Thanks again, everyone. I haven't started on the purple one yet, other than having the strips cut out. I did use colored pencils and graph yesterday to try to figure out the order I want. I am still undecided though. Once I finish sandwiching the quilt I am on, I will dive into the purple one. My sister has offered to put my colors in her computer ...phooey, I can't recall what the program is called, Q something or other. I will probably take her up on that before I proceed.
What is really neat is that I have "visions of quilts dancing in my head." This is new for me, having more than one quilt idea going at a time. I like it. Maybe I am maturing as a quilter? (I have only been quilting 3 years, not like my expert sis who has been at it 13 years and teaches classes.) It used to scare me to select fabric, and I am starting to enjoy it!!
