Denise and Alina, maybe you could change your move dates, what is more important LOL. Seriously, wish you could join, but I wish you great success on your moves.

Buttercup, just thought of an idea--it's just for pondering/expanding/deleting, etc. we could make a smorgasboard of desserts quilt. on the smorgasboard table there will be losts of desserts (the dessert blocks). and there are always things between the desserts on the table, like flowers or other cute little knick nacks to make the table look "festive and appealing". so we could all make an "in between" block as well as our dessert blocks. could be just a fabric piece or a 9 patch or other kind of block. again, just a thought to put into the pot.

Kittyquilt - I like your idea, too. We'll ponder this further, and decide by May 15th.

Everyone - Looks like Sewcarolyn and I are each making 2 different blocks, so I am updating the list to reflect that. If anyone else wants to do more than one block, let us know.

Are you saying 10 each of two different blocks - so the total is still 20. Or is it 20 each for a total of 40.
Sorry -

You only need to do 20. I am doing 2 sets as is Betsy. If you want to do 10 of one kind and 10 of another that is fine too

Hi, All!

I decided to make an executive decision and set the due date for August 1st, mainly because I wanted people to have a definite date to plan on. If there are a lot of strong objections, it can always be changed.

Here's a really easy idea: A LOLLIPOP! How simple would that be?
