I hope it makes sense.

On a related note, I've collected more than 50 pieces of Kaffe fabric and I shudder to think what I've spent on this quilt so far - fabric, software, rulers, freezer paper, Aurifil thread, etc. I even bought a new iron. I'm just ignoring the cost. In for a penny, in for a pound on this project.
I have about 50 different fabrics a well. I don't know exactly what I am going to do yet. I love the Kaffe line of fabrics.
All of the blocks are so beautiful with their own personalities.
I still can't get my printer to print. I just bought it. I may have to have "the geek squad" come out. I have only done week one so far. I am having to draw the patterns by hand.
