I've decided to join along with "Don't Look Now's" "Joseph's Coat" quilt-along. Seeing all of the beautiful creations in the Flickr pool has really made me want to try this out. The one that really caught my eye and gave me the push to join was Cabbage Quilts' block (top row last one.) Her bright cheery colors and charcoal gray background have really captured my interest. I have a feeling this will take a couple of months to make the quilt top.

I've ordered all of my materials and am ready to start as soon as I get moved into the new place. I'll be using Meadosweet by Sandi Henderson and Kona Cotton in Charcoal. I've even made my block template and everything. I'm itching to get started but I've already moved my sewing room over to the new place so I can't even work on it when I find a spare moment.
Making the block template was a challenge. First my really nice compass {from my days in art school} was missing it's leads and missing a piece, rendering it completely useless! I took a quickie trip to Wally-world just for a compass. I bought their nicest one and came home all excited only to find out it doesn't open up wide enough! It's a good thing I'm handy with a mouse. I whipped up a template in Illustrator and I'm making it available to all of you who might not have a compass handy. You can either have it printed at Kinko's, Staples, Office max, etc on a large enough piece of paper (it measures 11"x11") or you can print it up at home on several pages and tape it together very carefully.

When do you find time to do all you do. I guess I'm just not organized enough. Nope that's not it...just lazy. LOL
Oooh, I hope you have a great time! I really want to do that project - maybe I will someday, and when I do, I'll know just where to get the template -- Thank You!!!
Great template! I definetely could have used it to begin with. I only have one block done but several petals made. I need to get back to working on it again! Thanks for the template :-)
Joy ... I was thinking the exact same thing ... exact. same. thing!
Love ya, Mrs. PD
Yes, you are awesome!! I've been wanting to start that project, but the main thing that was holding me back is that I didn't want to deal with a compass. :) Woo!
