It is all pieced, the backing is ready, warm and natural batting is sandwiched with a backing (pieced in three pieces), and I...

Or I at least need to take them out, wrap them in cotton wool and soak them in tepid tea. Next time I agree to do pay work remind me that I need to specify CLEAR copy, detailed diagrams, and if somebody wants translations of any kind whatsoever they had best provide them for me. I am silk...

Hi Kay, Feel free to shout me down if I'm out of place suggesting this. As Elly publishes her choices could you put the BOM links for each month and block type somewhere on the RCTQ web page, together with links to the ones that Jessamy had already chosen/designed? That would save searching...

To those who expressed interest in the mini block swap (blocks are 3.5" unfinished) I have created a Yahoo Group. Please join up. Once we're all gathered there we'll discuss rules, time lines, colors, and themes. Only thing I DO know at this point is that the blocks will be 3.5" unfinished and that...
