Hoping, hoping, hoping that I have enough background fabric in my stash. This NO BUY FABRIC diet is frustrating at times. ;)

Will fat quarters work rather than 1/8 yard cuts?

I think I am going to make the brown one. It reminds me of chocolate and cloudless blue sky. Both of which sound great to me now.

My choice totally depends on my solids stash. *S*

I'm leaning toward pink. Thanks for the supply list!

My husband has decided that I should do the grey and make it for him. So that is the plan. Fabric has been purchased. Thanks for the list, really looking forward to this.

I am excited cuz I just ordered my solid fabrics. I'm going for a turquoise color theme to hang on the wall and remind us of the ocean. Yippee!

I am doing the orange --- it is way different than my normal fabric. I am looking forward to this. Thanks for organizing this!

I think I'm going join and make a baby quilt for a co-worker. But I I'm going to try a brown background with pink columns rather than blue. I'm always shocked at how many light-colored, stain-magnet baby quilts I see. I want this to hide the mess!

I am going to make this as a 30th birthday gift for a great friend. I am going to try and make it 4x the size so I hope it works.

Will FQ work instead of 1/8 yards? I have a small collection of solids in FQ - thanks!!

Hi I just joined the group for the quilt-along. I want to put the button for the quilt-along on my blog but I didn't see the code. Where can I get it. I can't wait to begin this project.
