I'm doing scrappy for the first time ever--it's really hard for us anal retentive types LOL! I take so long trying to "figure out" what works in a block that I can't imagine trying to figure out sashing and borders. OMG-another thing to obsess about!! I have a feeling I'm going to end up with about 100 potholders instead of a quilt!!

I am doing scrappy and I don't consider color when I do that. I just divide into light light, light, medium and dark.
I don't even think about border or sashings until I have them on the board and then will choose. I have done three blocks today.
I am working on #20 right now.

I am doing scrappy and trying to use similar colors as in the book. I am skipping # 7 right now. Next month we go to Pensacola for a Navy reunion. Hubby and his buddies are taking a day tour to Biloxi. I will not go as gambling to me is as exciting as watching paint dry. So I will stay at the hotel, room or poolside, and handpiece #7, and maybe another one like it. I love to hand piece. If I get bored I can always go own to the bar and pick up some old sailor that didn't go on the trip. (LOLOLOLOL) Quilting sounds better.

I'm skipping 7 for now, too. Well, I've got it in my hand piece basket to do while I'm watching tv with DH.
