I'm loving my vacation in Maine. I have stopped at 2 fabric stores so far. 
Loaded up on lighthouses/shells/seashore/starfish/sailboats. Lovely fabric from Marcus Brothers/Timeless Treasures/Elizabeth's Studio(which I love!) and a few others.
Thanks for the welcomes!

Hi to all!
I have finally decided on my theme - batiks. I bought enough fabric to send everyone a fat quarter to use to keep a little consistancy throughout the rows. I will also be including some sashing to go between rows.
My question for everyone is this: do you want me to send you the fat quarter now or do you want to get it with the row? Majority will be the method! I hope to get a square or two done next week and will post a picture when I do.
Hope everyone is doing well. oldcatlady your fabrics sound great, should make into a beautiful quilt.
Scrapper and cuppy would love to see pictures if you have started on your rows. Shana hope your computer problems are short lived.
Take care all!

do we make whatever blocks we want as long as they go with the theme if not specifically mentioned?
I like the idea of seeing the blocks early so we can get an idea of what we want to do or to get fabric.
CherylW - are you leaning toward a specific color of batiks? I have a lot in my stash already. I'm OK with whatever you decide about the fat quarters.

CherylW, I would rather have the fat quarter come with the top...if it comes seperate I'm afraid I'll put it "some where safe" and never find it!
Cat Lady - My understanding was that we could do what ever we wanted as long as it fit the theme of the quilt...someone tell me now if that isn't right!!
Unfortunately my laptop sleeps with the fishes lol borrowing/sharing with my sister until I'm able to get a new one sometime around Christmas...maybe if I'm lucky a bit earlier. When I get my center finished I'll post pictures of it, but it probably won't be until close to Thanksgiving!

All right everyone - 1 month until your 1st row needs to be mailed. I will send a PM to everyone with the list of addresses and where you need to be sending your row. I should have pics this weekend of my squares.
Hope everyone is doing well and weathered the storms ok. Lots of wind here but I missed it by being in Las Vegas visiting my brother. 80's and sunny the whole time. Oh well, now back to real life - 30's and overcast!
If anyone is having any problems - be sure to let me know and I will see what I can do to help.
Have fun!
