What colors -
Do I want to use in my Quilt-Along LHQSQ 2.0 - ? -
Hmmm - decisions - decisions - ;))
I started with this beautiful Cornflower Blue that I had in my stash -
For the Border Blocks - Side Triangles - and Corners -
Then found this Light Gray -
For the Sashing - Cornerstones -
The Sampler Blocks will need a variety of light/medium/dark -
In two or three color families -
So I added a Scrap Bag pack of 12 - 1/4 yd cuts -
The values range from light to medium -
Some blues and grays - with a couple of greens - yellows - lavenders - mixed in -
But that looked a little boring -
So I added some ORANGE - light/medium/dark -
And then some scraps of PURPLE - light/medium/dark - just because - ;))
And some NAVY BLUE - because I want/need some more darks in the mix -
Then I realized that I had an ORANGE jelly roll -.
With some light/medium/dark -
So I substituted that for my yardage -
And then I found a GRAY jelly roll - light/medium/dark -
And one with a variety of NEUTRALS -
Almost forgot about the NEUTRALS -
Added them to my box - and now I have this -
And that should get me started - LOL - ;))
This is WAAAAY more fabric than I need - but I want to use my LEFT-EZE™ Rule and 2-1/2" strips for most of the "units" - and the jelly rolls are already cut - LOL.
I may find scraps that I want to use, too - and I reserve the right to make changes as I go along - so anything is fair game - ;))
First I'll play with the Border Blocks - Side Triangles - and Corners -
Get them cut - and up on the wall -
Then play with the Sashing - Cornerstones -
I'll post the piece count - cutting sizes - and other details later -
So - while I play with that -
You can be thinking about the colors you want to use in your Sampler Quilt - ;))
By the way - I added a tab at the top of my blog - Quilt-Along LHQSQ 2.0 -
All of the posts for this Quilt-Along will be listed there so that you can find them easily -
And so that those of you who are doing this "slow" can do the parts you miss along the way -
This will be a VERY leisurely Quilt-Along - with NO pressure - NO stress - ;))
And - before you ask -
When am I going to post the next part? -
I don't know yet -
I have to DO it first -
And I'm a S-L-O-W P-O-K-E Quilter -
So take your time thinking about your colors and/or choosing your fabrics -
It may not be until late February or early March -
Depending on how quickly I can get my taxes out to my accountant -
And how long it takes me to get some of this put together - LOL - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

I am good with doing this s-l-o-w. I have lots of things to do, so i won't need to rush this.
I do like your interesting collection of fabrics. I will probably fly by the seat of my pants on mine. LOL
