Thank you for step 2, Jane.
I have finished all of step 1, with Christmas design and also with the red, white and blue so I can use up more stash. I hit the panic button on my light color and ordered 6 years to fill-in, but hoping I don't have to use it in these two quilts. My light in the Christmas one is limited, but its a creme color or more snow than white, and the new piece is a bright white. Rather use it in a different Christmas quilt and not these two.
Figuring out how to place the circle and the nine patches now. Checking it more than twice with the directions. With 3 colors, it just uses 4 yards of background and I think I might just have that much of my light in the Christmas Quilt. If not, I might switch to my Kona Snow in my stash.
Good luck everyone. Ok, sorry you hit your knee on Mr. Ok's recliner. I know how much that hurt. I got a support that strapped on my knee from Therapy (in our Mercy Hospital) for about 6 weeks and use it on occasion when I bump my right knee again.
