I've been busy catching up on a lot of projects lately; my "Bible Study" homework is just one of them. Quiltkeemosabe and I will meet again this week to work on our next batch of blocks out of Rosemary Youngs' book. As of today, here's where I stand: 63 out of 202 (6" blocks) are complete, that's 31.188%. Our "Bible Study" began innocently enough late last summer, you can read about our idea and how it all got started here. This has been so much fun so far; along the way we've experimented with new piecing techniques and tools, read books that we might not have picked up if the other hadn't suggested them, and enjoyed catching up and reinforcing our longtime friendship over a home-cooked meal (usually with an exchange of recipes). Plus, the BIG bonus: we'll each end up with a quilt when it's all said and done. Since I'm on the subject of percentages, I can tell you this with 100% certainty: it just doesn't get any better than this! Grab a book and a buddy and set up your own "study" group, you'll be glad you did.
Life is Good!

Nice work on your homework! :-) Love the little basket blocks in your other posts, too. You are making great progress.
A lovely collection of blocks. Obviously this has only been one of the benefits of this venture with your friend.
What a blessing it is that you have a quilty friend to work together with.
What a great way to work on a quilt. I would LOVE to have such a good quilting friend close enough to be able to do that.
