Thank you so much Judy for your help, I think I might just try and join in on this if for some reason I can't keep up then I suppose I can just work on them at my own pace. So sign me up to. Thanks again.

Question - I have never done a BOM and it does sound like fun. I'm a fairly new quilter and think it would be nice to learn some different blocks. I read thru all the discussion and pictures last night and loved them all. I decided I'd like to get coordinating fabric to use all year for all the different blocks and was trying to decide what colors I'd want. Well, I got the answer - I sat behind a woman this morning in church and she had on a blazer made with 4 colors and I just loved it - decision made. Now my question is - approximately how much of each of 4 fabrics would I buy to feel safe in having enough for 12 blocks.
Thanks for your help. Can't wait to start.

Hi PghPat
Your quilt will probably always be known as your "blazer" quilt. I have done a similar thing by taking a combination of colors from a painting I liked. I figure that others are more experienced at choosing colors and I will take advantage of their eye.

Decide how many blocks you are going to do, just the twelve or are you going to add more blocks to make the quilt bigger.
Then realistically figure out how much you will use for each block. You don't have to know the exact block names to figure this out, I would think most will use about the same amount of each fabric, give or take a bit. Then buy your fabric being generous with amounts purchased. The leftovers when the quilt is finished will be part of your growing stash. That's what I do anyway. Hope this helps.
