Within a few of hours of receiving an email from an online quilting friend telling me that Bonnie surprised everyone by the early announcement, I was out picking up paint chips for myself and a few to mail to friends who don't live near a Lowe's. I got the paint chips in the mail to them right away. Yesterday I pulled all of the recommended colors from my stash. Now, to decide if I want to stay with those colors or change some of them out... I want to get the binding sewn on and hand-stitched down on my Celtic Solstice before Grand Illusion begins.
