Sorry Megan,  I am tied up with International Quilt Festival Houston right now.  I will also be helping some of your fellow Australians get around Houston and surrounding areas.  Maybe I can get in on the next one!

This sounds like a fabulous idea, Megan I really like the way you have it planned out. Unfortunately, I am unable to join in, just too many things going on for me right now. I hope you get a couple more people to sign up, it sounds like lots of fun. Good luck!

Sounds fun...  One question....by providing the pattern can one use from a favorite designer.   I love Jenny Doan.  Would that be ok.   I love to piece quilts, but I have not got to the stage that I can design blocks yet.

I think we can start with 4.
Kathy you don't need to design a block. All you need to do is pick a block that you think would look good repeated across a row.

My suggestion is we go with 4.
Small changes to original idea would be on the block rows each person makes 5 blocks. 3 for the swap with the rest of us and 2 for herself. That would mean you have 5 for your row making it 40"" across. A reasonable size when borders etc are added to make a single size quilt or small enough for a wall hanging.
To lengthen the quilt there are a number of ways. We can each decide on a pattern for a row twice or there are some other rows I can suggest we do.... Row of flying geese, row of 2" squares are some ideas.

I'll put one more group message out for extras with a final date a week from now.
In the meantime if you can each email me at megan.sawyer@bigpond.com with your name and address for posting blocks to , your colour preference/s for blocks and a block design name you would like to have as a row.
I will then pass on the relevant information to our small group by email. I suggest we look at the 1st of the month as the date for our blocks to be posted by ( 1st of December) being the first postal date.

Megan-sounds good to me okay I've decided to go scrappy (I know that's not what I said before) but I decided that would fit in for me better. So I am going. Scrappy. My 8 inch square will be a monkey wrench pattern. My mailing address is Donna Rosengarten. 16037 E 10500 N Road. Grant Park , IL 60940 and my email is dnnrosengarten@yahoo.com
