More good news: there are NO y-seams in these blocks!!! I looked closer at the patterns. (Can you tell I hate y-seams LOL?????)
jtquilts, I'm still undecided about fabric but I'm really leaning towards Christmasy. I did the Farmer's Wife Sampler and I'm finishing (I hope) the Farmer's Wife Pony quilts in scrappy fabrics. Christmasy will be so different and hold the attention of my Senior Blonde mind. It will be fun seeing what everyone here chooses. The blocks are the same but the color interpretations make them appear completely different.
