You see I've been gathering red fabrics to maybe make a Dear Jane quilt, but really this one is even better for a Canadian woman to make and the blocks seem similar. You are fast and good! Your blocks look wonderful. I work at a snail's pace really with such slow stitching. Happy Stitching!Jocelyn is Canadian Needle Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11770193529950365462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-57416899390499355022016-12-10T03:34:30.105-05:002016-12-10T03:34:30.105-05:00Ooh, this is going to be lovely!

I've already forgotten your vow to stop BOMs. This is too lovely and meaningful to pass up.<br />I hope your back improves soon.

Making the journey and adapting to the new environment are difficult accomplishments that most Canadians are proud of, whether it was 150 years ago or last week. So that is just a given. With the difficult climate, and the isolation, the real Canadian value is cooperation and helping others. Really, it is just common sense when it is quite likely that you could be snowed in and needing help next time. So I have a feeling that courage and making life better for others will be the themes this year. I am glad to be joining in!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596185668087389269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-18533974529752678292016-12-08T00:17:47.557-05:002016-12-08T00:17:47.557-05:00Thanks, Terry!

I like your ideas of including lots of different styles of fabrics it's a great way to personalize the 150 blocks.

I suspect we would be more inclined to filter by identification - always keen to lay claim to those who chose Australia (especially those who chose it over England!). You've made an inspired start - I just love the something-from-what-I have-spare concept - so appropriate to the topic. I shall follow this with great interest. I'm also laughing to myself - yesterday I also embarked on an entirely new and left-field project - must be a meteor out there somewhere!
