Darlene's Slackers Quilt Along

Love those huge sampler quilts with tiny blocks (like a Dear Jane quilt) but don't feel quite up to making one? Then this group is for you! We will be making one using larger (six inch) blocks and our quilt will have ONLY 140 blocks.

Welcome Fellow Slackers!

Not up for doing two-hundred and twenty-five 4" blocks? Then this group is for you! We will be using Jennifer Chiaverini's book, Sylvia's Bridal Sampler from Elm Creek Quilts to make ONLY (?) one-hundred and forty 6" blocks. The challenge is to have the quilt finished in one year. We will officially begin on June 15, 2009 and finish on June 15 2010, however, please join in the fun anytime. You can see that I will be making mine from our new collection Hearth & Home but you can use anything you like. This quilt is a good way to use up all your scraps and in the end you will have an amazing quilt.

I will be making the blocks in the same order as they appear in the quilt not how they are alphabetically listed in the book but you are free to make them in any order you like. Each week pictures and tips will be posted in the Discussion Forum. Since some of you will be making them in the order they appear in the book or in no particular order we will include those blocks in the discussion too. A list of each block has magically appeared and you can post your tips and/or pictures under the blocks you made. Everyone is encouraged to add tips and/or pictures of their blocks. Our only rule is that each block has to be different. Let the fun begin!

Barbi, say Thank You to Dolly(owner of the recipe) and Gayle(beggar of the recipe). She was talking about it the other day and I asked her to post it so we could all try it.
Neta, I thought you were saying it was your birthday, as in the last few days. Whew, that means I didn't miss it. I will catch you in Jan. My youngest DGD's is the 11th of Jan. Very close together.

Neta, when is your b'day???? I do the birthday list every night and cannot remember doing your b'day.

Tennessee Star is done! It took me a big portion of today putting the squares and triangles in place. I cut the background pieces a little larger than needed. I compared how mine looks and the ones on the discussion
and see that my final triangles seams lay on top where it looks like everyone else still managed to have all the corners end up on last. Don't know what the difference in construction was but at least one of my hardest is done!!
