    I think they look great together. You are lucky to have a stash.

    Good ideas Sharon. I like the first one the best, with beginning and ending pictures and chat in between. It could be our own Super Bowl of progress.

    i'm glad i found you, too! i gave the fabric to my husband to show my intention to make him a quilt and had this mystery quilt in mind! nice to have company! i haven't cut it yet. i'll probably be running a little behind you as my old sewing machine just fizzled on me so i'll be using my fw till i can either get a new machine (fingers crossed) or get my workhorse fixed. meanwhile, i have projects with deadlines to meet! don't want to disappoint any one! glad to have buddies to play with!! 8-)

    what fabrics did you chose? i still need to find a copy of the magazine. does the beginning instructions sound like this will be a traditional pattern?

    I really want to do this with you all. I will look in my stash and see what I can come up with, I have the magazine and pulled it to look at again after this thread was posted. Would love to see the fabrics you all are using.
