I'm excited! Using scrappy blues from my stash but probably need to go get some more lights/neutrals.

I am late getting started, just ordered the alternate color way. After reading the forum found out there will be no instructions other than for the blue. I am ok with it now, however I am trying to figure out if I should use the 3/4 yard pieces as my background and when to use the 1/4 pieces. Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you

Binah, I'll check with the two Sunday Sew and Sews who have the Crystal Farms kit, to see what amounts of light fabric is in the kit. I'll get back to you with suggestions then.

Each month I will post photos of which fabrics they chose for that month's blocks. It is such a beautiful fabric line.

Where can I find a list of fabrics and number to use for the second color way of this quilt? I have the fabric kit, but don't know which fabrics to use where!

There is not a list for the Crystal Farms kit. Place the fabrics as they please you. Each month I will show blocks made by two of the Sunday Sew and Sews for inspiration. I hope everyone using this kit will share their blocks in the Show and Tell topic. There is no wrong way to use this fabric--pick light/medium/darks for contrast between pieces, everything goes.
