I have cut the required pieces in half. I have no use for a full-size quilt. The half size is more manageable for me. I'm not a pink fan. So, I've used red instead of pink. I hope it's okay. I noticed on the share blog that a lot of people have used their own colors, and they have nothing to do with either pink or yellow or whatever other color you don't like. The only problem I have with mystery quilts is you don't really know what it's going to look like at the end. Just have to kind of go to it one step at a time. We have another one coming out tomorrow. I've finished Step 1, and just starting Step 2. This is not a speed contest, and I can print out the instructions and get to Step 3 when I finish Step 2. It's not going to be done by Christmas. That's for sure. So, I'll make it my winter project.
