    So I got to cutting the last row of 12.5 inch squares and ran out of fabric. It was quilters showcase from Joann’s. Turns out my local store is out of it as is the warehouse. Im using a darker fabric for the large squares. My suggestion is in the future cut biggest pieces first. I have plenty left for cutting small pieces. I loved the challenge and eagerly awaited each weeks lesson. Hope there’s another challenge in the works! Thanks!

    Just now printing all the blocks for the challenge. I was really excited for this challenge because I’ve always wanted to do a two color quilt. Thanks for creating this, I’m sure I’ll love the videos as well. I listened to your intro, and was very impressed, you are a great teacher.
