    Great job getting started. I got my material purchased but have not started yet. Not sure when now.

    I too would love to see your progress.

    those are really pretty! I don't think I'd ever make one because I can't stand tiny pieces, but the quilts are lovely! post them all, we don't care!

    A whole group of board members started this quilt in January 2009, with a schedule for three or four blocks a week, plus a triangle. Some of us have finished, and there are still some working on it, and others have since joined and working at their own pace.

    Thanks for all the lovely comments, everyone! Maybe I will just add more pictures to this post as I go, so that I don't overload the board, lol. These took a lot of time to make, but they are a lot of fun! And, yes, super tiny- the inner star on the yellow block is the same size as a quarter! Jane was crazy, I think. ;)

    (Correction- I said A9 was 45 pieces, that's what it would have been if I'd followed the pattern in the book, but that would have meant sewing two pieces of the same fabric together to make the big triangles. I just made them out of one piece, instead, so- 41 pieces.)
