16” square again, my friends, reveal date: August 15th, 2012. I love the idea of going back to the 15th of our reveal months. We will have 2,5 months to work on the quilt. Are you OK with that or do you want a sooner or later reveal date? 


Let‘s have fun!

  3. Love this idea Nicolette, and the reveal date is fine. Funny though, if someone hadn't chosen this as a theme, it would have been the next one I picked. WooHoo! Off to the stash, because I think I know precisely what I plan on doing.
