Can't help you with a timer but I think I read that last year she posted the first clue as 12:01 am. Most likely EST.

Got most of my fabric today! Still need to decide if my neutral will be white or cream. I'm using all solids from tthe new American Made line-the colours are great. Gotta figure out how to include a picture!

My daughter has an app on her phone that does count downs. She like to count down to big events- like her birthday, christmas, big events like a concert (we went to see one direction in October).

Well, I'm not as adventurous as most of you, I chose single cloth for each color. Here's mine.

Cindy, I think it will come out outstanding. Really, there isn't anything that doesn't work with Bonnies patterns :)

I have finally caught back up with all the posts. Everyone's picks look awesome! I am starting to get a little impatient for the mystery to begin.... It's making me second guess my color choices. I went for camo, but really like these original colors. Choices, choices lol

I ordered more fabric today. At 5bucks a yard, or less, it' no longer too expensive to make a quilt.
