Im glad Im not the only crazy one!
I stuck with the basic colors on the pattern for the lst one....see how it comes out then I might go to brighter colors. Ive got all the Walls of Jericho blocks cut out. I chose to start on page 2 and just cut out each section instead of cutting out ALL on page one. I didnt include the white in the picture...the fabric is not batik but more like "stone" design....Id LOVE to see pictures of the progress on your alls!!! Mine is light grey, dark grey and black..
