Isn't the idea to have blocks with a common theme, but with creativity from all over the place? I will be happy with whatever I get. If I over-think it, I will become so overwhelmed that I won't be able to make a decision at all, but I think it is supposed to be fun. If there are going to be specifics about shades and prints, etc., someone better speak up fast. lol

Hey Brenda. Was Carrie really 174 when she died? :mrgreen:

I agree...That's always my problem. I'm over thinking everything and that I can't get anything done. Let's just do what it says and do, a Red, White & Blue swap. It's going to look awesome whatever type of colors they are anyhow because we are All Awesome People.

As long as the fabrics read red, white, and blue you are free to use them.

double post :oops:
