Our mailing order is: Me to FQ Stash Queen
FQ Stash Queen to Qbee
Qbee to TF Quilter
TF Quilter to pamesue
Pamesue to me
Reminder of due dates: Row 1 -- Feb 15
Row 2 -- April 15
Row 3 -- June 15
Row 4 -- Aug 15
Row 5 -- Oct 15
---------------------------------------
TF Quilter -- Your row is beautiful!!!! Are you sure you are in the right group -- like maybe you belong with the advanced group???? Wow -- I don't know how I can add to that. Where did you get your pattern? Are you looking for applique for the rest of the rows? I assume you want to maintain a Victorian "feel" to the rest of the quilt. I can't imagine mixing anything that beautiful with mod images are cartoon types. Would vintage Sunbonnet Sue qualify? Pamesue -- you have a tough act to follow. Can't wait to see what you do.

Definitely send with receipt confirmation. I think we agreed to include a 12 1/2" extra block, using scraps from the blocks we used for our added row. Our name and date etc. should be somewhere on that one. Or maybe just our name and date. The 5th block we need to make a complete row across the back can be the "signature" block we all add our names to. I plan on sending that one along with my row. Think of it as a big quilt label. It doesn't necessarily need to be 12 1/2" square, but I want to fit it in between the 4 extra blocks. Clear as mud? I'll try to make an example of what I mean and post it later on. Let me know if y'all t hink this is too much work and I'm overdoing it. I just thought it would be fun to have unique backs.
Oh yeah, don't forget the journal.

Thanks for all the references, TF -- that helps a lot.

Stash Queen: here is a quick recap of themes:
Me: (slight change due to thinking too hard) bright solid stars on a black background. Full block size or combinations of smaller blocks for a scrappier look.
FQ Stash Queen: brown/turq blue, kitchen theme (fabrics or motifs as theme)
Qbee: Spring
TF Quilter: ladies/girls (see her post on top of this page)
Pamesue: pink and brown sampler blocks
