Just grab and sew! fraew post #625 above. "@whitepine: for mystery scrappies I make sure that I cut up a little of everything for each clue and mix them up as I piece so that it's scrappy as I go. When everything is done and ready to lay out, I do my best to spread things around. Hope that helps."
Great advise.

I find that I'm loving the units made with perky, busier fabrics (shown on the facebook page). Unfortunately, my fabrics are mostly blenders. Seeing all the photos is a great way to learn about one's own preferences, without doing any work, LOL.
It will be awhile before I have pictures to post. I should be able to finish up a non-quilting chore today that's been taking most of my time, and then I can start in earnest. I've made one HST unit, and cut one strip, so as to try out the ruler. I really like it! (I forgot to try cutting 4 layers at once, as Bonnie showed in the Easy Angle video).

I've been following along and debating if I should try or not. I've never done a MQ but I've read a bunch of the threads, seen how much fun everyone has so what the heck...I'll give it a try!
I finally dug through my stash and found most of the colors recommended but most of the pinks I have weren't even close so I went and picked up some fat quarters that I thought would work. Here is what I came up with, let me know if you see something that looks off
Thanks!
