    Ooooohhhh!!! One at a time, please!! Us full time employed people have a hard enough time doing one pattern.
    Yes, I know what you mean about full time work - it does get in the way of what we want to do.

    Do you mean on-point? I think that would be fun!!
    Yes, I mean 0n-point. Didn't know what it was called. And if they are only 6 inch finished blocks, we could have a nice variety of blocks.

    Thanks for keeping track of all our ideas. I think those dates are good, and there is good spacing between them.

    I like the spring idea but would like at least a 3rd color besides the lavender and green...like...pink or something that makes me think of flowers starting to blossom :)

    I'd love these except I'd like a 9" block! ;)
    I have decided 12" is to big and 6" to small!
    :-D

    It seems limiting to have just two spring colors. I'd vote for a general palate of spring!
