Are you taking a class or tackling it on your own? How big will you be making your? Good Luck and I can't wait to see your progress :-)

How did everyone make out with their quilts? I have everything I need except the fabric 
I am going to try and pick fabrics from my large stash of Bali pops bought at an estate sale and stash. The cost of everything is so much!

Paper piecing is done!
I am currently in the middle of making the "Bali Wedding Star" quilt. I'm doing an 8 x 8. I thought about doing a 7 x7, but I didn't like that the stars weren't symmetrical, so I went bigger.
I am ready to start piecing my blocks together. I'm so excited! This is definitely an expensive project, but I fell in love with this pattern the minute I saw it and I knew it was my "someday" quilt. Well, "someday" is finally here and I LOVE it! I purchased most of my fabric online. I bought 2 Bali pop sets (40 pieces each) and 2 Bali Poppy sets (20 pieces each). There were a few fabrics that I didn't particularly like, so I purchased additional batik prints at my local quilt shop to fill in. The star fabrics and background fabrics I bought at the quilt shop as well.
Before I started my "big" quilt, I made a sample 2 x 2 quilt just to familiarize myself with the process. I was very pleased with the results. I'm doing 1 color for the background. I couldn't find many white-ish/grayish colors to use for the background, so I just decided to go with one. I'll include a couple pictures... one of my 2 x 2 quilt and a couple color ring sets. I'm excited to continue the next steps of this process!
Happy quilting!

I am almost done mine!!!! Here's the thread where I posted my progress:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...d-t285889.html
I went with my own colours, and had a quilting store cut up all my fabrics for me.
If you can do it that way, just find any store in your area that does quiltworx patterns and they know exactly what you are talking about!!!!
Good luck and have fun ... the biggest thing? BE ORGANIZED LOL ...
