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!

Karen's probably WORKING!

Cackle! I was just thinking the same thing Diane. Karen's probably waiting for Darlene and I to hang ourselves.

Where's Karen to mediate?

Queens are nice and you are not - you instigating block stealer!
Darlene, WA Comment by Darlene, WA on June 18, 2009 at 8:44am
Ah, come on - pretty please?
Mari/WA Comment by Mari/WA on June 18, 2009 at 8:42am
Queen? Never!

"Dictator Darlene"? While I do appreciate the aliteration, I think I would prefer "Queen".
Mari/WA Comment by Mari/WA on June 18, 2009 at 8:26am
Rosarita ~ I was thinking the same thing! I think its a good idea to sprinkle the easy blocks inbetween those hard ones. I hate Y seams!
Rosarita/AR Comment by Rosarita/AR on June 18, 2009 at 8:24am
I finished Tennessee Block last night. I don't care for the Y-seam, but I am glad that I have to make only ONE block.
