Thank you!
I wish I had a quilted pic to show you ... it looks so much nicer all finished off!!

It was a $10 quilt ... we paid $10, and then you got a strip of fabric 3" x 1/2WOF and were told which block in the quilt pattern to do. You could use all the strip or just a smidgeon ... and then you dug into your stash for the rest of the fabrics. Once you had that done, you took it back for show and tell, and got your next strip. It was fun to work away, and decide what fabrics to bring into the mix and how to get them all blending together. The fabrics in this one were all "darks" ... almost muddy tones to them.

I was having so much fun, after the first strip, I decided to do a 2nd one, using the "batiks", so it took on a totally different look.
