Ok I'm in am off to look at blocks and see what one I'll do

I'm so excited I think I'll start this as soon as I've finished Chaz's Dresden plate quilt

[maryq]

I'm so definately IN on this one.

Here's my 2 cents:

White Background

Any colors: There's some gorgeous christmas prints with purple, and pink and black.

NO novelty

12" Quilter's choice

But hey, what ever works with everybody else is just FINE with me!!

OH BOY!!!!

Maybe this will motivate me to put the Christmas blocks I have from 2007 together too!

Speaking of Christmas..... I'll just put a bug in your ear about Secret Santa for 2011! This will be our FIFTH annual!!

PS Monday Night.... I'm so hooked on Dresden Plate... I think I'll do that those....that's the plan for NOW anyway.... but who knows I may change my mind!

[Jules]

Ok I'm going to do a whirlygig block and this might get me to finish a christmas redwork quilt from 2 Christmasses ago - oops

[Irishgram]

Boy, you gals don't waste time, do you.....I'm in for sure!

Doesn't matter to me what color.....I have a bin full of Christmas fabric just waiting but I'm sure I'll need to do more shopping, lol.....
