I'm probably going to join in on this! Since March I've gotten rid of 34 pounds.. and I've probably got another 70 to go.. so that's a ton of blocks.
I think I'm just going to make a scrappy quilt in whatever block I feel like at the time. I love sampler quilts.

Wow, I'm impressed by the response! lol
I love samplers so that's what I'm going to be making. Whatever I go through or think about or experience while losing the weight, I'll find a block with a name that fits.
You know, I was thinking that someone who is losing weight for their wedding might consider making a double wedding ring quilt. Someone who is trying to lose weight after having a baby might want to make a crib quilt. The possibilities are endless! :D
Oh, and I've got over 100 lbs to lose so that's why I'm making 6" blocks. lol

Wow, what a great idea. Count me in - I've got over 100 pounds to get this change of life accomplished. Sounds like disappearing 9 patch is a great idea but I may do a game board quilt. The idea of a quilt reminds me of the "Game of Life" that I used to play as a child (not "Candyland"!!). There is probably some kind of game board type of quilt out there that I could work my way through with sufficient pieces (otherwise I'll be doing a 2" square to keep the size down!).

I am in on this one. I have lost 12 lbs and would like to lose another 20 lbs. buts needs to lose 40lbs. Maybe I should make 10 in blocks and go for a double quilt. I can always had on and go for a King size. What do you guys think?

Awesome idea. I'm in. Love the idea of a yo-yo quilt, maybe I'll make one block each month, and sew on however many yo-yo's I need, one per pound. Or I could do that with another kind of applique thing on it. Hmmmmm... choices, choices.
