I have Hidden in Plain View.... haven't read it yet.

I think if you split the bill, ladies, that would be most fair. Good thing Mark's working--he'll have to spend the first paycheck on fabric for his masterpiece. :wink:

I ordered quite a few fabrics tonight. I'm adding mostly red and blue, with a touch of green, gray and gold. For the lights--cream and tan, not white. It'll be very scrappy. I'll need more green, gold, brown, and lights before I'm done. But I have plenty of time.

It's an on-line project since I'm sure the Mennonite shops I usually frequent don't have these fabrics. Dang. Cha-ching.

I chose pieces from Bonnie Blue and here http://www.civilwarfabrics.com/index.html

This will be fun. :D

Do you quilt or bind them any special way, or stick to traditional methods? Since my husband won't know the difference, I'll most likely stick to the usual--machine quilting and double binding.
