FabStripper, people are starting all the time. We have members who are not very far along at all. Go ahead and post your questions, progress and comments right along with the rest of us. For the handful of nearly finished ones you have seen posted, there are dozens more that aren't ready for their photos yet!

My Allietare is set aside for right now, while I get some other things of higher priority done. Then I will be right back at it, trying to get my blocks made and put together. FabStripper will probably beat me...

FabStripper --- make sure you download all of the clues from Bonnie's blog before the end of this week. She will be taking it down on February 1. If you don't save it now while it's free to all of us, you will have to purchase the pattern later.

FabStripper. although the instructions and cutting might look a little daunting, you would be delighted with the outcome.

joesmom... your first row looks great and bluebonnets, love your quilt. You both have inspired me to keep plugging along on this project... I love how everyone's quilts look. I'm not sure about a scalloped border but will worry about it when I get there. : )

These are some pretty quilts ladies! I have my borders cut and ready to sew, but I have been waylaid with a chest cold, no energy to sew...

Thank you all for the encouraging words. I did get all the instructions and made a note to go back and read post# 1118 on step# 5. I'm sure that will make sense when I get that far along. Lol. I'm going to get my hair done tomorrow and will have my friend take me to get the paint cards and start looking at my scraps and stash. I really like the looks of all of these and hope my chemo fog will lift and I can get this going fast.

Sounds like the motivation is definitely there!

Thanks for pointing out that tip FabStripper. I will be there soon. If you don't want to look it up, you are supposed to press toward the gray triangle when sewing the neutral rectangles.
And thanks you Miss Rita for telling us the deadline to print out the clues. I just realized I don't have clue 4 printed out yet. I am saving that clue to do after I finish with 5.

Bluebonnet, love your borders and the arrangement. I use one piece of red plaid for the setting triangles along the side, now I wished I hadn't as I like how your 1st red border/sash seems to blend with setting triangles and I don't have anymore of the plaid fabric to do the same. Was the grey fabric from the same collection as your gold as it looks like it to me. So far I haven't had to purchase any fabrics and I've made a bucket load of goofs. Wanted to add 2 more rows but hadn't read where the blocks were put on point. That made it way too large so back to original pattern but at least I won't have to cut as many little grey triangles now.
