Today I started on my first paper pieced block! So far, so good. It is the mystery block from the Paper Panache site. I wanted to get practice in case I want to add that to anyones row.

S&S, I forgot to take a pic of your fabric. I even remember standing there looking at it this morning and it never crossed my mind to take a pic of it! I must have been to mezmerized by it to think! Will try to remember tomorrow.

[quote=Short an Sweet]Hi saritabee, I believe I will be getting your row first, can you give me some ideas of what you'd like to see on your rows? lol and if you could post pics of the row you do, that would be awesome, I've already started "window" shopping for fabrics for yours I just wanted your input b4 I purchase.

I was pretty much just leaving mine open to any interpretation on the theme... and it can get pretty broad, I think, depending on how you look at it!
I got distracted with some family stuff and haven't even started my row yet, but I'm pretty sure that I'm going to do wonky-set blocks with silhouettes of well-known landmarks I've been to, incorporating some nice antique-y brown map/journal fabric into the background of the row.
I'm also fairly positive I want sashing between the rows (so they don't all have to be matchy-match; someone else mentioned that and I thought it was a great idea). I'm thinking I might even have everyone leave the rows separate so I can pick a coordinating sashing once they're all done.
I need to check and see whose RR I'm getting first crack at! :)

Let me know what ya'll think

late for the vote, but I agree it's an awesome name. We should make sure it's on all the signature blocks, too! :)

""also we need to know if there is anyone in our group that DOES NOT want to see pictures of their rows? If you want to be totally surprised when your rows come back, let us know here and send a note with your row to not post pics. Happy New Year!! ""

I was just thinking about this the other day; I'd much rather not see any photos of mine until it's all done.
Or people could just post pics with a big spoiler warning, like for book reviews, and I'll avert my eyes. *grin* ...and that way nobody else misses out on any planning time.

Also if someone doesn't want to see their row, we can PM the pictures to the other members of the group?

So be sure to give feedback on the choices, if you hate they're gone lol.

it's neat to see all the interpretations; jump-starts MY brain, too, thinking of what we might receive to work on down the line.
...and Australia has tropics! *grin*

so the intention is to send a big block, which will have room for everyone's info on it, to use as a label on the back, and then also send four "regular" siggies, and each person will keep one?
