    More power to you Kizzie! All those little blocks give me a headache just looking at them! But you can do it, I know you can. The history is very interesting!

    WOW!! You go girl!! It looks like a very big challenge. Perhaps a little too big for me. I would love you see your progress as you make this. Good luck!
    Blessed are the children of the piecemakers for they shall inherit the quilts!

    You have more patience that I do.. I'd love to be able to do such small work, but I'm cross-eyed now with the 12 & 8 inch blocks. Just can't see well enough to go any smaller. Keep us informed and show off your work when ya get going with this "amazing" project.

    Thanks, Kizzie, for this post! I didn't realize the blocks were small. I just thought, wow, that is one giant quilt! How big are those blocks? What I love is the boarder, too. Amazing quilt! I might just get that book.

    Love your avatar. We really need to meet up sometime!!

    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    I just saw that Electric Quilt sells Dear Jane software that is a stand alone software. That should mean you don't need Electric Quilt to use it. It looks like it might be worth buying. Of course, I have EQ7 and EQ6, so I could just use that. I just don't see anywhere what the size of the blocks are to be.

    Good luck with the quilt, you have much more patience than I have.
    Remember, people will see your quilts long after you are gone. . . Not your housework!!
