Loving the finches!! (Although at first glance I thought they were black cap chickadees, then I saw the other markings) Hope that's for the 2 month group!!
I also am curious what other color you have in mind to go with them.

I just went outside to check my purple hellebores and sure enough, one plant has 4 flowers already. Weird!
I'm waiting for my hellebores to start their annual bloom. My new white ones were supposed to bloom in November but I think our freakishly weird weather messed with them. Their foliage is beautiful so I'll hope for next year. My purples will be out in late January or February. Always a surprise to see the first ones pop up in the gloom of the winter.

Givio, congrats on the baby! Hope all went well with the birth.
At least some of those birdies look like parakeets to me. I thought as I posted it, "some of these are finches". LOL. The color didn't come across right. The fabric is actually a melon color. Kass, I suppose men like birds too? But the pinky color might put a man off
. I think I am going to ask for black, or very dark charcoal, with white as a second option, and if a third color is needed, a little of the paler pink is ok. And made for an adult, so no kid's prints or kid's appliques. Maybe for the 2 month group...
Asparagus was green. Gives such a lovely flavor to things. I made a squash and asparagus casserole at Thanksgiving.

I noticed some of your names on the Bonnie Hunter thread. I'd forgotten how much I like the coral/melon colors. I bought a few fat quarters but I'm not sure I can work in the mystery with my (way too many) UFO's.

If a simple stripe (same pattern from left to right and right to left) w/ someone's name winds up in someones squishy, someone else might wind up w/ a certain striped block. lol lol lol

Subtle. Very subtle.
Reminder, you may designate a recipient for a packet. If all your F8s are the same, do not do this. However, if there is a special full size F8 (remember all primary fabrics are to be no smaller than 18x10) you mean for a certain Boomer to receive, please mark the packet clearly. And by that I mean make it very noticeable. If you dont make it stand out from all the others, it will simply be tossed into the next open packet.

Under 11 hours folks! Signups close in under 11 hours.
I'm ready to start. All my supplies are prepped. My sorting room has been vacated by my son, my database is as set as it can be st this stage, and I'm itching to get this one going!
Come on! Any last minute takers for the two month group? Jump on in!
