I played in the first go around here on the QB. I picked a theme rather than a color so was able to use all colors. I tied it together with the binding. I have forgotten just what I did with the quilt.....I know I finished it and it was fun......doing it with the group was great. Lots of good suggestions and we all shared what we were doing as we went along. There was a coordinator and so we all worked on the same blocks every month.....I think we did two a week....don't remember, but I do remember it was fun! Good luck to you in whatever you decide to do. I strongly suggest doing this with a group.
