    Love the teaser/intro posts 🙂 Definitely keeping my excitement at max level even though I can't get started quite yet 🙂

    Do I spy Nancy Drew making an appearance in your blue block there? I wondered when you'd get that girl working for you!

    Ehh what was htat about starting aroudn September 12th when school starts again? did they move the holiadys? (or do I remember wrong?)
    Ok no matter what colour theory says – purple can be a very warm colour and yellow can be freakishly cold … so no matter what the brain trust says my guts say different and in that case I'm absolutley with them.
    I'm thinking of option 6.1

    And thanks for the capuccino pressure reference – saved my a trip (ok a click and some searhc word typing) to the dictionary.

    But off I go to get the important stuff out of the way to have time for pleasure ..

    Yellow can drive me crazy any time, lol. I can only accept it while used with the other rainbow colors.

    Well, I did some slab blocks a couple of months ago – a la Crazy Mom Quilts. I sent those off for the quilts for the Southern Alberta flood victims but I loved the all one color blocks so I'm thinking I'm going to be going with Option 1. And I love the crisp look of white so that would be my first choice on sashing.

    I've gotten my bundle from Intrepid Thread already and am playing with the pretty fabrics and my stash.

  7. What about prints with multiple colours? I have a Joel dewberry print which is yellow…except that it also has pink and raspberry. To me it still reads yellow though. And while your aqua choices above have green, the colours are pretty close. Any advice?

  8. Can't wait for this to start! I'm a new-ish follower to your blog, and after reading this "Oh, bitch, puhlease, I will z-snap your ass back to 1987 right along with those fugly pumps you think are designer" I laughed so hard I snorted in a very un-ladylike way. I completely adore you!

    Uh… back to the post, I really appreciate the tip about fabrics with white background. I haven't pulled fabrics yet, so that will definitely help. I also need to make time to read the color theory post!

    Thanks for a great post (and the unexpected snort!).

    I really like the white background fabrics but I am a sucker for quilts with a lot of white in them… so, if it needs a home, I would gladly take it off your hands, just sayin'… x

    I got my package yesterday from the Intrepid Thread. I see you referenced this as a "starter kit" so give me an idea how much more bright fabric do I need? I'm not a huge collector of brights, and I see you have several more than just three of the same value in your blocks. If I need to buy more, I better get started because I plan on starting from day 1, because I don't want to get behind! I can hardly wait, I think it's beautiful!!!!

  11. Love those blocks ………what a fabulous idea. Looking forward to seeing the weeks unfold and what people do. Thanks for sharing. Marie

  12. Oh man, I have not thought about a Ross store for years! Also curses, this QAL looks too good to resist. 🙂

    I've purchased a dark gray for my sashing, but I still need to decide where I'm going with the blocks. I better get that sorted!
