OK, I've subscribed to the thread...read the directions about 10 times...read every post since the beginning......waffled back and forth at least 20 times. I think I am now ready to commit to this trip. Where's the dieters car?

I put together all of our clues on the fabric we need. Judy told us to gather a mixture of scraps to use then she told us:
"You could even use leftover charms and they will be cut down a bit for our needs. Pick a good range of light, medium and dark. You’ll need about 55-60 different charms or it would not be a problem if you have some duplicates of the scraps. Pick some extras in case you don’t like the way they assemble."
Fabric A – 18” WOF OR You can use 2 identical fat quarters for A.
Fabric B – 3/4 yard (need more if you want binding to blend with topper) More about finishing during week 5
"... don't cut anything yet. You won't be using 5" squares, I just mentioned that you could use leftover charms."
"I'll just say -- if you set aside about a 4-1/2 to 5" piece you will be able to cut out what you need."
",,, remember what I said: A is sashing, B will be very prominent."

I've had a look through my fabric, and so far have picked a couple of options.
I hope one of these sets will work ok (fabric A on the left, B on the right in both photos).
I'd prefer to go for more of a lap quilt size - hope I have enough of the fabrics for this!

What can I contribute- how about a breakfast ball.
A treat for our family has always been Olle ballens. Grandma made them for special occasions.
Both my Grandma's made them one said it was a Dutch treat the other a Swedish treat. Only difference I can tell is that one had apple pieces besides the raisons in them. I just loved them.

Maybe you can come up with some scrap pieces to make up the difference. Would be a shame not to join in.
