The packets to grab and go sound like a good idea Rachel. There are quite a few that will work well doing them by hand. Even more than just the applique ones.

I wonder if you will all think the same once you have your quilts done and on the bed????? |
I'm not saying yes, and I'm not saying no to another one. I might make one entirely different. I'm not sure I would make ALL the blocks again, but I might use some of the blocks in a very different way. I love some of the blocks. It would be something that I design myself and wouldn't look like the DJ quilt.

My stash and my "wish list" is pure insanity! I need another life time to finish all of it! Yes, it does change from time to time too! When I retire in a few years...I will have more time to play. :D
I wanted to make two Jane's in the beginning, before I realized how time consuming this quilt is! I like to think I will make another later, but I too will never make some of these blocks again! Realistically, I may make smaller projects with my favorite blocks. Question to the group? So, are we, as a group, going to start another project together, maybe Sylvia's Bridal Sampler???? With 6" finished blocks, 14 rows with 10 blocks we could start at the top and make one row per month. Maybe start next June 1... |
Meredith I like the idea but only if I have finished Jane completely and its all quilted and together. I would consider it though.

Would be fun and would give us a reason to stay together as a group - huh? |

Lesley, I looked up the Little Brown Bird pattern. It looks lovely and so very different fron Dear Jane. Might consider doin ghtat one, especially if you are going to be relocating in the near future. Nothing is definite, but we'll know something on Monday. I think I could enjoy a small-ish city in Texas!

Lesley, When you were adding the borders to your quilt center, did you find that they fit nicely, or did that extra 1/4" sashing on the outer edges cause the matching triangle to be too small? If I match the corresponding breaks between the blocks with the pieced triangles, the outer tris are too small. Very Furstrated right now.
