So far we have 10 people signed up and, assuming that the TBD people make at least one set, we have a minimum of 20 sets coming my way. Hopefully we can get more people signed up though, still a bit till sign-ups close. Be sure to post pics as you are sewing to entice others to join us!!

If you want to keep track of sign-ups, you can take a peek here whenever you want:

Be creative!! Paper piecing isn't the only option by any means!!

let me see if I understand this. I can use transportation material such as john deere tractors and just make a regular type quilt square.

Yes that would work too!! It's good to have a variety of blocks in the quits as you don't want them to be too busy!! My rule of thumb is I will only make blocks I would be happy to see coming back to me. If you love it, so will we!!
