On to step 5! Whew-hoo! This is using up tons of my dark scraps - that is a good thing. Hope to get them so used up that there is a hole in my stash. (my goal, of course is to not buy!) I'm all caught up with the previous steps except trimming step 4 to size now that they are all sewn. Thanx to football, I get my own personal time to sew!

I am very pleased with the way this is turning out.
Wow... so sunny and happy looking. Great use of color!

Thanks for the link... that looks great! I will definitely be getting some.

I know what that kind of babysitting is. I have to babysit the twin girls tomorrow by myself. When one is fed the other ones starts. If you finally get one to sleep and other one is up. I think I am getting to old for this. But they are so cute when they goo and gah, and coo. I know they will be no sewing until maybe Sunday.

You would use not your background. If your background is pink, use the blue. The white is Bonnie's background, clear as mud?

Candi, which do you think would look better pink or blue for the background. My main color is purple , with pink and blue and yellow strings.
