WOW you guys have been on a roll. I decided to make mine in blue/green with a pop of orange. I have all the pieces cut and hope to start sewing tomorrow at quilt group. I'm making the lap size, this will be my test quilt. The strip that goes down the middle is "not" part of the 12 count. There are 12 blocks in the lap top. I'm on a sort of fabric diet this year so I want to use up fabrics that are scraps and ones I no longer love. I hope everyone will post photos of their Wicked quilts. Thanks for all the ideas and photos .... they really help a lot.
