Fingers crossed that I like the end result (I haven't had much luck doing that in the past).
In the meantime, I've pulled my colours (red, purple, green, orange) but I'm switching up the order just to be different
kristaka - your colors sound wonderful - I love purple and orange together but I am worried about her single fabric comment too.
Also, when she talked about those who are only using 1 piece for the background she said, "sure you can but it won't be as fun" and "we're going to do some really fun stuff with the neutrals" so now just when I was set on only using ONE fabric for each color I am re-thinking and wondering if I should go all in on scrappy.
I've done many scrap quilts and I love them but sometimes just using 1 fabric is easier and less stressful for me... maybe stressful is the wrong word - I get so wrapped up in going through my 2" square bin - or what ever size - that I spend more time hunting fabric than sewing it.
On the other hand, the only other projects going right now are a leader/ender log cabin and a Notre Dame T-shirt quilt so.... maybe I'll go back through my stash and see if I can scrap things up a bit.
Only 2 more sleeps until Clue 1.
