Also, when are they due? I'll be on vacation 16-24 Jan, will that be a problem?
Thanks

Sharon,
So glad to have you join us. They aren't due at any specific time. You can make all of them or just the ones you like the best. As for fabric, I just used pieces that I liked from my stash.
In 2009 I chose to make a Christmas theme quilt & bought my fabric in January when it was on sale. I bought a lot, as I can always use it. And yes, I did have way to much fabric!!:D When making these once a month, when you are finished, you can pick a sashing fabric that will bring them all together. I love to experiment & try out all of the new patterns. It's really fun.
I will be anxious to see what everyone comes up with. Be sure to post your pictures as you get going!!
Thank you,
:D :D :D
