    I found a couple collections at Marcus fabrics that I would really like to use for this quilt. Problem is they
    don't come out until later in the spring. So right now I am making a couple sample blocks to try Lynn
    and Barbara's techniques but won't actually begin until about June. So I plan to do Dee's Kona Cotton BOM
    in the mean time. Here are a couple pics of the fabrics I plan to use for Laurel Ridge. HelenW

      I think your quilt will be pretty with these colors, (as all of your quilts are!)

      Lynnanne, So nice to have you back on the forum, it has been a while. Are you doing Laurel Ridge?
      I plan to do the Kona Cotton BOM with Dee Christopher (Live) while waiting for the Marcus collections that
      I want to use to be manufactured. I am doing the 18 inch blocks in Kona Cotton as 6 inch blocks.
      Don't need another larger quilt. Should be fun. Just using stash scraps not Kona Cotton. Are you still in Italy? HelenW

    Yeah! Month 1 is done, trimmed and put away. Like the tips and advice from both Lynn and Barb.

      Well I finished on day 5 - somehow I made twice as many as requested!.
      I guess I mis-read something. Once I discovered my mistake I decided that I'd go ahead and finish them - hoping that I could substitute the extras for other places in the quilt. It looks like that might work out.
      I'm happy to put it away for awhile while I quilt my "Rugged Coast" quilt. (A bit more my normal style)

      Thank you all for sharing, I enjoy looking at everyone's work.

        I plan to use fabrics from my stash, going for a scrappy look. I have not yet managed to finish a BOM within the planned timeframe, but that does not mean I do not plan to finish the quilt. Let's see how long I can keep up for this one

          Good idea Helen to make a small quilt! I did both Color My World and Homeward Bound 60 and 50% smaller. I’m trying to do this new BOM in the original size because I want to make a bedspread. Yes, I’m still in Italy and am using fabrics I already have and some that I was able to find here. Lynn

            Month 1 blocks done! I love the various golds in the Grandmother quilt, but will be using batiks with a summer feel. And there will be flamingos.
