Hi all, this is my first time here, I am finally thinking of BOM. I have everything printed off and in a nice notebook! I even bought the background fabric. Then it looked too overwhelming and I did two convergence quilts instead! I promise to start soon. Big projects tend to scare me, but with all of you to talk with, maybe this one will get finished......or at least started!

Joan... do it! Join in the FUN!
Pick your background and star fabric 1st. Choose something that will show off your work. (very light or dark works best)
While you are sewing the stars imagine what you want to do next. Leaves are easy, they are generally green. Prepare the stems and leaves.... Now ya have that ready to sew.
To pick out vase and flower colors I'm using a beautiful multicolored fabric as a focus fabric to pull my colors from. You can also use the focus fabric it in borders too. It will give the quilt the illusion that it was all designed in that colorway.
It's all just a lot of tiny steps. Don't think you have to do it all at once. THAT would be overwhelming!
