QuiltingNinaSue, you're going to make a Christmas quilt! I was tempted to do mine in that way, I'll be paying attention to your advances (just in case I decide to make one like yours in the future).
Givio, great variety in your fabrics, I like them a lot.
I'm in doubt with my own fabrics. I have decided that my chains and circles will be most on solids (well, not real solids but prints that read as solids). I wanted to do mine all from stash/scraps, but I'm lacking some colors... this is what I have:

But I've been hoarding for some time a layer cake of 'Hello Darling' (Bonnie & Camille for Moda Fabric) that has a great variety and some of the prints fit perfectly my purposes. Now I don't know what to do: if I open the package and only use some of the fabrics, maybe in the future I'll don't have enough of this line for a complet project (this means more scraps). Besides this, all the fabrics I'm using at the moment in my project are washed, and I'm not sure if it's a good idea to mixt washed and unwashed fabrics in the same quilt.
On the other hand, they are lovely and I think they would look fantastic. They are exactly the tones I like for my Burgoyne Surrounded (plenty of reds, aquas, greens, oranges and pinks... it even contains great 'low volumes' that I can use, and they are so different of my 'old lady florals' that I think they would really add a bit of 'spice').
What would you do?
By the way, yesterday was a holiday in Spain and I managed to sew my third block (I wish I have a holiday every week!):
