    those look really nice together! I'm sure it will be a wonderful quilt. So much depends on fabric choice. Good job!

    img_0237.jpeg This resizing is driving me crazy. Updates are not helpful.

    I’m in. Here’s the choices. Thinking for light to use purple. Purchasing needed. Still considering.

    Pretty colors, I'm a sucker for purple, honestly. Love those fabrics! Hugs!

    Fun to see others choices. I have lots of smaller pieces, but not many 7/8” yd size in my stash, so I have a few different fabrics in my sashing green.

    Mine will be complete scrappy, though I've found that pulling bright reds and yellows out helps a lot. While those that go to light and dark are fine, the bright red and yellow don't seem to play well with the rest of the medium colors. I save them for controlled scrappy where I want red or yellow in specific locations.

    To me, Red and yellow do call attention to themselves. So I use them carefully or with total abandon.

    Yes, patricej moved it here for us.
    A few of us have chosen our fabrics and I have mine cut, and waiting for Xmas day for the 2nd clue.

    I picked out fabric yesterday, and have been cutting the scraps for the light,med and dark pieces. I went through my totes of "less than a fat quarter but more than a scrap" and have plenty for this. I don't consider these "scraps" as they are large enough to cut several pieces.
