    I also have a lot to lose, so I am definitely in as well. I think it will be fun. About to start my diet in a couple of days.

    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:

    I think I will make a center block with yo-yo's in a vase to repersent my pounds and smaller blocks for the borders of the quilt. That way I will have flowers for me and a new quilt just for me.

If you have only a few pounds to lose then maybe you should make 12" blocks. It's completely up to you. No fabric requirements and no minimum quilt size. These quilts should be personal and should reflect your weight loss journey.

    Cheers,

    What an excellent idea and motivator to loose weight and get healthier! Good luck!
