    Start chopping. Your colors are great.

    That blue really pops out - I know you said it is more of a purple in real life but it seems sooo much brighter than the others.

    I'm also going to do a chop and sew - but have to finish up the other projects that are in line... and backing up... but I want to make one so badly! Maybe for August's quilting group I'll do it to show off to the others...

    Those colors are great I think you will like that blue when you finally get it together I have found that most of the time the color That seems little to bright is the one that brings it all together

    I don't know what a Chop and Sew is, but the fabrics are wonderful. Keep us posted on your progress.

    I personally would eschange the blue for a purple but if you like it then go for it. I always do the things my way and people are shocked with the way they turn out. Great colors

    The blue didn't come out well in the photo--it's actually a purple and darker than the color value in the photo. I'm about 3/4 down with the blocks. Will post picture when completed.

    I would have changed either 3 or 6 because there isn't much contrast between the two. BTW, I liked the blue/purple one.

    DoxieMom, just go for it. You will have a great quilt. Don't forget a few photos along the way.

    OOOOOOOOOOOH! Those are yummy. I do agree that maybe the blue is too bold, but I don't know your pattern???????

    Here are some pictures of my progress. I think I'm going to do it one more time about 1/3 of the way down from the top and ~ left to right.
