it's true, Rhonda your blocks are awesome easy which I love.

I posted a thread for it. Patrice moved it from tutorials to BOM section and Admin created a virtual section for it. So go down to virtual in the list at the bottom of the page and find the section.

The name of the thread is Patrice's doing not mine!! LOL LOL
