Probably will need more background fabric...I can handle that.
I've been though many pages on this thread and hope to get through them all before January and make notes on any problems/suggestions people had on certain blocks.

Welcome all the newbies. Wow i love all of the blocks. You guys are are really getting this finished fast. Carriem I used all one fabric for my background and I think I used 6 yards. I am pretty sure I bought 7 yards and had a little left over that I used on my back. I had emailed Carol Doak to ask how much and they didn't know.
Kael Love your blocks. I don't even recognize the last one done on black which one that is? Keep up the good work.

Kaelyn--I will be sure to post when I am ready to start! I got a "flimsy" done this weekend. Now I have 3 quilts to quilt and one baby quilt to bind before I move onto the next UFO....
Meanmom--thanks for the background info. I am going to make 2 quilts so will get 4 yards each of the two background fabrics I want to use.
