Well already this is turning into a buying spree... couldn't pass up the Farmer's Wife' quilt book you mentioned and of course that lead to more surfing and I ordered Schnibbles Times Two: Quilts from 5" or 10" scraps. Thanks for the ideas, can't wait till they get here and I can get started on my quilts. Doncha love online shopping? 8-)[/quote]
I don't know if you're aware, but there is a group of us online doing the Farmer's Wife quilt "together." We're doing two blocks a week, some are ahead, some behind, others almost finished and people who are just starting. Here's the link to explain what's going on:

These quilts should be personal and should reflect your weight loss journey.
