I'm a bit late coming to this party - but did the first 11 this past weekend. I'm doing them all "scrappy," and am working really hard to pull from my scrap box and not from the FQs and larger pieces I have on the shelf above my work area. So far, so good.

Cyndi, welcome! Those blocks look great! I really love the black print in #1 - very dramatic. Now on to check out your others . . . .

Linda 55 I got mine from Connecting Threads when they had a large book sale. I think Amazon also has it at a pretty good price. You'll enjoy reading it and then get hooked on making the blocks like we are LOL!

Hi Everyone, I think I've finally (almost) caught up. Just when I thought I had, I read a posting this evening that said we are on Blocks 17 & 18 this week. By my count I thought we were on 15 & 16 and they'd be due on the 5th. Whatever - I'll get there. Life has been hectic and I've woefully been playing "catch up" from the very beginning of this project. I couldn't rest until I had ALL my fabrics for ALL the blocks chosen, purchased washed and folded (and a good bit of them cut...not as many as I'd like cut but at least a month ahead). Now I just have to figure out what blocks I'm supposed to be working on. I haven't even had ANY time to read anything on the board since maybe August 10th or so. So tonight I hope to post all my blocks that I've done to date (and I guess I should repeat this message with each week's photo?) Hopefully I can stay with the group & ask questions of the group instead of pulling my own hair out. I am paper piecing and so far I've enjoyed this, even the frustrations that I have caused myself. I'm pretty sure I can be counted as a "convert" to paper piecing. Can't wait until I find time to look at everyone's posted blocks. Cathy in Baltimore County MD
