I have this ruler:

I think these both will probably work, but we might have to pay attention to the directions. Like for example whether the rulers are marked with finished or unfinished sizes and adjust accordingly.

I have lots of aqua and aqua/green. I also think I can come up with the coral or warmy pinky. I don't have much peach. And neutrals I've been collecting. What I'm really missing in my stash is brown. I only have one brown that I would consider a dark. I do have lots of charcoal, but with the other colors being on the 'warm' side, I'm afraid that charcoal will be too cool, especially with warm neutrals. I bought a couple cream on cream neutrals last week that I was hoping to use in the project. I need to make some fabric pulls and play with it. But I'm thinking I'll need to buy some more brown.

I'm planning on make a small version so 1/2 of the units.

Am I the only one who thinks that Bonnie's color choices feel like southwest? It reminds me of Native American jewelry and blankets and the desert with the colorful sunrises and sunsets.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's projects as I won't be joining in this time. I will be downloading the directions if I decide to make this sometime in the future.

Who is going to run the thread? It has to be approved and put in the right section.

I like your corals, Battle Axe, lovely fabrics!

I hadn't thought of Bonnie's colors like that, pennycandy. Very interesting! I love how she chose a place in the USA as her inspiration this year. America is a beautiful country!

Battle Axe, those fabrics are gorgeous! I think of coral as being a pinkish peach color.

I've stolen some neutrals from my Double Delight stash, so I'm all set except for beefing up my coral and aqua a bit.

I wrote to the admins yesterday requesting permission to start the new thread; I don't know how long it usually takes to hear back from them. Once we have permission, anyone who likes can start the thread, and I think it will pretty much run itself from that point on.

I just PMed Podunk Princess and asked her if she would take the honors of leading us again on this MQ, as she has done the past few years. I can't wait to get started!!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]583248[/ATTACH]Can I have opinions on my fabric please? I find brown extremely hard to work with. I actually like the 2 bigger pieces at the bottom, but they don’t seem to have quite enough warmth to match the paint chip. I also don’t have enough of just those 2, so I am thinking of using that smaller square as the 3rd. The horizontal browns at the top are my other choices. Thanks for your input!

Oh! Colors I LOVE. I love them so much, it's about what I used for last year instead of the ones Bonnie used LOL!!

I already have rulers that do the job of the essential triangle, and since I really dislike the folded corner method (hate the waste) I won't be buying any rulers this year.

Now to go spend some quality time with my stash.

I found it interesting that Bonnie said she dug deep and pulled out some 1970's fabric for her chocolate. I have an over abundance of chocolate, and most I got from buying out my older sister's stash (she's not sewn in 30 years) - all stuff she bought back in the 70's.

I've been looking more at what Bonnie selected. I think I "overthink" and end up getting too narrow in my selections. End up with a bunch of fabrics that read about the same from a distance. I've got to try harder to stay out of that box.
