I think it would be fun to try an easy challenge. Here's what I'm proposing:
While at Intown for the meetup, we each go upstairs and pick out a very favorite fabric and buy two yards. We come back downstairs, cut it up so everybody gets some of each and then make something interesting from those fabrics plus one solid. Photos due on the board by September 1. The variety would be so much fun!!!!!! (We can see how many of us want to participate and perhaps buy less fabric, it just depends....)
