I've seen several people who are planning on making a quilt for themselves this year.

OK, since I've started the ultimate scrappy star quilt, I would love
to join. I'm still working on the strippy borders, but this should
give me incentive to keep going ( along with the DIY blocks).

Hi Bonnie:

Go to http://www.mardiweb.com/RCTQ/ and join the RCTQ DIY BOM.

You can call it your "do it for yourself (DIFY) quilt.

those who are interested (no commitment or nagging will be required, so don't feel
pressured about that, it's just so that i don't get confused...lol.)

Or join the RCTQ DIY BOM at http://www.mardiweb.com/RCTQ/ and call it
your "DIFM" (do it for me) quilt. I am providing the web space and
the posting service. Come on in and join us.

Well, i've got too many projects right now to add another to the list. That's why i
thought of this group. No reason people can't do both, eh?

Well, looks like we have a good sized group. Here's what we do...and
thanks to
Butterfly for the suggestions.

We post here to the group on a monthly basis. I'll try to be the first
to post an
update, and the rest of you can follow my lead. I may have to have
someone post in
April for me, because i'm having surgery that first week...but we'll
deal with that
when the time comes. Posts will be titled "A Quilt for ME - January (or
whatever
month it happens to be)"

With your post, just tell us what you did this past month to further
your completion
of your quilt, even if it's just to say you picked out a pattern, etc.
If you wish
to show us a photo, i can offer space on my website (i'll be putting my
progress pix
there), or you can use your own photo sharing site. Whichever, just
know that the
option is open.

That's it, that's all there is to it. This is a no-pressure club. No
deadlines,
other than having your quilt finished by twelve months after you start
it, and even
that's pretty loose. I won't be hunting you down if you don't make an
update
post...nothing like that. My idea here is to encourage you (and me) to
make that one
quilt you've put off making for yourself, without adding pressure.
Thanks for
playing! I can't wait to see your progress.

uhmmmm...i picked out the pattern, does that count as a start???

Count me in. Now I have to decide what quilt I want to do
for my room. I decides to do a block of the month for the
guestroom, Moondance from Applewood. I saw that and loved
the look. Can't wait to begin! It doesn't start until Jan
15th.

I love it too, just no time to add another project this year. I'll be saving the
pattern, though.

nope! I was washing as I bought, but then I just started shoving it in
a box so that it was all in the same box.

My 'design fabric' is cut out (since 2001?). The background fabric is not
but is washed and ready to be. Depending on "life" this month--I may not get
any further .
((((Stack n Whack pattern
Fabric: Butterflies...
Background: cream butterfly outlines on cream ))))
