I only have 6 yards of the background fabric, so will order 4 to 5 more yards.
I'm almost finished with my second block.

I took my book to Staples and had them take off the spine and put it in a coil thing with a clear plastic cover and a black plastic protector for the back. Well worth the $6.00.
Yesterday, I bought some FQ packs that I think will be perfect for this. I see a lot of people using batiks, but I'm going to use blender type fabrics instead. All of the quilts will be beautiful no matter what fabrics they are made out of! :thumbup:
