Looking at the centre blocks so far, I've started to panic myself which has resulted in my thinking it might not be such a good idea for me to continue looking at pictures :lol:

I either piece blocks, or find the 'right' fabric(s) to use for border strips, and noone has complained yet!

WOW Terri, you have loads of people to organize. Can I be of any help to you, I am here if you need me. Also if someone does drop out you can let me know.
I am loving everysingle one of the blocks so innovitive. I particularly love the Asian fabric one, but I am a sucker of Asians as Terri know so well.
From experience I can tell you that when you receive your block to work on hang it where you can see it and it will talk to you if you havenīt at first got any idea what to do.
Remember if its appliqued YOU donīt have to do applique thats the fun part about this you can paperpiece, machine or hand embroider, I even did some ribbon embroidery on a couple I had, so the sky is the limit.
Looking forward to seeing more.

Ladies, ladies, ladies!!! DO NOT DO ANYTHING you are not comfortable with. Applique IS NOT a requirement. If you cannot applique or embroider, DO NOT DO IT!! No where in the rules does it state you HAVE to!
No worries Elle.
I'll let you know if I need you. Thanks for volunteering.
As of right now, there are 13 groups. A couple more people signed up so I think there is only 1 person doing 2 centers. I had a list of names for those that wanted to do 2, and said they could IF I needed them to fill in on another group.
Should have groups out by Monday.
