Thats about what I was guessing, but I only have about 1 1/2 yards left so I'm worrying. Fortunately it's a moda, me and my sisters fabric, so it shouldn't be too hard to find more if I need it. I prefer to shop at a bricks and mortar store normally, but at moments like this I really love the Internet.

I think after I finish more of this clue I might get one of my children to help me post a picture (which will show my neutral). Someone gave fairly easy step by step directions, so between that and help from the kiddos I think I will try. I'm so excited about how cute my colors are!

peaceandjoy, thank you for the encouraging comments!

Nilla, I really look forward to seeing your fabrics.

I hope we'll be using lots more blue in the quilt. Of the hotel photos, those aqua ceilings made the biggest impression on me. I've been thinking of ideas for piecing any leftover blues for the back.

Ha! You won't believe what just happened to me. I was rereading the latest clue, looking at the fabric and admiring the spider fabric, when a little spider walked across my screen. It was about the same size as the spider in the fabric and at first I thought it was an animation Bonnie had added to the page. Then I realized it was real. Gee....do you think I ought to quit sewing and dust!!!

Jo, my sympathies to you about the loss of your husband. Such a huge adjustment to make in your life. I read a quote one time about the steady monotony of hand work having a healing property. I wish I could find that quote because I think it is so true.

Jo, I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot begin to imagine the pain of it. I hope you have family and close friends nearby that can lend you some of their strength when you need it.

I was wondering about fabric totals also. The piles seem to be getting small and we are only in week 3. Maybe I didn't pull as much out of my stash as I thought.

Here is what I have done so far. 80 units from step 1, 70 units from step 2 and 40 of step 3.

I am using light gray thread for in the both the top and bottom. I am using bottom line in the bobbin, I read using bottom line helps keep the seam allowance accurate.
