It will be so much fun to do this together, well kind of. I'm not sewing full time either, I still have a pile of UFO's to which I'll contribute more and more. I think I will go scrappy with this one, like most of my quilts.
Thanks for the compliment about my stash, I don't consider it that great, it's just what I like and have and I decided I won't purchase new fabrics. Well, not today anyway.....hahahahahaaaa.
Can't wait to receive my book, I have no idea what I'm getting into......but I love the finished quilt!
