    I've made two of these type of quilts with great results......didn't do fancy, but learned that almost any combination using contrasting colors is dynamite! I have used batiks and blenders mostly.....
    Yes, the initial thread has the link to all 10 patterns. And each month I will post it again if people want me to. You are correct that just about any color combination looks fantastic.

    Mariposa, Linynp, & Patticake Welcome!
    So glad you'll be quilting along with us. These patterns are great for stash busting and scrappy. But also look great in a classic two or three colors as shown in the video Beauty Secrets. I have pulled all my batiks (probably 15-20 different pieces) and a few blenders.

    SulaBug, your block is great! I just made a decision I'm going to finish my Sylvia blocks first before I start this project. I only (or still) have 33 blocks to go. So if you see a block here from me..........LOL kick me in the behind. I hope I can keep my hands off of the batiks I ordered last week so I can use them for the NYB!

    Giving this a lot of thought !!!! I have an extra large box of batiks and just can't decide what to do with them. Maybe this is the quilt I should make.
    It also coincides with the Pony Club sew along finishing.
    If you see blocks from me you will know I am in...

    I'm in too.
    Ohhhh noooooo. Doing a NYB has been on my bucket list. I have been collecting fabrics for a few years.
    I am also collecting reds to do a Double wedding ring.
    So there is only one thing to do, which is get started on that bucket list.
