    Done! When I laid this out wasn't to concerned about like going next to light. Doubt very much that they will be next to each other in the final quilt. Used five different fabrics for both the pink and the aqua. I think it's enough to give a kind of controlled scrappy vibe.

    You do need and account w/ Flicker, Pinterest or your own blog if you want to post your own progress on Bonnie's site.
    I'm still gathering fabric-and waffling between pinks or reds.
    Thank you for posting that. I love to see what others are doing.
    There is one picture where someone used green instead of pink with the blue. Wonder what she will use when it's time to do green! Fun.

    Emma, looking good. I like the pattern of the black & yellow together because it looks like the tile floor, but you're right, it probably won't turn out that way. You're up early, sewing away.

    Thanks! I ended up pressing mine open so they would lay more flat.

    Love seeing everyone's pictures! The more I see the more I want to join in. I'm covered in homemade starch goo and flannel fuzz at the moment. One rag quilt done and two more to go before Christmas. I'm saving the clues as they come out for future reference.

    My finally got around to putting a few blocks together. I'm going as scrappy as my prints will allow.
