Audsgirl, I hope we will see a photo of your top!
Those tote bags are adorable, LOL!
I have all my fabrics chosen for 'Roll, Roll Cotton Boll'. My plan is to work on it slowly and finish the top by the time the next mystery is announced. I'm not even afraid of the 600 HSTs because I learned about the paper method!
Lisa, it looks fabulous! What a nice fabric for your backing. It really ties in with the Italian theme of the quilt. How much yardage do you think it will need? I bought 5 1/2 yards of a fabric on sale at my favorite quilt shop. I know it won't be all that I need, so I will have to come up with a plan for extending it. My design wall isn't big enough and I don't have any floor space large enough for a photo, so I have no idea when I'll be able to post a picture. I am just dreading doing the quilting.
