The roosters are each slightly different but use the same colors in each. In the picture is just one of the roosters. I still need to find two "barn red" fabrics but the rest came from my stash. The colors in my kitchen are a med sage green, barn red and white so these are perfect colors to with the kitchen colors.
I will be cutting each rooster block down some, the outside edge of the blue border is 12-1/2" so I can trim down to whatever size the they need to be. Take care, Chris

Here's my focus fabric. My plan is to fussycut 12" vignettes of my favorite fishies.
Since my stash is quite limited, I get to go shopping for most of the other fabrics.

Thanks for the reminder! I'd forget my head if it wasn't attached some days (like today.)
Here are the other two that I will work in, then solids and tonals for everything else.

Chris, I love your focus fabric.
Sue, your fabric makes me want to go snorkeling, love it.
Here is a photo of what I am going to use for my focus print, it is rather a busy scene, I will fussy cut certain scenes. I am planning on using red as my main, then some greens, purples, golden yellow and browns for the rest. Many of them are batiks, yes, I am planning a wild quilt, lol. When I saw this fabric, I just had to have it and bought what was left on the blot, and been thinking and thinking about what to do with it, then Missy said "Mystery with 12.5'' blocks" and I thought I just have to use this baby.
As I gather the rest of my fabrics(have to get more yardage for some as I am planning on making the full size), I will post another photo of the whole set.
Missy, as per the other comment, I'll gladly be your helper if you let me into your secret :lol: :mrgreen: :XD:
Nah, I want to solve the mystery ;) :lol: :mrgreen:
