I saved the printer friendly page in a pdf file.
My printer just loves to use up the ink even when it's off!
I have such a long list of quilts I want to make I'm sure I won't be making more than one also.

I've decided to finish sewing my pinks to my neutrals before breaking out the greens.
nancysp, how nice that the MQ has led to a simplified Christmas for you. I think it must be a blessing to many people in many different ways. It has certainly made this year special for me.

I don't know why now, but my seam is a little too scant. Luckily, I only did a tester block and checked, but I'll need to try being a tiny bit more generous with my seams and check again to be sure I'm accurate. I'm so glad this will be a fairly easy clue (once I get my seam just right). Bonnie really is helpful at encouraging accuracy!

I have just sewn four strips together for clue 2, so am way behind. But I am so glad to see this clue appears to be an easy one. Strip sewing -- that's the way to go.
I hope to get at least part of part 2 done this evening and then will begin clue 3 on Sunday. That way I'll at least have some of each done.

Just printed off clue 3 and off to work. Can't wait to get home and start. My greens look a little more yellow than Bonnie's and I now wish my neutrals were white rather than cream colored for the backgrounds. I'm sure it will all be fine but I so love her colors and cute white backed neutrals.

Excited! Not only will I get to finally cut my greens, I also have a 3 day weekend!! Wahoo.
first step ... catch up and finish clue 2 before I allow myself to touch the greens. but they're all sitting there looking at me!!

Alva stitcher, so sorry for your loss. Sewing is wonderful therapy, so hang in there.
I'm doing like Bonnie suggested at the start & starting each clue but then moving on when the next is posted. I have all of 1 & 2 cut, enough sewn to be comfortable with the clue. Then I write myself a note to tell me where I stopped & how many I have left to make.
I save the clues on the computer & only print off a few pages that give specifics for the clue.

Quick question: what color thread are you using for the GIMQ? Same color in the bobbin and top? I think I am going to go with off white/beige. (Yes, you are all right...I haven't started ANY of the blocks yet!) Thanks.
