Okay - I choose something floral - it is from Moda's Collection for a Cause heritage range...
I spent nearly 2 hours at the quilt shop with my 4 year old in tow and kept coming back to this fabric - I was looking at oriental and batik but the orientals I felt were too dark and the batiks were too pink. After going back and forth I decided on the fabric I loved most. Now I am going to start cutting!!!! Woo Hoo!

Ooooo! Pretty! I do like your choice. You did good!
I have my "quilt-in-a-box" and ready to go now. Did all the slicing and dicing and finished the marking this morning. Come on New Years Day!

I work New Years day and I am unable to go out and buy the fabric for the mystery quilt right now, but I sure wish I was doing it! You gals make it sound like such fun and I am bummed I won't be able to participate.

I have just finished cutting it all out and I think those 6.5" x 60" will be the borders - I cut 4, it said in the instructions. I am thinking about the "fan" reference- the mystery is called a "BIG FAN" I wonder if we will be making a fan type block... and the bias tape or ric rac will be create a stain glass effect - both techniques I havent tried before. Yes - it is exciting!!!!

Tiffany, how unfair that someone expects you to work when you should be playing with us! I know, Mama always said, "Life's not fair!" but it's just not right! We'll be missing you!

After reading the instructions at the end about the bias; I read that it will be raw edge so I am going to make mine now so that it will have finished edges. I feel my fabric is too elegant to have raw edges. That sure sounds snootie....I promise I am far from that! Barefoot, jeans and T-Shirt are my style.
