Here you go all you 6" Sylvia Block fans!

I so would love to do this one, but I have Farmer's Wife book so I may start there first, but I will be "watching"

You'll have to post a link to the flickr photos... I can't seem to locate them.  It sounds like fun, but I have too many ufo's and unstarted ufo's.  If this is what I think it is it will be similar to the Dear Jane quilt... of which I am collecting the kits monthly and haven't started on them either... but at least I will have all the fabrics ready to use when I am.

I don't know if this will work - but we can try.....

that's the URL from the top of the page, works for me, but may not work for you-all.

Bobbie - it worked and I joined!  Very nice.  Refresh my mind--are these the blocks from Sylvia's wedding quilt by Jennifer's books?

[bbmolony]

Oh, I'm so glad that worked!  Makes me think that my 32 years of working with computers hasn't gone by the wayside!!!!

Yes, this is from the Jennifer Chiaverini books - they now came out with a book called "Sylvia's Wedding Quilt" which contains all the patterns.  They are fun to do, but some of them are really stinkers!

There are quite a few that are paper pieced, and I had to do 3 or 4 so far by hand, because my machine - as talented as my Bernina is - could not conquer them.

Enjoy.

Bobbie,  Since Sylvia and group did all their work by hand, not surprising some did not work on machine. 

[bbmolony]

Good point Karen.

Where do you live in Tucson?  My son lived in Marana for about 15 years - really pretty area - liked it a lot, but now he's divorced and living in CA so I guess no more trips to Marana for me.  There was a really nice quilt shop that had all their fat quarters tied up like cactus needles - can't remember the name of the shop, though.

I also joined you, Bobbie

Great blocks Bobbie!!

[KarenInTucson]

I live in the northeast foothills of Tucson off of the Catalina Highway to Mount Lemmon. We are fortunate enough to have 4 shops in Tucson.  You probably went to the Cactus Quilts.  I live within 10 miles of 3 shops.  

Would love to meet anyone who comes to Tucson.  Just send me a note and we can meet up.  I have family in Phoenix as well and go up there a few times during the year.

Are the Dear Jane and Sylvia's, both 6"  - someone is trying to talk me into the Sylvia's - afraid I wouldn't stick with it, and if I did, I don't think I would do the same settings, just rows of blocks - I'd have to make them into several quilts I think - hee hee - prob make me think I finished something quicker!! LOL

[Pat]

ohhhhh... maybe we need a Sylvia's / Dear Jane? Wonder if I can change the topic name?

[lovetostitch]

That would probably be a good idea - cuz I think some are doing them, and also would encourage each other to pick them up occasionally - don't you have one going too, Pat?

Bobbie, you have a great start going!! Love the blues!!

[bbmolony]

A Sylvia /Dear Jane?  That would be great.  Dear Jane blocks I believe are 4 inches - boggles my mind!  I have the book but never had the nerve to start them.  Sylvia blocks are all 6 inches.

Hey, Pat, maybe we could change the name.  Can I transfer ownership to you?  I don't know how that would work.
