How many people are signed up and committed? Also how many blocks are they making?

athenagwis 07-11-2012 10:54 AM
So far we have 10 people signed up and, assuming that the TBD people make at least one set, we have a minimum of 20 sets coming my way. Hopefully we can get more people signed up though, still a bit till sign-ups close. Be sure to post pics as you are sewing to entice others to join us!! :) :) :)

If you want to keep track of sign-ups, you can take a peek here whenever you want:

C, they are all wonderful. My DGS would especially love the tractor, the race car... the fire engine, well, I guess he would love them ALL!

Or the block above that has the spaceship over the city, that's super simple without having to paper piece a block, you could do something similar to make a car driving on a road or a tractor on a farm. Be creative!! Paper piecing isn't the only option by any means!! :)

let me see if I understand this. I can use transportation material such as john deere tractors and just make a regular type quilt square.

I was thinking of a dragon.

Yes that would work too!! It's good to have a variety of blocks in the quits as you don't want them to be too busy!! :) My rule of thumb is I will only make blocks I would be happy to see coming back to me. If you love it, so will we!! :)
