I want row I- block 2. I know, I did the same thing and had to figure it out that it said I- not 1! :)

Thanks for posting the rimfire site! I am looking and thinking. If I'd get off here and sew, I might just have time to do these...I really want to Klue...its just a time issue for me!

she also redrafted some because she didn't like the way the book drafted some of them.

i think its quite common that some blocks get redrafted by most people who do a jane.

i'm sure jane stickle made some design decisions based on what she had on hand and if she had access to everything that we do today this quilt would have been done differently.

i understand there's no real rush to decide since the delivery date is the end of october. the only downside to waiting to long to enter the swap is the easier blocks will be taken.

i think you'll find that the easy blocks go together very quickly. you'd be able to finish all 18 blocks in a few hours.

here's the list so far....



Colletta = A6
Norbanaquilts = H13 and K12
MNQuilter = I2
Star = D6
JoanneS = D13
Sharon B = M10
Rhonda = H6 and K3
Esqmommy = B3

I haven't ever done a swap before so this is a first for me! I have watched some of the other swaps so decided it looked like fun and this is one that is right up my alley. I know I can do this one easily.
Someone asked me awhile back if I had ever done one of these and I hadn't even seen one before.

This sounds like way to much fun! I've been dying to dive into a dear Jane project and can't wait. I'll send a pm when I pick out my block.

ok, if you need templates let me know

i'm shocked you didn't know about jane she's right up your alley.

I'll take M12 to start with :) if it's not taken

its yours

Okay, it's me again. I will be doing block B-1. Love doing hand work and I can work on this on the go.

i rec'd the PM.

B1 is now taken, thank you.

this is the list - i changed it to read by block (i think its easier that way)


A6 = Colletta
B1 = mamaskeeto
B3 = Esqmommy
D6 = Star
D13 = JoanneS
H6 = Rhonda
H13 = Norbanaquilts
I2 = MNquilter
K3 = Rhonda
K12 = Norbanaquilts
M10 = sharonb
M12 = crkathleen

I feel so giddy do this swap! :lol:
Klue, I'll take any direction you can give me for the M-12 block i'm doing. My local libraries don't carry the book.
Thanks

So are you doing any Klue or are you just heading up the swap?

I'll betchya KLue is just being thoughtful to see what's left. She can probably whip out any of the blocks in her sleep!!! :) :)

I gotta admit some of those blocks are too complicated for me!! I might figure out a way to do them that I can manage if I took some time to study them. I did pick two that I do all the time anyway. That way I know I can handle them! I do alot of the Drunkard's Path and the other one is the same construction as the center of a trip around the world so I am in my comfort zone!! I know I know I should try something out of my comfort zone but maybe next time I will have more time to think about it!

Ok - I'm in! I'll let you know which block by the end of the day!

I figured for this, I want to be IN my comfort zone, as I'll be out of it so much come January 2010 by recreating each and every one of these blocks for my lifetime achievement quilt, aka my Baby Jane.

i made a list of 30 blocks i'm willing to do and as people are joining i'm taking them off my list.

i'll pick my blocks when everyone has what they'd like.

i'm toying between doing 2 or 3 sets.

send me a PM with your email address and let me know if you prefer templates, paper piece pattern, cutting directions, or all of the above.

i don't mind giving you all, so don't be shy to ask for it.

if you need some help let me know and i can send you templates etc.

ok, if i can help in any way let me know

Klue,
I will take K 2. I haven't worked with anything so small before. I this goes well, I might try something out of my comfort zone.
Sounds like a lot of fun.

Bettia

if any one needs patterns for their block please let me know and i'll email them to you.

i've emailed the patterns to people who've requested (D6, D13, M12) - please let me know if you did not receive them.

Cheers Klue,
I would luv to do because of the colors.
Have a small amount of time, sew count me in,
I do not have this book...sew should i just pick one of the blocks???
No problem going applique and I am hand piecer.

how would you feel about E1 its 4 pieces appliqued to a square or E10 which is 2 appliques to a 4 patch.

if you're really talented there's a way to make E1 the way you would make a cathedral window block (i've never done it i've only seen directions).

here's a pic of each block, let me know if you like any of them. if not i can show you some more options.

also send me a PM with your email address and i'll send you the templates.

i've been playing around and this is a mock tablerunner using the blocks chosen.

i left 2 empty slots at the top left for my blocks and as other people join i'll just fill in the cream squares with blocks.

Cheers,
I like the E1 and have some interesting fabric to use.
I will do 18 of them if you send me the pattern.
My email is [email protected]
can't wait to stitch up some fun, every other weekend we go 250 mile sone way and the sittched is a good distraction from DH driving.
hugs

I second that!!! :thumbup:

:oops:

you guys are too nice.

ok time to drool over fabric.

this is a Moda line called Christmas Presence by April Cornell

Okay I am drooling all over the fabric.


I am thinking about joining but will have to wait and see if my schedule can hold something else.

I third it.
What a task it must be to head off, track and complete a swap.

WOW!~!

I'm afraid to pull my Christmas fabric out. I won't finish the quilt i'm working on. :lol:

Beautiful fab Klue!
