"I decided to swap the red and cream [muslin]. I think I like the red as the background color much better:"
Thank you QuiltnNan, I love this idea, think I'll do my blue and white this way. Another copycat!
Bless you for putting this in a format I can see. I'm not exactly computer savvy.

It really is alot of fun!

I just got back from the fabric store. They have a 60% coupon going [Mill End Textiles - fairly local and don't do online orders]. I got a full bolt [20yds] of 48" wide muslin for just over $1/yd!!!! On top of that, I used the gift card my DD gave me for Christmas. WooHoo!

"You're welcome, DakotaMaid. Will you use the blue for the background or the block pieces? What color blue? All the same color blue?"
I'm leaning toward the first one. Not sure, would like more of the color on the outside so am thinking, thinking. I'm using a royal blue, and white on white, all the same fabric. I let my daughter choose as it will be hers eventually. She is not a scrappy!!! LOL. She is also my biggest fan as she is not crafty or a sewer.
