    I forgot to tell you I'm one of your newest followers too! I guess I forgot to tell you that I'm from Highland, Utah and I'm working on several things right now one of which is our last block of the month. Now I can put it all together and have it quilted.

    Hi, I am Michelle from Ontario, Canada. I had to laugh when you asked your question, because I have a few projects on the go, that are due within the next month. I have been making a time line to get it all organized. I am working on my colour blocks for a swap, my 9 patch quilt along, my zigzag quilt, my bento box quilt and the binding for my Spring Meadow quilt.

    Hi. I'm Joan from Oregon. I am putting borders on several tops, but am about to sew together a hexagon quilt top from comfortstichings half hexagon quiltalong. I definitely have hexies on the brain right now.=, so I will be reading your tutorial with interest! I was never interested in templates for years -- thinking them so old fashioned, but now I can see a whole new world of quilting opening up if I embrace the idea of using templates. Can't wait to see more of your work!!!

    I'm from South Lyon, MI and I'm embarrassed about all that I'm working on. I have my OP blocks made but not put together. An Ocean Breeze kit from Pat Sloan is pieced and the appliques fused. Just need to blanket stitch them down. I have a Jo's Little Women's club quilt I'm hand quilting. I'm backbasting/appliqueing Peppermint Twist which is a Jo Morton pattern. . . and I haven't started the Holiday Inn quilt yet from JLWC #8. I've never done the follower thing before, but I do use RSS feeds and Google Reader!

    I really had no idea what a hexagon ruler is good for, since I just started this whole quilting thing. However, if you say it is useful I'm sure it is:) Finding some Canadian content is awesome too, since I'm a BC girl. Great job with the tutorial. My current and first project is a baby coin quilt. I've put a photo of the completed top on my new blog. -Bronwen
