I am new to do anything like this and I am nervous to do anything like this. I hope that I don’t disappoint myself.
Don’t understand your fabric requirements. What size? What kind or color? I guess I just don’t understand what you mean on this. Thank you.
Hello Martha!
I have emailed you the PDF that has all of the details listed in your comment above!
Sincerely,

I am also having problems understanding the fabric requirements. All I see are the requirements for two blocks. If I’m not mistaken we will be doing 16 blocks. Are the fabric requirements different for each week? Is there a complete list of requirements for the full quilt? Thanks so much.
HI Judy,
Here is a link with the fabric requirements for each week: https://www.nationalquilterscircle.com/article/happy-block-swap-fabric-requirements/

Hi, newbie here going solo. Are the colours in fabric requirements suppose to be plain (not patterned) or patterned or combinations of both. Thank you
Hi Bernie!
Great question!
The fabric listed in the requirements has plain colours listed but if you want to use patterns, that’s okay too!

Thank you Joan. I understand each week makes two blocks total whether swapping or going solo. However, the fabric requirements are only enough for week 1. Will there be new requirements for week 2, 3,
etc?
HI Judy,
Here is a link with the fabric requirements for each week: https://www.nationalquilterscircle.com/article/happy-block-swap-fabric-requirements/
Sincerely,

Judy, I think the fabric is enough for the whole quilt, including the backing etc. Example: You won’t use the whole yard of color A in the first block. It will also be used in 3 other blocks. The same for the other colors. We can get the fabric up front so it will all match in the end. Hope that’s right or what you were looking for.
Three or Four other blocks, I mean.
i did not get the patters in the email today, thought I had signed up

I’m so looking forward to doing this challenge with all purple material. At this time I am doing both blocks each week.
Cannot wait to get started.
Were the pattern templates posted somewhere. I am late on this and would love to still do it. My Mom and sister quilt, but I have not done any piecing as of yet. I would love to do this one.

Up for a challenge
Looks like a big challenge
I have enjoyed seeing how the basic pattern develops into the varied blocks. I have done each of my blocks with different fabrics within the same color scheme. I have F to complete and then I’ll do the other two this next week. I really like the finished results.
Oh, I meant to say I do not have a partner. I’m doing the quilt myself for a granddaughter. I just use half the material requirements.
Is it to late to join?
