I know!! I am so excited!! I still have to figure out what I am going to do for the background. I don’t know if I should just buy a bolt of fabric so it’s all the same (sashing too) or maybe do a dark blue scrappy look for the blocks. I don’t want the piecing to get lost in the background, so I am not sure if scrappy would be a good idea ….. But then the thought of buying a bolt of fabric right now is daunting LOL

Love your circular idea for the blocks Rachel, I bought a bolt of Kona cotton from Hancocks of Paducah (15 yards, and it has done everything (background, sashing and plain tris). There is also enough left to do the scallops on the edge too, so the only other fabric I needed was the backing. Since mine was in a natural colour, I ordered their 120in wide natural to match. It's on its way now - I've been waiting for it for about two weeks so far, so it won't be much longer.
