Loretta,
The mystery quilt that I'm doing sort of has a deadline. They started releasing the clues the middle of June. Then you pick up one clue every 2 weeks for 12 weeks with the last one Aug. 23rd. I have gone and picked up the clues that I'm not ready for yet.
Then they have a "finishing party" at the end of October. Your "ticket" into the party is your completed top or quilt. They put the tops on display for everyone to see on one side of the store, and the finished quilts on the other. Then you get to vote on the best quilt and whoever made it, gets a big prize from the store.
I'm not worried about votes or anything like that. I am curious about what colors other people chose and how they look different from eachother. I'm hoping I can at least have the top done so I can go to the party. Being tonally color-blind I like the idea of looking at other people's color choices. I have to be much more careful since certain tones of colors all look the same to me.
