    thought i had 7 or 8 fabrics that all went together to make a boy quilt, and discovered only one was more than a yard! so quick trip out to get 2 new fabrics. the "light" fabric is a farm vehicles block on white bkgrd. the dark is green on green dots, and the medium is yellow. i may sash with either green or red. i never use white! if my fabrics' values are off, but the contrast is there will that still give the effect we're looking for? i think my tractor, etc, print makes the most sense as a focal fabric if there is one. i'll take a picture tomorrow, dh is sound asleep beside me. you know why they say " SOUND ASLEEP"? it's all the sounds they make while sleeping! snoring and the etceteras men are famous for!

    Good morning to all. The train ride is a little bumpy for me. I have company this weekend so I haven't made my blocks. I don't know what WFO means and I couldn't find a clue. So with that said I don't have a clue LOL. I am going to start my blocks later today. I hope you all have wonderful Sunday.

    Delphina I believe it is WOF not WFO. It means cut your fabrics width of fabric or from selvedge to selvedge I have not even picked fabrics for this mystery but am enjoying everyone else's work

    Here's [ATTACH=CONFIG]565748[/ATTACH]my fabric selection. The top fabric will be my extra boarder. I'm cutting out my stripes after I post this. I'm post my 4-patches next week.

    Wow, Belfrybat I love your colors and the brightness! I haven't started my 4 patches yet and now wonder if my colors are going to be too bland. Besides I'm still struggling and vacillating over the borders on the BH mystery quilt. One challenge at a time today.
