Yep, I'm in the same boat, what with wedding quilts and baby quilts and other obligatory quilts due by March. And I'm still waiting for that blasted background fabric. :evil:

I have "sort of" learned to paper piece...you have no idea how relieved I was after finishing my first PP block (the Amma tutorial one. It seemed so awkward and took forever for that first one...so I made the same block twice more. That went alot easier, so I made the third one for good measure. OK...I sort of get it. That was Saturday.

Sunday was not a day of rest. In a fit of anxiety I decide to do Klue's tutorial for strip piecing. Oh, yea. Thanks, Klue. Seriously, it is so helpful to a neophyte like myself. I made two of that block.

Tomorrow...Week 1, here I come. It almost 1AM, but I might post photos tomorrow, so you all can ooooh and ahhhhh. LOL.

YIPPEE!!!!

i'm so happy for you - i remember how happy i was when i finally understood how to paper piece.

Haven't been on board much this weekend. Looks like I missed alot!!

Sorry to hear about your DH Luv, thoughts and well wishes to you both.

I have 3 of the blocks done for week two, just have to start the triangle. The blocks seemed to go together a bit faster this week.

I think I came up with a name for my Jane - since I'm using all Fossil Fern fabrics: "Sewing Jane's Fern Garden". What do you think?
