So, here's my fabric choices. 4 of the 6 came from my stash, but I originally had wanted to do blues and greens. Your background does not have to be so 'off-whit-ish'. Mine is a pale creamy/pinky/yellowy batik.I've seen it with an aqua background or otherwise.
I am not a photographer, so the colours are not totally accurate. Red-white-blue might be nice or you could do a Christmas themed one.

I have never done one either, I would be a little afraid that I would't like it when finished, and wasted my fabric.

Yohooooo, Terrie! Rosemary (the one who got 'Highly Recommended' for her Miniature quilt at FoQ) very gently twisted my arm, and gave me the fabric requirement list. Sooooo, count me on!

It's OVER! Flattened me silly that the soles of my feet and even my eye lashes hurt - but it's gone! 24-hour something BAD!

I feel good - and today is my 18-year transplant anniversary! Thanks, y'all for signing your donor cards and telling your families your thoughts on the subject.

Wendy, thanks for the twist on Lorchen's arm! I should also try to post my pic of fabrics, but will wait until my morning over here, so maybe the light will be better. (not sure I like one of my colours, though....well, I like it, but not sure it 'goes')

I'll do a roll call on here but will send all the clues privately via email.
Not too late to join.

Get better soon Terrie lots of rest for you. Rosemary would like me to post her fabrics which I'll do in the morning and Lochen has had her arm twisted up her back and will be joining in. Sounds like you've got a good group here Terrie

Terrie, hope you get to feeling better soon. I think you have my name on the list. I will check my stash. I know I have some things that will work. Thanks for doing this for us.

The party's over, and I think I have the flu, so just hold on for those clues!

Hey, that rhymes!

I'm in!

Thanks Terrie.

Clue #1
Besides the fabric requirements that I have posted on this topic, here's another bit of info for those of you on the fence.

This mystery has NO applique and is a MEDALLION type quilt., So ,basically you can do how much you want, how much you have time for, or until your fabric runs out. The biggest possible size, unless you go bonkers and add extra borders is about 92" by 92". Personally, I think even just the central block is nice. Just saying...

Still collecting names...

Wish I could join in, too, but time is just to lacking right now. But I'll be joining vicariously so I hope everyone shares their progress along the way!

I'm in - totally intrigued now - sending you message...

Terrie and Rosemary,
I agree with Judy. I'm having a difficult time just picking by value. First I'm thinking color family, then I think all batiks, then I think I'll go with Kaffe looking fabrics, and then I just go do something else!! I don't usually have a problem picking fabrics at all, but this time I could really use a kick in the tush!
Thanks ladies,
Luann

Show your fabric choices. It might help others to decide to join in.

Ok, I surrender. I have found 4 yards of a fabric that will do as a dark main and 2 metres of something that might work as the med dark (but would probably be better as the medium). Was thinking of trying to have a very dark/black background 'a la Ritzy' but would need to check out what looks ok with what I have already. This could be fun.
