    Missy :
    Here are some of my fabrics. What other colors do you think?
    I also have a lime green to use.
    I have enough of the black flowers, blue and pink to do the 4 1/2 yds. sections - Which should I use?

    Which focus should you use? Focus wise, I would let the daughter use the flowers with the cats and you use the cats. Or which colors do you think you should use? Blues,greens,yellows,purples,browns a black and keep the baby floral it's cute!! You can use almost any of those and you can pick a color you would like to see more, ie the blue.. pick a shade darker/lighter and use it in there too! That quilt will be amazing.. I have to say EVERYONE's quilt will be the choices you have all made are totally awesome!! You guys are doing a great job! (yeah Lori.. I know I had you change a few things.. LOL Just teasing you!!) Hugs for everyone and we have 2 more days til clue #1~ IS anyone excited!? :)

    Missy

    I would use one focus and my duaghter the other if we can not use them in the same quilt.
    Missy - I may be late in starting as I need to go and buy more material - I will post all material and you can help me pick. I promise not to look ahead into the clules.

    I keep looking at the fabric choices and I so wanna play. Unless I finish the quilt I am currently on, nothing else gets done. Can't wait to see them all come together!

    I can tell you have the first fabric req. list that didn't have the changes I made! YIKES.. Remember I said change a few things around a little bit ago? Tell you what .. so everyone can be on the same page.. go to the blog. Just for easiness sake at the moment.
    http://mysimystery.wordpress.com/ and make sure you have the RIGHT PAGES!!!

    Give me a few hours and I'll get to the fabric. Have to get my hubby out of the house and off to work!! YEAH! LOL
