1857 Album quilt from sentimental stitches.com |
She is offering 3-4 free blocks a month over the next 20 months to recreate this beautiful quilt. I love her patterns.... I started with the midget blocks (Jill, Angela and Ellen drew me into that one!) and have a stack of them sitting in a drawer hoping to be put together some day. Those were free on her website at one time and there are still a bunch out there for free. Then.... I purchased the midget appliqué blocks as a digital download. That was my hand work (or one of them!) last year and I have one block to make and then I can set them and get it to a top stage. And now...... darn it all... I saw the quilt and she drew me in again!
Deep breath..... it just gives me motivation to really finish off the blue sashing on my blocks this month so I can get to work on the NEW project =) I am going to swap out the red and cheddar in the quilt to be purple and yellow I believe. I think I have nice stacks of those colors on the shelf to fill in for this quilt. How is your willpower? Will you be joining in too?

May you never lose your mojo for the midget blocks! Go for it! ~Jeanne
I saw it too and I plan to participate as well. So beautiful and so exciting!!!
Where and when I will find the time for all the projects I have planned I have no idea! ;)
I downloaded it and I'm struggling between enchantment and reality :)
I'm downloading the patterns, but I'll wait to work on it until I have all the patterns. Haven't even thought about what color fabrics to use.
You're on your own their kiddo. It's a stunning quilt but my appliqué skills are pretty ordinary and I lose interest quickly. Much more fun to watch others create these masterpieces. The purple/yellow combo sounds good.
Downloaded the first three the other day :)
