Ok, I need to get more than one done. A couple of these are WIPS and a couple of these have been around a while The wedding gift will be a lap size quilt.

I just got a wedding invitation on Friday, the wedding is Oct 10. In the center of the fabrics is a picture of the plates they have chosen, very colorful, but it is the only thing I have to go on for colors

I put this square together this week. It is to make a 24" square pillow for my DD#3. It matches her quilt which is in my avitar. It has been sitting around in pieces for over 4 years. I now need to quilt it and turn it into a pillow with a zipper.

You really have an eye for color. I love bright colors! I also love earth tones. Oh, heck. I love lots of stuff. Don't overwhelm yourself, now. Just pick what you REALLY think you can finish.

My oldest daughter's birthday is Oct.10 also.

I want to do the challenge also, but I have so many to finish, I'll need to get my priorities straight to see what I can commit to.

Okay, I have been "working" on this for about 10 years. I think it's high time. There are 12 blocks in the kit but I have just had it with applique and settled on 9 to make a quilt work out. I now have my 9 blocks (18" sq.!!) and my setting fabric ( hope it's enough). Here we go!!

AnnaK, those blocks are sooo interesting and gorgeous. Yes, you need to do something with them. (Now, I've got my never encouraging anyone to "do something." I should take my own advice. :oops: ) What is the connecting fabric (sashing, etc.)?
