I figure using 1-3 different background colors, pending how much I will need. I have a few questions? Did we decide on how many blocks we plan to complete in a months time?

In the mean time, I will work on 2 projects I need to get done by my mid month for guild meeting. And hopefully get my BHMQ = Grassy Creek blocks together before I really get into this project.

Hi happylab, welcome - very happy to have you join us all !
From answers and comments from the other ladies, I will start the first months blocks next Saturday 13th March and I will post two blocks for each week of the month. So eight blocks in all and then - depending on everyone's thoughts, go from there. If it is felt you would like a week off that is fine and we can have a rest week between the next group of blocks - just first few tentative steps and certainly no pressure. I am happy to follow with all your ideas ! Please post photos of the blocks when you have made them, we would to see them !

I'm ready! Bobbins filled, new blade in the rotary cutter. Nice tote to keep all the fabrics, looking forward to the ride.

Brilliant ! Hope you have a great time. We are still in lockdown here in the YK and I am missing my groups so much !

Ready....I bought a new cutting mat since I recall what the Sylvia Sampler did to my old one. Lol... All organized and ready. Will try to keep up and I may work ahead...just depends on my life at the time. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s blocks and creations!

happylab....so glad to see you jumping in...

Spending this week quilting another sampler so that I can devote some time to Harriet next week. Thanks for organizing this, Dotty!

I opted to go with the digital version of the book for now and I’m hoping it will work for me! I don’t have a fabric color theme or plan! I figure this will just be some me time in the evenings after teaching all day and a quick break from fostering two new additions to our house. I am excited to start and see all the blocks!
