yellow & blue! yellow & blue! (jumping up and down, waving arms wildly)

I'm not much on wild colors or trendy colors or colors of ice cream (I don't like ice cream- that's what chocolate and raspberry and mint and chocolate remind me of).

I don't like hippie style, I'm too young for weird. I don't like fall- it means winter is coming. flowers, how do i say boring? sea- not everyone's cup of tea. christmas- I can do this. dear jane sampler- no way am I that good!

well, I eliminated them and now I'm back to yellow & blue. but, I'm only one vote (and if you know anything about voting, you know that 1 vote counts).

There are a lot of simple blocks involved in Dear Jane as well as the complicated ones, so it would cover all skill levels.

The blocks are small too, so maybe everyone could be assigned two or three blocks to do.

there's a lot to choose from on the Dear Jane and if the turn out is anything like the black and white we should have a real nice assortment of blocks.

To make a Dear Jane one work, I think we would need to be assigned blocks, perhaps, rather than pick our own. So you would indicate your skill level, beginner / intermediate / advanced and be assigned a block accordingly.

Okay as long as things are explained to me so I understand what I am supposed to do - I'm game for this! The Dear Jane quilt in the link is amazing but looks rather difficult! I have been doing this for a couple of years now but ... I may need some help!

i think thats a good idea and we could extend the due date to adjust for the more difficult blocks.

i can do anything except hand needle turned applique.
